You can see the damage committed by Reagan against the middle class, while benefiting the wealthy. Yet Obama has done the exact same things only much worse....yet you love Obama.I voted for Reagan twice
At the time, the moral of the country was at an all time low. We ere humiliated by Iran, had lost VietNam, had double digit inflation and high interest rates
Reagan offered promise, a shining city on the hill, personal responsibility. He was charming and had a vision of what we should be
I bought in to trickle down economics, debt doesn't matter, a huge military and right wing rhetoric
In hindsight, Reagan sold out working Americans to provide a low cost workforce and led us on a path of unfettered debt
We didn't lose Vietnam that was a lie generated by liars like "the most trusted man in news" Cronkite.
Trickle down is now nothing more then a liberal talking point. I sure am not happy replacing trickle down with trickle up poverty.
Reagan selling out the middle class, yet he ushered in a resurgence in America like no other president before or after. Could you please provide the example of how he sold out the middle class? Earn income credits, was that a sell out? I know what you will say but I will wait.
Some debt doesn't matter and the resurgence of the economy proved that. After Carter's malaise speech America needed a boost and got it. You and I go into debt to buy a home or an auto. So just saying debt is bad is BS and then to ignore the gigantic hole Obama put our children in is really laughable. And what did we get with Obama's debt? GM and the longest weakest recovery in history? Not worth the money.
I regret to inform you.....yes, we did lose VietNam. It was the result of never having a clear vision of what we wanted to accomplish outside of kill commies
Tickle down resulted in the wealthy just keeping the extra wealth rather than trickling down prosperity......why was anyone surprised?
Reagan sold out the middle class by shifting more of the tax burden to them, cutting labor protections, cutting educational support and holding down wages
How do you reconcile these obviously conflicting view points?
Other than not reversing existing policies towards the middle class. Can you point to what Obama policies have harmed the middle class?
