Runnin' Ronnie raised the debt ceiling 17 times, and increased the national debt 189%.
The best President in modern times ?
Small wonder Obama is the worst President in history, he has only raised the debt ceiling 7 times ... That damn slacker. Be like Reagan !!!!
you came here to make a fool of youself again
what would it look like if we examined who voted for those debt ceiling raises under reagan, bush, OR obama; and who voted more against it?????
( note to left-wing douche Seite: your own Messiah's voted AGAINST RAISING THE DEBT CEILING AS A SENATOR doesnt count since you sissies dont want to talk about that; and you're the ones insisting it be raised NOW, as he is)
libs are morons who lie TO THEMSELVES
ok, lets look ..
Two bills passed in 1982 and 1984 together"constituted the biggest tax increase ever enacted during peacetime,The bills didn't raise more revenue by hiking individual income tax rates though. Instead they did it largely through making it tougher to evade taxes, and through "base broadening" -- that is, reducing various
federal tax breaks and closing tax loopholes.
Reagan threw the simpletons a tax break on individuals to keep them busy while he jabbed them in the OTHER pocket.
any way you spin it Reagan increased the national debt 189%.
It's the tax cuts.....PERIOD:
The Republicans never have seen a tax cut for corporations and the rich they didn't like but never have quit spending for their pet projects and war machine:
These figures came from the bureau of the debt....they're easily verified:
