Rand Paul trashes Ronald Reagan

[Luddly Neddite]

New video shows Rand Paul repeatedly bashing Ronald Reagan - Salon.com

...“The deficit went through the roof under Reagan,” Paul says in a video from 2007 showing him speaking on his father’s behalf. “So how long did it take Ron Paul to figure out that the guy he had liked, endorsed, campaigned for, campaigned for him [wasn't fiscally conservative]?” Paul asked. “The very first [Reagan] budget. Ron Paul voted ‘no’ against the very first Reagan budget… Everybody loved this ‘great’ budget. It was a $100 billion in debt. This was three times greater than Jimmy Carter’s worst deficit.”..

“People want to like Reagan,” Paul said. “He’s very likable. And what he had to say most of the time was a great message. But the deficits exploded under Reagan,” Paul continued. “The reason the deficits exploded is [Reagan] ignored spending. Domestic spending went up at a greater clip under Reagan than it did under Carter.”...

Don't bother attacking the source.

Its all on video.

Spending could afford to go up. We were raking in records amounts of money.

Reagan wasn't a dictator and had a Democrat Congress

How is pointing out that spending went up trashing Reagan?

Lud posted on the thread. Clearly by saying that I am trashing you. At least in your worldview.

Reagan was a man. A good President who did alot of good things and some bad things, but the man has been dead for quite a while now. It's time to step up and surpass his legacy and create our own.

Reagan didn't have unpaid for wars. Reagan didn't have a deregulated Wall Street. Reagan didn't have tens of thousands of young Americans maimed or life. And still Reagan had enormous deficits. Odd that.

According to Krugman, WWII still isn't paid for.

He's an idiot. Krugman should just show us his Stalin poster that Jay Carney borrowed for his photo op.

Obviously not since Reagan and the Congress added $3T to the national debt during his eight year as president.

Reagan supported terrorism.

20 Mule Team Borax! Bedtime for Bonzo. but Reagan deregulated the Savings and Loan sector! How'd that work out?

Baloney. The bills rolling in from Vietnam were a large part of the Nixon/Carter malaise.

Reagan was great on foreign policy! Remember how he let those Marines get blown to smithereens then cut and ran from Lebanon? Then, to make up for it, he invaded that Caribbean powerhouse Grenada!

Then he armed Iran.

What a great president!

If he was Black, the wingnuts would still be burning him in effigy. But instead, they trumpet him as a great leader. What's that tell us about the wingnuts?

You know that American involvement in Vietnam ended in 1975 right? Carter did not take the oath of office until 1977.
