Reagan's Promises

[NYcarbineer]

Is this the Reaganism all you conservatives seem determined to restore, in principle, to the Republican Party?

From February 1981 (addressing a joint session of Congress)

Now, I know that exaggerated and inaccurate stories about these cuts have disturbed many people, particularly those dependent on grant and benefit programs for their basic needs. Some of you have heard from constituents, I know, afraid that social security checks, for example, were going to be taken away from them. Well, I regret the fear that these unfounded stories have caused, and I welcome this opportunity to set things straight.

We will continue to fulfill the obligations that spring from our national conscience. Those who, through no fault of their own, must depend on the rest of us -- the poverty stricken, the disabled, the elderly, all those with true need -- can rest assured that the social safety net of programs they depend on are exempt from any cuts.

The full retirement benefits of the more than 31 million social security recipients will be continued, along with an annual cost-of-living increase.

Medicare will not be cut, nor will supplemental income for the blind, the aged, and the disabled.

And funding will continue for veterans pensions.

School breakfasts and lunches for the children of low-income families will continue, as will nutrition and other special services for the aging.

There will be no cut in Project Head Start or summer youth jobs.

Would Reagan be a RINO today???

 

[Wiseacre]

Essentially, yes.

What was the level of debt back in 1981?

Thread fail due to lack of common sense.

But aside from multiple free meals at school, this falls in line with todays conservatives.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Geesh, social engineering has only grown 100 fold since then.

 

[Truthmatters]

The Reagan the right whorships never exsisted

 

[Dot Com]

School lunches? Wasn't his admin the one that termed ketchup a vegetable?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Ketchup, made from tomatoes, a fruit, are high in lycopene, which is good for the heart.

 

[Truthmatters]

tomatoes are fruits

 

[The T]

Ketchup, made from tomatoes, a fruit, are high in lycopene, which is good for the heart.

Until the late 1800's the tomato was classified as a fruit to avoid taxation, but this was changed after a Supreme Court ruling that the tomato is a vegetable and should be taxed accordingly.

Thanks, I didn't know that, T.

Reagan is dead. the promises he made 30 years ago are relevant to absolutely nothing. If he was alive today he would be calling for reforms in these programs. Only a certifiable moron doesn't understand that we can't pay what has been promised by sleazy unscrupulous Democrat politicians from the past.

Technically speaking, tomatoes are fruit, but so are squash and cucumbers.

They know this...they don't have any other course other than to dig up Reagan especially when they know they are losing the argument of Conservatism versus what they have latched themselves onto which is failing miserably...and yes that means OBAMA.

Reagan was one of the freaks who decided no one of an opposong view could hold office in the screen actors guild????

Always had a feeling he was intolerant and liberal enough to find some reason the government could get in your life. So against the freedoms given in the constitution.
