Liberals Are Trying Hard to Tarnish Reagan’s Legacy

[Iceweasel]

Reagan entered into his presidency showing signs of dementia...........


Just saying.

We have massive problems existing because of Reagan. No one needs to tarnish him. He did that all by himself.

You must have dementia. The country did great, I was there.

It sucked I was there.

If it sucked it wasn't Reagan's fault. I was there along with many new businesses. Being a liberal you blame your failures on others.

GHW Bush called Reagans crazy ideas "voodoo economics". GHW was right on.

But Reagan mesmerized his audience like an actor is supposed to whenever he is reading his lines.

And all his lines were indeed fed to him by his handlers.

He was just a stupid figurehead himself, same as his pretty wife.

Then he became Reagan's VP and found out supply side and lower taxes worked.

The first thing that happened under Reagan was the destruction of construction unions on the Gulf coast. It got worse after that.

Sure....but he tripled the deficit.....and eventually the debt....

This was the first true clue that Reagan was a fraud, but nobody got it.

The second clue was Iran/Contra.

Do you equate frauds with fakes?

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

Are you that young and indoctrinated or are you biased?

Nah.....just informed......

Then you need to supply information. Otherwise you're just a troll.

Your Bold Assertion, bleated without the support of any facts or citations, doesn't rise to the level of "argument".....if you think you are equipped for that debate, proceed.

He ended the Cold War. What don't you understand about that?

Cold War ended before 1989?

Is that a trick question? LOL

The Cold War ended IN 1989.

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

It's a Bold Assertion, not an argument....

Do you know anything about "The Committee for the Present Danger" or "Team B"?

You're not equipped....

I'm familiar with the Committee ON the Present Danger but not FOR the Present Danger. What do terrorism task forces have to do with choking the Soviet economy through arms build up? Did you get your brainwashing at Howard or Morgan St?

I'm going from memory, you from a fresh trip to Google....

You should have read further.....neither were "terrorism task forces".........I suggested that you were not equipped, and you just demonstrated it.....

Neither have anything to do with choking the Soviet economy through arms buildup.
Trade in your Grambling diploma and go get educated.

OK....so you have no idea.......





take a hike......

Not agreeing with your propagated history revision doesn't mean I'm mistaken.
Reagan's arms buildup choked the Soviet economy and they ultimately collapsed. Carter and lefties were still pushing for and signing bogus arms reduction treaties. Lefties and media were expecting WWIII.
Reagan was right as history empirically demonstrated. Get over it!

The lefties were still in their crib at the time.

There are several far-left agents writing letters to the editor of the local Las Vegas Sun newspaper of the government workers union sympathies. Those writers say that Reagan increased income taxes and in 8 years boosted up the national debt by almost $2 trillion. How the history gets corrupted in the recounting. First, that low-IQ bloviating gasbag Carter (you remember that “nukelar engineer”?) left the country staggering under an inflation rate of 13% and an unemployment rate of 10% (anybody remembers “the misery index” of 23% which is the sum of the two?). The prime interest rate for the best companies was 21%; the regular 30-year mortgage interest rate was 16%. Reagan cut all the income tax rates in three stages (the Democrat majorities in Congress would not let him do it in one swell swoop). After 6 years the tax receipts by the IRS doubled ending with major surpluses. The Dow Industrial Index went from 550 to 4,000. To “save” the failing savings & loan companies Carter had allowed these to engage in commercial building lending (the repeal of Glass-Stiegel Act), thus resulting in massive failure of those S&L companies; to reimburse their depositors Reagan was forced to spend $560 billion, adding that amount temporarily to the deficit. Carter also introduced the so-called Community Reinvestment Act which resulted in the crash of the housing market in 2007-2008 when pushed by the Democrat majorities under threats of huge fines and jail terms by the Frank-Dodd-Pelosi-Reid criminal combine – when some 600,000 homes were “sold” to “underserved minorities” who had no snowball’s chance in hell to ever pay for them. Later under B. Hussein Obama (our Marxist Muslim president from Kenya) both Fannie May and Freddie Mac went bankrupt and were nationalized with about $180 billion in the red – so far. Reagan’s budget proposals to the Congress were met with derision: the Democrat majority leader Tip O’Neill would come out on the steps of his building every year carrying Reagan’s budget books, and saying DOA (“dead on arrival”) would throw them into a conveniently placed garbage bin. By the end of his presidency the budget was in surplus; the inflation was below 4%; and the unemployment rate was 4.5% (normal bottom rate in boom times). That boom carried into the end of the Clinton presidency in 2000, when that impeached disbarred felon was disciplined by House leader Gingrich. Reagan’s increased military expenditures caused the fall of the Soviet Union’s slave empire in 1990-91. Also, Reagan only nullified Carter’s military reductions. And this Stalinist writer calls this a failure?

and an unemployment rate of 10%

Show me 10% between Jan 77 and Jan 81........


wait a minute

Whoomp, there it is!

His first term was economically as bad as Obama's...His second had black monday Black Monday (1987) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

People didn't worry about the economy back then still happy from the sixties.

People didn't worry about it unless they were personally effected. It was common to hear that anyone not doing well deserved their plight. That was the beginning of the heartless right wing attitude that is so common now.

The banks are heartless. Those foreclosures will hit us all eventually.

Ronald Reagan is thought of as one of the best Presidents of all time. That's just a fact. But of course Liberals have this need to rewrite history.

And many consider him the most overrated.......

The only ones who do that are children like you..and weren't alive through Nixion. Ford and Carter

The sucking of your math notwithstanding, Gramps, I don't see how that bears on the question of whether or not he is overrated....

My math?
