Ronald Reagan - Prophet

[FJO]

When they have nothing to say, the Left comes up with infantile 'puns' like 'raygun' or display their total lack of decency by referring to someone they never met a '**********'.

Yeah... the guy who gave weapons to terrorists, began trickle down economics, and showed this country the first taste of Republican debt is a ********** for these and many other reasons.

"Trickle down" is just a liberal pejorative for "the free market." Reagan didn't begin it, but he partially restored the country to it. The "Republican debt" is really the Democrat Congress debt. They approved every dollar spent. In fact, Congress was the author of every budget that actually passed.

Money spent with Reagan and Democratic Congress = blame Reagan.
Money saved with Clinton and Republican Congress = credit Clinton.

Go figure.

Reagan saw today's socialist in the Democrap party because he saw them in Congress when he was POTUS and he stared across the table from USSR communists, so he knew the enemy well.

Reagan understood socialism and communism will always make a comeback because there are always going to be evil, immoral and stupid people living on this planet demanding other people take care of them.

People are jealous of others, even as children. Children will fight over food, toys, etc in school. My daughter was told not to wear a certain nice coat to school one day because the school had other kids stealing nice stuff from others. We had just moved to this city and the military kids attended this bad school off base full of ghetto trash (Obamabot) kids...so we eventually moved out of that area to the whiter neighborhood.

He was complex, perhaps.

Medicare's Soviet Label

Medicare fees are administered prices, set by a central government for the entire country. And that is Soviet economics.

So naturally one is led to ask: Who imported this fiendish Soviet pricing theory to the United States and imposed it on Medicare?

It was the administration of President Ronald Reagan, with the concurrence of a Congress controlled by the Democrats.

The Reagan administration acted after it became alarmed at the inflationary force inherent in a payment mechanism adopted by Medicare at its inception, at the behest of the hospital industry: retrospective, full-cost reimbursement of each hospital for its reported costs.

After exploring a number of alternatives, most of them probably not politically feasible, the Reagan administration and Congress decided to switch, during 1983-86, to set, centrally administered prices. It’s hardly likely that the Reagan administration or Congress thought themselves inspired by Soviet theory, a notion that has been advanced more recently. These policy makers just thought the new system made more economic sense.

Maybe you should just stop wearing panties. Ever thought of that? Not hygienic, I know, but it might help.

...Not only is that a really poor insult but I don't even know what you're talking about or how it relates to what I said.

You've obviously little grasp of the obvious and even less insight. Whine away. It does Reagan credit.

 

[GoneBezerk]

Asswipe, Medicaid/Medicare is socialism.

So was Reagan supposed to destroy those programs with a Democrap controlled Congress and SCOTUS???

A simpleton like you thinks you win the debate by making simpleminded statements.

Reagan had to fight Democrap scum like you in Congress over taxes, regulations, etc....but still was able to revive the economy and prove capitalism works better than your bullshit.

Of course not, making it a price-setter was absolutely the right move. Reagan helped to save Medicare by giving it that power.

 

[HomeInspect]

Reagan warned of many of the things that have happened since he passed. It is a shame to see them come true, and not learn from waht he had to say.

You've shown repeatedly that you have no concept of history and your opinion really is uninformed and means nothing.

In other words, I dispute your understanding of history. Your version is identical to the one they taught in the former Soviet Union.

This is what I'm saying. You don't like reality so you come up with retarded things like this. You'd suck any cock Fox News told you to and you have no original thoughts or opinions that are your own.

That's true in the sense that I despise dishonest propaganda. Everything you post is a lie.

As for having "original thoughts," what have you posted that anyone would call "original?" Almost everything you post could be found written on the wall of the men's room in the local high school.

 

[CandySlice]

One Obama Deficit > Any Reagan Budget

One Obama Deficit > All 8 of Reagans

I remember a time when the idea was to take the poor and lift them up. Now it's all about creating more bums.

What liberals don't realize that it is NOT a zero sum game. They 'think' that the only way to raise the standard of living of those who don't have is destroying those who do.

