Liberals still Loathe Reagan, maybe because they hate seeing a Conservative who actually helped America?
Nice misdirection,. but I still saw how the trick was done.Allow me to fix your quote:TRIPLED the national debt.
Remember, infantile one: Live in the NOW.Obama QUADRUPLED the national debt. DISPUTE that FACT! Our economy LOST manufacturing jobs DESPITE Obama's HUGE deficit spending, why is that?
I like to think my partisanship (Which is not so extreme as yours) is based on rational observation. It looks as if YMMV.
Please fisk my stuff in Blue, rather than red if you want me to respond in the future.
Regan cleaned up one hell of a mess that was left by Carter. OL'BO should be thanking his lucky stars that he doesn' t have to deal with inflation. Reagan wasn't so lucky.
Whatever he did. It worked.
Mayby Barry should take a look back in history and perhaps catch a few clues????

Reagan borrowed money and spent his way out of it.
If you say it worked, lets try some stimulus
Have you ever owned a business? Have you ever worked in the private sector?
Have you read the link, Frank? A simple yes or no will suffice. My guess, you enjoy being ignorant and don't mind posting that which makes you 'appear' stupid.
Um yeah, I have degrees in economics and finance and was an analyst and executive for a guy who worked his way up to the Forbes 400.

A partisan hack will not survive in this debate.

Just before Reagan made kicking their asses out of Central America and Eastern Europe the central theme of his Presidency

The Contras were the Che Guevaras of the right wing lunatics.

1) Reagan had a big-spending economic stimulus plan. It's true. As noted in the book, the economic turnaround of the 1980s had little or nothing to do with Reagan's income tax cut that was heavily weighted to the rich but was instead the result of other factors, including the tight money policies of then-Fed chairman Paul Volcker (now an Obama adviser) and a global collapse of oil prices. But there was something else: Reagan also created thousands upon thousands of new jobs across America with a spending program that caused the federal deficit to skyrocket. It was called the Reagan defense buildup.
In the part of America where I lived in the 1980s, Long Island, N.Y., the economy was booming, in part because of the government dollars thrown at the then-Grumman Corp. to build new jet fighters. Now, government has a chance to do the same thing that Reagan achieved -- but not by building machines of death but creating jobs for things that will improve life, like solar power and high-speed rail.
2) Reagan would not have allowed many of the terror tactics started by Bush and Cheney and continued in the face of pressure by the Obama administration. Don't believe it? -- let me count the ways:
Ronald Reagan, "Reagan" By Lou Cannon
Cannon, Lou. Reagan. New York: Putnam, 1982.
Lou Cannon has covered Ronald Reagan for thirty-six years, first as a reporter for the San Jose Mercury News, later as the White House correspondent for the Washington Post.
He began with covering Reagan's first campaign for governor of California in 1966 and continued until Reagan's recent death in 2004. His other books on Reagan include Ronnie and Jesse: A Political Odyssey, Ronald Reagan: The Presidential Portfolio, President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime, Governor Reagan: His Rise to Power, and several others.
After following and working closely with Reagan, Cannon forms an obvious relationship and opinion of him.
Cannon admits that he "like(s) and respect(s) Ronald Reagan while remaining skeptical that his actions will achieve the results he intends," (Cannon, 1981, 15).
Cannon writes that he was at first skeptical of Reagan's abilities to perform as president; specifically with foreign policy and his economic theories.
However, Cannon argues that Reagan's presidency may mirror his governorship, "he started ineptly but soon evolved into a competent governor who was willing to sacrifice ideology for political achievement," (Cannon, 1981, 15).
Because this book was written during Regan's first year as president, Cannon is unable to record complete evidence to support his own theory, although he accomplishes this in his following books about President Reagan.
Cannon, an obvious conservative supporter of Reagan, includes criticisms and shortcomings of Reagan as well as praise.
Cannon does not let his personal relationship skew his writings and has thus become known as Reagan's definitive biographer.
Cannon's mission to provide an in depth biography of the nation's fortieth president and his ability to lead, begins by tracing Reagan's origins, his hopes and dreams, fears, achievements and failures.
Cannon provides the reader with insight to Reagan's childhood and adolescent years and attempts to...
