Liberals Are Trying Hard to Tarnish Reagan's Legacy

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?

They've been doing this since the dude was elected.

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.

Lol,

11 tax increases
300 dead marines. Didn't do a goddamn thing about it!
Tax cuts and policies causing most of our middle class problems today.
Most of the wealth started moving to the rich under him. Ending 75 years of anti-trust enforcement on corporations that worked.
Throwing Mental Patients Onto The Streets
Iran-Contra plan
Only president in the history of country to grant a full blown amnesty to 3 million people.

10 Reprehensible Crimes Of Ronald Reagan - Listverse

B. Hussein Obama was born in Mombasa in what is now Kenya on August 4, 1961 at 7:24 PM – and not in Honolulu, Hawaii. Four simple questions must be answered here:
1. Back in 1961 people of color were called “Negroes”. So how can that Obama’s “birth certificate” state that he is "African-American" when the term wasn't even used at that time? Also – he could not have been an “African-American” since his mother was white; at best he should have been classified as an African White.
2. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961 and lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. That “long form” certificate was fabricated after the “short form” certificate was shown to be a rather sloppy computer-generated fabrication that had to be eliminated from circulation. At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father was 25 years old and that he was born in "Kenya, East Africa" in 1936. This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate".
3. On the Birth Certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital ". This cannot be, because the hospitals in question in 1961 were separate entities called respectively "Kaui Keolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home”. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978? Why hasn't this been discussed in the major media? Let me repeat this: Let somebody explain to this former refugee from a communist hell how come our Main Stream Media have been not only silent about this affair but more than that have been condescending and rather inimical to us “the truthers”? Their silence and their cover-up have made them the co-conspirators in this ongoing crime.
(Note: the state employee who invented this full-form “Birth Certificate” was flying on the inter-island flight with a dozen other passengers when the plane was forced to land on the ocean surface. All passengers and the pilot were saved – except that state employee who mysteriously “drowned”.) Loretta Fuddy, the Hawaii official who verified his long form birth certificate was the only casualty in a plane crash not too long after she did her old friends, the Obamas, this favor.)
4. Another clue comes from Obama's book on his father. He states how proud he is of his father fighting in WWII. B. Hussein Obama's "birth certificate" says his father was 25 years old in 1961 when Obama was born. That should have put his father's date of birth approximately in 1936. Now we need to remember that WWII was between 1939 and 1945. Just how many 3 year olds fight in wars? Does that mean that Mr. Obama is a liar, or simply chooses to alter the facts to satisfy his political purposes? No, Sir – he is a liar.
My own question is this: How come a President of the most powerful country in the history of the world could not secure services of better professional forgers? Not only that – but this mess to happen after the short-form “birth certificate” was shown to be a really low-quality forgery that had to be speedily retracted!

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Reagan sat on cheap energy just like Clinton did and that is why our economy prospered during those times (ironically, it was a temporary blip caused by energy spikes preceding and following the Gulf War which allowed Clinton to back into office).
Reagan's strategy of arms buildup scared the living shit out of most people -- especially lefties -- but did end the Cold War which earns him a slot in the POTUS hall of fame.

"Liberals Are Trying Hard to Tarnish Reagan’s Legacy"

This fails as a straw man fallacy.

And Reagan pretty much did that to himself.

The Real Reagan Economic Record: Responsible and Successful Fiscal Policy
President Ronald Reagan's record includes sweeping economic reforms and deep across-the-board tax cuts, market deregulation, and sound monetary policies to contain inflation. His policies resulted in the largest peacetime economic boom in American history and nearly 35 million more jobs. As the Joint Economic Committee reported in April 2000:2

In 1981, newly elected President Ronald Reagan refocused fiscal policy on the long run. He proposed, and Congress passed, sharp cuts in marginal tax rates. The cuts increased incentives to work and stimulated growth. These were funda-mental policy changes that provided the foundation for the Great Expansion that began in December 1982.



As Exhibit 1 shows, the economic record of the last 17 years is remarkable, particularly when viewed against the backdrop of the 1970s. The United States has experienced two of the longest and strongest expansions in our history back to back. They have been interrupted only by a shallow eight-month downturn in 1990-91.
