Reagan exuded optimism

[SniperFire]

We had hopeless stagsuck under Carter. I know, I was around and I voted for him.

We had 25% car loans back then.

Reagan created 21 million jobs just in his 8 years, and led us to a a 35 billion job boom in total.

Reagan DOUBLED GDP and (nearly) DOUBLED tax receipts to the Federal gubmint.

Reagan saved America.

Obama is a stain on this great country, and lightweights like him would be relegated to fetching the coffee and donuts in Reagan's day.

When's the last time you saw a conservative around here who exuded optimism??

Obama is certainly a dark cloud over America.

And I can't imagine they will ever get that stench out of the Oval Office.

Ah yes, because what? Because you think people with dark skin smell bad??

We get it, you're racist, no need to remind us every fucking day.

Nice use of the race card, but sorry... it was MO who said he stinks:

In an interview with Glamour magazine, Michelle Obama reveals that her husband, Barack, is so “snore-y and stinky” when he wakes up in the morning that their daughters won’t crawl into bed with him.

Reagan exuded senility - when he was awake.

And don't forget he doubled GDP. And Federal tax receipts.

What was Oblunder's GDP growth rate last quarter, again?

So you admire his tax increases?

Reagan was a substantial net tax cutter. As a 'political junky', you rather suck.

Repeating a lie doesn't make it true.

Please shut up and go away.

Where do you come up with this idiocy? Does someone feed it to you or is it spontaneously generated inside that empty skull of yours?

Tax revenues, adjusted for inflation, were 1.197 trillion dollars in 1980.
ey were 1.174 trillion by 1984. That would not be a double, that would less revenue.

By 1988 they were 1.421 trillion. THAT is not a doubling of tax receipts.

Stop ruining this forum by posting shit on it. Please.

Historical Federal Receipt and Outlay Summary

Imagine that Revenues pretty much stayed the same with a massive tax cut kind of throws wrench into tax cuts "cost us money"

HOW DID THE REAGAN TAX CUTS AFFECT THE U.S. TREASURY?

Many critics of reducing taxes claim that the Reagan tax cuts drained the U.S. Treasury. The reality is that federal revenues increased significantly between 1980 and 1990:

■Total federal revenues doubled from just over $517 billion in 1980 to more than $1 trillion in 1990. In constant inflation-adjusted dollars, this was a 28 percent increase in revenue.3

■As a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), federal revenues declined only slightly from 18.9 percent in 1980 to 18 percent in 1990.4

■Revenues from individual income taxes climbed from just over $244 billion in 1980 to nearly $467 billion in 1990.5 In inflation-adjusted dollars, this amounts to a 25 percent increase

Reagan was illusion, a puppet run by masters who sought and still seek only the best for their interests. Those are not our interests.

Dark cloud? Stench? Hmm...

Again, certain people forget the 'W.' legacy. Everything is up from that low, low point.

Fork reagan.. He gave amnesty to 4 million illegal invaders. Plus he sold weapons to our enemy iran - that's treason.

Yes, his "kitchen cabinet" picked him and told him what to say, and when to say it.

Reagan explained in his own words his opinions long before he ran for President you’re a clueless liberal nutjob

Criticizing Reagan does not make one liberal, nuts, left or anything else. Merely an objective observer.

The fact that liberals are still whining about "St. Ronny" (see above) 24 years since he left office is as incontestable as is his enduring legacy of success which was to their demise. It even led them to rename themselves progressives. Another way of looking at it is that the former proves the latter.

Yea, old Ronny's enduring legacy is still with us...

Where did our debt come from? When did massive debt become part of the American economy?

Reagan switched the federal government from what he critically called, a “tax and spend” policy, to a “borrow and spend” policy, where the government continued its heavy spending, but used borrowed money instead of tax revenue to pay the bills. The results were catastrophic. Although it had taken the United States more than 200 years to accumulate the first $1 trillion of national debt, it took only five years under Reagan to add the second one trillion dollars to the debt. By the end of the 12 years of the Reagan-Bush administrations, the national debt had quadrupled to $4 trillion!

That was not Reagan exuding optimism...it was Reagan exuding fear-mongering.

An excellent example of left wing whining! Thank you.

Anyway, isn't that more of a graph depicting the rise of debt by following presidents since Reagan's last full year in office was 1988?

Anyway, we really don't need additional proof of the liberal pathology regarding Reagan. Thanks again anyway.
