Ronald Reagan: Worst President Ever? | Consortiumnews

No shit. Sad its taken almost 30 years to realize this. The man destroyed America for normal every day Americans and set it on a path for the rich and only the rich.

Let's check.


And the tax cuts of the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 stimulated economic growth. “As a 1982 JEC study pointed out,[1] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid.” http://www.house.gov/jec/fiscal/tx-grwth/reagtxct/reagtxct.htm

1. The benefits from Reaganomics:
   1. The economy grew at a 3.4% average rate…compared with 2.9% for the previous eight years, and 2.7% for the next eight.(Table B-4)
   2. Inflation rate dropped from 12.5% to 4.4%. (Table B-63)
   3. Unemployment fell to 5.5% from 7.1% (Table B-35)
   4. Prime interest rate fell by one-third.(Table B-73)
   5. The S & P 500 jumped 124% (Table B-95) http://www.gpoaccess.gov/eop/tables10.html
   6. Charitable contributions rose 57% faster than inflation. Dinesh D’Souza, “Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary May Became an Extraordinary Leader,” p. 116

While the ranks of the wealthy quickly multiplied, middle-class investors also entered the stock market in rapidly growing numbers. The creation by Congress in 1978 of the 401(k) tax-deferred retirement plan provided new incentives for workers to invest their savings in the stock market (often through mutual funds) rather than relying on company-funded pensions for retirement. The 401(k) led to a kind of democratization of Wall Street, as the percentage of American households owning some stake in the stock market—either directly or through mutual funds—shot quickly from 15.9% in 1983 to 29.6% in 1989.23 Thus the great bull market of the 1980s created more wealth, for more American families, than any previous boom in history.

And then Reagan passed the largest peace time tax hike in history thereby wiping out any previous tax cuts.

People were paying MORE taxes not less when Reagan left office.

Reagan spent like a drunken Keynesian all while claiming that "government is the problem" and increased government spending by 82% but there are idiots here who still claim that Reagan was a small government conservative.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

We burst from the economic stagnation of the 1970s into a dynamic, innovative, high-tech-oriented economy. Even in recent years the much-maligned U.S. did well. Between year-end 2002 and year-end 2007 U.S. growth exceeded the entire size of China's economy.”

1. Under Reagan, the debt went up $1.7 trillion, from $900 billion to $2.6 trillion.
2. But….the national wealth went up $ 17 trillion
3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism. Spurring a stock-market, energy, venture-capital, real-estate and employment boom, the Reagan tax-rate cuts and other pro-enterprise policies added some $17 trillion to America's private-sector assets, dwarfing the trillion-dollar rise in public-sector deficits and creating 45 million net new jobs at rising wages and salaries.

Reagan INCREASED the size of the government. He INCREASED government spending by 82%

If you are a Reagan fan you are a fan of BIG government

You're obviously a snowflake of a liberal. Reagan increased government spending, much of it on the arms build up that brought down the USSR. Is that your problem, or is it just old-fashioned butt hurt since he annihilated the American left too?

You obviously can't seem to think outside your infinitesimal pigeonhole.

You deny that Reagan INCREASED the size of government even though he said "government is the problem"? You deny that he passed large tax hikes that wiped out his tax cuts? You dent he increased spending by 82%?

He sold you a bill of goods and you fell for it hook line and sinker.

And FYI the USSR economy was in trouble before Reagan took office and was going to collapse under its own weight with or without Reagan and his spending spree

Why the USSR Collapsed Economically

While initially experiencing rapid economic growth, the Soviet command economy collapsed after it grew more complex.

www.investopedia.com

Today Reagan would be a much hated RINO

I denied nothing idiot.

So when I say what Reagan did your only retort was to call me a snowflake?

Wow you should have to get licensed because your wit is obviously a blunt but deadly instrument.

But then again you still think it was Reagan that brought down the USSR economy even though it was already on life support before Reagan was elected

You'd have to wonder if who wrote that was even born yet during Reagan.

most of the people on that site are like a bunch of spoiled little snots

they are little slave to the Democrat party. It would be cute except they vote for our lives and who want's someone with that much hate voting for their life?

Born in 84. Old enough to remember my parents troubles thanks to that asshole.

I have SHOES older than you. So you were FIVE FUCKING YEARS OLD when he left office? And you think you knew him?

I was five when JFK was assassinated. I remember looking up at the stove as my mother told me the president had just been killed. I barely understood what she was talking about and I have more brains in my pinky than your whole body.

The creation by Congress in 1978 of the 401(k) tax-deferred retirement plan provided new incentives for workers to invest their savings in the stock market (often through mutual funds) rather than relying on company-funded pensions for retirement. The 401(k) led to a kind of democratization of Wall Street, as the percentage of American households owning some stake in the stock market—either directly or through mutual funds—shot quickly from 15.9% in 1983 to 29.6% in 1989.23 Thus the great bull market of the 1980s created more wealth, for more American families, than any previous boom in history.

3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism.

George Gilder: The Real Reagan Lesson for Romney-Ryan

Wow the brainwashing is deep with you

Reagan INCREASED the size of the government. He INCREASED government spending by 82%

If you are a Reagan fan you are a fan of BIG government

You're obviously a snowflake of a liberal. Reagan increased government spending, much of it on the arms build up that brought down the USSR. Is that your problem, or is it just old-fashioned butt hurt since he annihilated the American left too?

You obviously can't seem to think outside your infinitesimal pigeonhole.

You deny that Reagan INCREASED the size of government even though he said "government is the problem"? You deny that he passed large tax hikes that wiped out his tax cuts? You dent he increased spending by 82%?

He sold you a bill of goods and you fell for it hook line and sinker.

And FYI the USSR economy was in trouble before Reagan took office and was going to collapse under its own weight with or without Reagan and his spending spree

Why the USSR Collapsed Economically

While initially experiencing rapid economic growth, the Soviet command economy collapsed after it grew more complex.

Today Reagan would be a much hated RINO

I denied nothing idiot.

So when I say what Reagan did your only retort was to call me a snowflake?

Wow you should have to get licensed because your wit is obviously a blunt but deadly instrument.

But then again you still think it was Reagan that brought down the USSR economy even though it was already on life support before Reagan was elected

You're a sleazy lying TDS moron. Why should anyone give a shit about your bogus questions?

I didn't realize this thread was about Trump?

And the tax cuts of the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 stimulated economic growth. “As a 1982 JEC study pointed out,[1] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid.” http://www.house.gov/jec/fiscal/tx-grwth/reagtxct/reagtxct.htm

If you are a Reagan fan you are a fan of BIG government

Governement grows regardless of which party is in power. That's what you ignore.

YEah OK

He increased spending by 82% and increased the debt by 186%

And you idiots still think he was a "small government" guy

If you're a Reagan fan you love BIG government

The Dim congress held him up for ransom to get his spending on defense approved.

If you're a douchebag, you claim Reagan supported big government.

So you're saying he would have agreed to anything just so he could increase spending.

Yeah that's a small government guy alright.

REagan ran on the premise that "government is the problem"

If you really think that government is the problem there would be no way in hell you could worship Ronnie

In fact you would be calling him a RINO of the first order today.

The bottom line is that Dims are the ones who demanded more spending. Only douchebags would blame Reagan for the increase in spending.

And who signed those spending bills?

Ronnie that's who.

Reagan INCREASED the size of the government. He INCREASED government spending by 82%

If you are a Reagan fan you are a fan of BIG government

Reagan was a Keynesian and fooled the sheep.

Trump is a HYPER Keynesian and has REALLY fooled the sheep.

Right wingers think they understand economics, when all they have demonstrated is how easily fooled they are.

"Reagan was a Keynesian and fooled the sheep. "

See.....there's the difference: you fool no one, Jack Horner.

