Reagan.......

[YoursTruly]

Here's why Reagan was considered the great conservative. An awesome speaker. He spoke of conservatism like no other. He made people believe him, because conservatism is extremely awesome. it works. It keeps the economy sound and the government limited.

But if you know anything about conservatism, you'll realize that Reagan was all talk. Notice at the beginning how he complains about the debt ceiling was raised twice. That's something to complain about. It should never be increased.

But not too far into the distant future, after this video, Reagan was elected president. And during his administration, he increased the programs and government agencies. He increased the size and scope of government. Increased spending and taxes.
Completely opposite of things he spoke about. That part of Reagan never changed.

Reagan was great. He and Mulroney made a great North American duo. Those were good times. I only wish I had lived in my prime during those years.

Agree, but it was Reagan-Thatcher that brought about the watershed events that toppled the USSR, It was a period of uniquely powerful leadership in the West perhaps rivalled by Trump-Johnson today. We shall see.

Reagan, Thatcher, Waleska and The Pope collapsed the USSR. What a great period of history!

The USSR collapsed themselves. Americans just gave our president the credit. Sort of like they do with Trump now. Obama supporters did with Obama. And so forth and so on.

America collapsed them. Primarily through isolation and forcing them to spend insane amounts of money to keep up in the nuclear arms race.

This is where America has to learn. Many global socialists want to bankrupt you.

That's the talking point/bumper sticker. But it's just no so. There were way more relevant factors involved in the USSR's demise. The arms race was just a drop in the bucket.

BTW, before you try to shove more propaganda down my throat, he's some info you might enjoy.
The USSR fell in 1991, 3 years after Reagan left office. In April of 1989, The USSR was only spending about $122 billion. The US was spending almost $300 billion.

Socialism & Communism is what sank the USSR. This is all basic history 101. The ONLY reason why the facts of this is not more widely known, is because Reagan still has his big government supporting supporters. And they want him to have all the glory. Reagan was long gone by the time the USSR fell.

No they didn't. We know you Sleeper Cell Commies like to keep spouting that crap to save face, but Reagan called them Evil, said they would collapse, and made them collapse. Sucks to be a Sleeper Cell for the losing team

You'd rather just spout off the talking points/bumper stickers than to actually learn the facts.

BTW, I'm not a commie, dude. I'm a Goldwater/Paul conservative. Something you commie republicans need a HUGE dose of, before you completely destroy the republican party.

Reagan was a great president.

Trump is Reagan 2.0 ....

 

[YoursTruly]

Does the poster not understand you are never going to agree with everything any President does. Poster also leaves out initial tax cuts that fired off the economy

Tax cuts with HUGE spending increases is just stupid. Tax cuts with spending cuts is "conservative." You can't spend your way out of debt.
BTW, the tax cuts were enough to shake a stick at. Hell, even Obama cut income taxes.

And Reagan fired off the conservative movement which eventually led to Repub Congress that balanced the budget with Clinton. Bush and the Congress during his terms threw it away. Teabaggers gave it another shot. Cant remember the last lib who gave a damn about it.

Fired off the conservative movement? Reagan destroy most of what was conservative in DC. All that dayum spending and tax increases, the budget deficit ballooning, they had to do something.

Ray Goon was so bad and mentally challenged a rock song was made about his lunacy. Living in the land of illusion. His time as governor of California set in motion the still visible homelessness and insane people on the streets as well as other humanity problems.

Ray Goon sucked and I mean his policies still haunt American politics and nation.

I LIVED during that period!

You're the latest Jakestarkey trying to tell us what "real" Republicans should think, which, btw, automatically outs you as a Prog

Based on the depraved political positions you take, I call solid digestive waste from a male bovine on you having ever voted Republican. Republicans have never stood for the crap that you stand for.

His inability to control the deficit is a valid point AGAINST Reagan.


To pretend that simply citing that one historical fact, invalidates everything he did, is just partisan trolling.

Congress passed the Unconstitutional Budget Impoundment Act in 1974 ending the Presidents role as a meaningful partner in the budgeting process

Please expand. I have not heard this point before.

Prior to 1974, the President essentially had a line item veto. Taking advantage of a weakened Presidency, the Stalinist democrats eviscerated the role of POTUS in the budgeting process - and we've never had a balanced budget since then

/——/ All that spending was created by the democRAT congress who controlled the budget. All the president can do is submit a proposed budget - you glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.

Did you know that the Budget Impoundment Act passed prior to Reagan and was enacted BECAUSE Nixon used essentially a line item veto?

Budget Impoundment Act is like the Coolidge Presidency, it's never talked about in school because the more you know about it the more it exposes Progressives as losers and weenies

I will read up on that. Sounds very revealing.

A very corrupt administration was Reagan's although Bob Barr was allowed to lighten the damage.

List of Reagan administration convictions.

Not sure what you're talking about, I know lots of people who hate Reagan because their government cheese jobs went away under Reagan. My ex-wife's father being one of them. He spits on the ground at hearing Reagan's name because his cushy Dept of Agriculture job went bye bye when the agencies were scaled back. Is it any wonder they are Sanders supporters? That whole family believes the federal government should be the employer of everyone in the country, and government management is the only way to efficiently manage work flow. Needless to say none of them (my ex wife included) have ever held a private sector job.

Reagan wasn't all bad. And I didn't say anything close to that. Hell, even Obama wasn't all bad. But Reagan done a lot of things that were not only unconservative, but adversely affected the economy in the long run. Spending your way out of debt is impossible. As we can see now. It's what HW, Clinton, W. Obama and now Trump are still trying.
Well, in all honesty, I think they know/knew this. And they just don't care anymore. Just borrow and spend. Keep the lobbyist happy and the propaganda flowing. Then hope and pray that they can get through their administration before everything come tumbling down.