It is safe to say that if by some magic all the wealth of the world was evenly distributed and everyone would be exactly same, within five years those who have been rich would be rich again and those who have been poor would be poor again.

How come EVERYBODY in the sane world knows that but Obama followers?

Bri, did you teach your son to do that?? Charming.

 

[CandySlice]

I wonder if Bripat realizes that 'Everyone deserves what YOU worked hard for' is actually a slam on Obama?

 

[Bfgrn]

Bfgrn opined:

"Well, conservatives DID oppose the core principles of opportunity, responsibility, community and empowerment. Because that is what the War on Poverty was all about. It was not about equal outcomes.

You're confused...I didn't say conservatives worship Monica Lewinsky, I said they have a Monica Lewinsky worship of an opulent hierarchy."

And the War on Poverty has worked really well, hasn't it? Billions spent, with no visible results. Just ask people in any city with Democratic mayors. Detroit comes to mind? Or Washington, DC?

Affirmative Action forces employers, schools and other establishments to give jobs, classroom places and unearned privileges to persons based on the color of their skin, rather than on their abilities. Not to mention the content of their characters.

Affirmative action is the ultimate racism, because it tells people of color: You need the government because you are too stupid to do anything for yourself.

Affirmative Action demands equal outcome.

Affirmative Action was not part of the War on Poverty.

Why don't you educate yourself instead emoting?

Affirmative action in the United States began as a tool to address the persistent discrimination against African Americans in the 1960s. This specific term was first used to describe US government policy in 1961. Directed to all government contracting agencies, President John F. Kennedy's Executive Order 10925 mandated "affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin."

 

[S.J.]

He still holds the record for electoral landslides. Kind of hard to explain that away, huh libs?

I guess you've never heard of Richard Nixon

Nixon 1972 - 520 electoral votes
Reagan 1984 - 525 electoral votes

Yup, he lost only Mondale's home state of Minnesota by 3800 votes and DC (of course).

 

[S.J.]

yes, Ronny Raygun did it all by himself.

Actually, he DID do it all by himself. I don't know if you were around then, or paying attention if you were, but the Democrats fought Reagan at every turn. His popularity and effectiveness made the liberals crazy, and their efforts to make him fail drove them to do some very unpatriotic things (like side with the Soviets in arms negotiations). I love how the Dems now try to claim that the defeat of the Soviet empire was a bi-partisan effort. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Actually, that's a lie. Tip O'Neil and Reagan worked together because they weren't obstructive imbeciles and cared about the country.

You obviously weren't around or you would know how stupid that statement is. Tip O'neil opposed everything Reagan tried to do. The Democrats like to call him a bi-partisan because they want to share in Reagan's accomplishments but O'neil was an obstructionist. He had a temper tantrum on the House floor when Reagan got his tax cuts passed. He supported every Soviet position on arms control talks and his word wasn't worth shit (nor was he).

 

[P@triot]

I wonder how many ******* idiot liberal dumbocrats screamed "tin foil hat" back in 1961?

"Many have had their greatness made for them by their enemies." Baltasar Gracian

Seems an appropriate quotation here.

 

[francoHFW]

Ronald Reagan- demented idiot. Ruined the nonrich and the country.

"made blaming the poor "acceptable"- Mario Cuomo.

 

[S.J.]

Ronald Reagan- demented idiot. Ruined the country.

"made blaming the poor alright"- Mario Cuomo.

Yeah, he ruined the country by creating 20 million jobs, longest economic expansion in U.S. history, defeat of Soviet Union...He was so bad, he won re-election with 525 electoral votes. That's why every president since has tried to compare themselves to him, including Democrats, because he ruined the country. What an idiotic statement.

Wrong again, Reaganist dupe...

Yup- after first getting UE UP to 10.8%- LOTS pf Gov't jobs and tripled debt.

We're lucky he didn't RUIN Gorby and and give the USSR back to the hardliners...

Voodoo is a disaster:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.