But Ronnie sure as shit fooled you

While the ranks of the wealthy quickly multiplied, middle-class investors also entered the stock market in rapidly growing numbers. The creation by Congress in 1978 of the 401(k) tax-deferred retirement plan provided new incentives for workers to invest their savings in the stock market (often through mutual funds) rather than relying on company-funded pensions for retirement. The 401(k) led to a kind of democratization of Wall Street, as the percentage of American households owning some stake in the stock market—either directly or through mutual funds—shot quickly from 15.9% in 1983 to 29.6% in 1989.23 Thus the great bull market of the 1980s created more wealth, for more American families, than any previous boom in history.

Governement grows regardless of which party is in power. That's what you ignore.

YEah OK

He increased spending by 82% and increased the debt by 186%

And you idiots still think he was a "small government" guy

If you're a Reagan fan you love BIG government

The Dim congress held him up for ransom to get his spending on defense approved.

If you're a douchebag, you claim Reagan supported big government.

So you're saying he would have agreed to anything just so he could increase spending.

Yeah that's a small government guy alright.

REagan ran on the premise that "government is the problem"

If you really think that government is the problem there would be no way in hell you could worship Ronnie

In fact you would be calling him a RINO of the first order today.

The bottom line is that Dims are the ones who demanded more spending. Only douchebags would blame Reagan for the increase in spending.

And who signed those spending bills?

Ronnie that's who.

Who wrote them, shit for brains?

Reagan INCREASED the size of the government. He INCREASED government spending by 82%

If you are a Reagan fan you are a fan of BIG government

You're obviously a snowflake of a liberal. Reagan increased government spending, much of it on the arms build up that brought down the USSR. Is that your problem, or is it just old-fashioned butt hurt since he annihilated the American left too?

You obviously can't seem to think outside your infinitesimal pigeonhole.

You deny that Reagan INCREASED the size of government even though he said "government is the problem"? You deny that he passed large tax hikes that wiped out his tax cuts? You dent he increased spending by 82%?

He sold you a bill of goods and you fell for it hook line and sinker.

And FYI the USSR economy was in trouble before Reagan took office and was going to collapse under its own weight with or without Reagan and his spending spree

Why the USSR Collapsed Economically

While initially experiencing rapid economic growth, the Soviet command economy collapsed after it grew more complex.

www.investopedia.com

Today Reagan would be a much hated RINO

I denied nothing idiot.

So when I say what Reagan did your only retort was to call me a snowflake?

Wow you should have to get licensed because your wit is obviously a blunt but deadly instrument.

But then again you still think it was Reagan that brought down the USSR economy even though it was already on life support before Reagan was elected

You're a sleazy lying TDS moron. Why should anyone give a shit about your bogus questions?

I didn't realize this thread was about Trump?

I thought it was about Reagan

Why should anyone give a shit about your bogus questions?

Since you can't seem to answer them I guess you have to not care

Why would I answer them when they are total bullshit?

While the ranks of the wealthy quickly multiplied, middle-class investors also entered the stock market in rapidly growing numbers. The creation by Congress in 1978 of the 401(k) tax-deferred retirement plan provided new incentives for workers to invest their savings in the stock market (often through mutual funds) rather than relying on company-funded pensions for retirement. The 401(k) led to a kind of democratization of Wall Street, as the percentage of American households owning some stake in the stock market—either directly or through mutual funds—shot quickly from 15.9% in 1983 to 29.6% in 1989.23 Thus the great bull market of the 1980s created more wealth, for more American families, than any previous boom in history.

And then Reagan passed the largest peace time tax hike in history thereby wiping out any previous tax cuts.

People were paying MORE taxes not less when Reagan left office.

Reagan spent like a drunken Keynesian all while claiming that "government is the problem" and increased government spending by 82% but there are idiots here who still claim that Reagan was a small government conservative.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

We burst from the economic stagnation of the 1970s into a dynamic, innovative, high-tech-oriented economy. Even in recent years the much-maligned U.S. did well. Between year-end 2002 and year-end 2007 U.S. growth exceeded the entire size of China's economy.”

