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.