1. Under Reagan, the debt went up $1.7 trillion, from $900 billion to $2.6 trillion.
2. But….the national wealth went up $ 17 trillion
3. Reagan's near-trillion-dollar bulge in defense spending transformed the global balance of power in favor of capitalism. Spurring a stock-market, energy, venture-capital, real-estate and employment boom, the Reagan tax-rate cuts and other pro-enterprise policies added some $17 trillion to America's private-sector assets, dwarfing the trillion-dollar rise in public-sector deficits and creating 45 million net new jobs at rising wages and salaries.

George Gilder: The Real Reagan Lesson for Romney-Ryan

Wow the brainwashing is deep with you

Reagan INCREASED the size of the government. He INCREASED government spending by 82%

If you are a Reagan fan you are a fan of BIG government

You're obviously a snowflake of a liberal. Reagan increased government spending, much of it on the arms build up that brought down the USSR. Is that your problem, or is it just old-fashioned butt hurt since he annihilated the American left too?

You obviously can't seem to think outside your infinitesimal pigeonhole.

You deny that Reagan INCREASED the size of government even though he said "government is the problem"? You deny that he passed large tax hikes that wiped out his tax cuts? You dent he increased spending by 82%?

He sold you a bill of goods and you fell for it hook line and sinker.

And FYI the USSR economy was in trouble before Reagan took office and was going to collapse under its own weight with or without Reagan and his spending spree

Why the USSR Collapsed Economically

While initially experiencing rapid economic growth, the Soviet command economy collapsed after it grew more complex.

www.investopedia.com

Today Reagan would be a much hated RINO

I denied nothing idiot.

So when I say what Reagan did your only retort was to call me a snowflake?

Wow you should have to get licensed because your wit is obviously a blunt but deadly instrument.

But then again you still think it was Reagan that brought down the USSR economy even though it was already on life support before Reagan was elected

You're a sleazy lying TDS moron. Why should anyone give a shit about your bogus questions?

I didn't realize this thread was about Trump?

I thought it was about Reagan

Why should anyone give a shit about your bogus questions?

Since you can't seem to answer them I guess you have to not care

Why would I answer them when they are total bullshit?

Yeah you add nothing of value because all you have in your intellectual quiver are childish names.

REagan increased the debt by 186%

Reagan increased spending by 82%

There those are facts not questions but you keep denying it

The fact is that Reagan couldn't get any of his spending initiatives approved without approving all the Dims socialist spending boondoggles.

Your post proves nothing. You pretend like you don't understand how the budget process works.

No shit. Sad its taken almost 30 years to realize this. The man destroyed America for normal every day Americans and set it on a path for the rich and only the rich.

Best damn thread ever made in the history section.

Yes, we all suffered so under Reagan. In addition to destroying the economy some 30 years later, he caved in to the USSR and left the country more disheartened since Carter's hostage debacle...idiots. Oh yeah, worst of all is he left the left in t

Wow the brainwashing is deep with you

Reagan INCREASED the size of the government. He INCREASED government spending by 82%

If you are a Reagan fan you are a fan of BIG government

Governement grows regardless of which party is in power. That's what you ignore.

YEah OK

He increased spending by 82% and increased the debt by 186%

And you idiots still think he was a "small government" guy

If you're a Reagan fan you love BIG government

The Dim congress held him up for ransom to get his spending on defense approved.

If you're a douchebag, you claim Reagan supported big government.

So you're saying he would have agreed to anything just so he could increase spending.

Yeah that's a small government guy alright.

REagan ran on the premise that "government is the problem"

If you really think that government is the problem there would be no way in hell you could worship Ronnie

In fact you would be calling him a RINO of the first order today.

The bottom line is that Dims are the ones who demanded more spending. Only douchebags would blame Reagan for the increase in spending.

And who signed those spending bills?

Ronnie that's who.

Who wrote them, shit for brains?

Doesn't matter

if Reagan had any integrity he would have vetoed them

ALL that matters is who signs a bill into law

it's the old buck stops here rule but I see you didn't learn that at the same place you didn't learn that actions speak louder than words

No, that isn't all that matters. You're a douchebag who pretends that you don't know how the budget process works.
