Ronald Reagan: Worst president ever

[bendog]

I didn't vote for him. But how is he to blame for what policies the gop stuck to when he was out of office? Blame FDR for the 70s stagflation?

Stuart Stevens has a new book out. I haven't read it, but apparently his thesis is the gop's true fault was appealing to whites to the exclusion of other races. The dems managed to win in 76, and then in 92, 96, 2008 and 12 by capturing suburbs and at least a small slice of lower earner whites.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

But he made Mere-kins feel good again. Who cares that he took the easy path as oppose to the hard path of energy independence that Carter was striving for? His policies wreaked the US Oil Exploration industry. But energy was cheap and cocaine was so abundant because of Raygun they had to market Free Base as Crack just to turn a profit(that went to the Contra Terrorist in CostaRica, thanks Ronnie).j

That's some impressive brain washing you have there.

The only brainwashing is morons like you who fall for the corporate controlled media’s version of the THIER facts sheep

All the debt was on the books when Bush left office.
Durr.

And Iraq contained WMD.

durr durr DURR.

Durr.

So, what's your point? I didn't vote for Bill ; & Hillary... along with the rest of Congress were fed a bunch of bullshit intel from the powers that be via Colon Powell. But once it was discovered there weren't any WMD... after all the inspectors were saying that over, & over, & OVER---- I blame each & every one of them for continuing to 'stay the course' & that it wasn't about WMD at all, but for oil, Halliburton, & revenge for daddy Bush. WE should have stayed & concentrated all our efforts where they belonged. Afghanistan.

Bush had no inclination to really find Bin Laden & most of our resources were diverted to a lie. March, 2002 - a mere 6 months after 9/11.













derr....... derrr DERRRRRRR DERRRRRR DER.

So, what's your point?

He wasn't alone in that belief.

There weren't any WMD when Bush said there was. Whether there were when Clinton was POTUS doesn't mean squat since we didn't invade & wasting precious resources & troops' lives. THAT's the point.

Republicans will defend the undefendible till the cows come home. You have to forgive them considering fox news is their bible and source of knowledge.

Indeed,could not have said better myself.plus they always fall for the corporate controlled news narrative they always spin instead of looking at the facts.

A shtload of that debt were 2 wars that were accounted for off the books b4 Obama took office.

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

“As inflation came down and as more and more of the tax cuts from the 1981 Act went into effect, the economic began a strong and sustained pattern of growth.” http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/taxes/ustax.shtml

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)

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.

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

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.

Another brainwashed sheep who believes the corporate media that Reagan was against big government,comedy gold,hee hee.

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

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

The sad brainwashed Reaganut lovers Have ALWAYS changed the subject when they can’t refute facts of Reagan’s corruption,first it was obama when he was president now trump,these zombie trolls kill me,lol

Opinions don’t measure up to facts and there are too many that I have been made I have listed over the years that prove Reagan ran the most corrupt administration ever that nobody has been able to refute and then as a result,go into name calling and change the subject to Obama,I get sick of posting them when arrogant ***** like You and crusader retard ignore this facts and pretend I did not post them so I don’t even bother with brainwashed zombies anymore,why post them just to watch you all troll and ignore them as you always do.Jesus Christ.

crusader retard and meathead idiot are the worst of them all,they go into meltdown mode taking it personal they can’t counter facts knowing they can hide behind the computer and ignore them,since jerks like you can never admit you are wrong and have to cowardly hide behind the computer,it makes no sense posting them since I just end up having to repeat the same thing over and over again sense the facts go ignored,Jesus christ grow up.

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

You are making wayyyy too much sense for the Reaganut lovers to comprehend.lol

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

But Ronnie sure as shit fooled you

Funny how the U.S. coin mint fiddled with the penny and the quarter and the nickle in the last quarter century but they didn't touch the dime. Americans have had to look at the image of a president who incarcerated American citizens in concentration camps on the ten cent piece because democrats ran the Country for the last 70 years.

Opinions don’t measure up to facts and there are too many that I have been made I have listed over the years that prove Reagan ran the most corrupt administration ever that nobody has been able to refute and then as a result,go into name calling and change the subject to Obama,I get sick of posting them when arrogant ***** like You and crusader retard ignore this facts and pretend I did not post them so I don’t even bother with brainwashed zombies anymore,why post them just to watch you all troll and ignore them as you always do.Jesus Christ.

crusader retard and meathead idiot are the worst of them all,they go into meltdown mode taking it personal they can’t counter facts knowing they can hide behind the computer and ignore them,since jerks like you can never admit you are wrong and have to cowardly hide behind the computer,it makes no sense posting them since I just end up having to repeat the same thing over and over again sense the facts go ignored,Jesus christ grow up.

But if you ARE going to complain about name calling, you had better not engage in it yourself.

You realize that absolutely everyone on this thread now, is just flat out laughing at you.

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.

Naw, man. tRump's got that one locked up.

Funny how the U.S. coin mint fiddled with the penny and the quarter and the nickle in the last quarter century but they didn't touch the dime. Americans have had to look at the image of a president who incarcerated American citizens in concentration camps on the ten cent piece because democrats ran the Country for the last 70 years. It's time to put Reagan on the dime and shitcan FDR.

No sheep,it’s time YOU stop ignoring the facts that he ran the most corrupt admistration ever at the time than any other president except Nixon of course,you could flip a coin on which one of those traiters was more evil. The ONLY thing this troll got correct is that FDR was evil and corrupt as well and Does need to be removed from the Dime,if this troll wants a Republican on the dime so much then make it Calvin Coolidge,our last great REPUBLICAN president we had.

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

“As inflation came down and as more and more of the tax cuts from the 1981 Act went into effect, the economic began a strong and sustained pattern of growth.” http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/taxes/ustax.shtml

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.”

How Capitalism Will Save Us

If sensible rescue efforts continue--and they will--the immediate crisis will quickly pass.

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

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.

Another brainwashed sheep who believes the corporate media that Reagan was against big government,comedy gold,hee hee.

He said he was against it many times. Who should I believe: him or you?

Nah, stupid people have been claiming he was terrible since he was first elected. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now, and you are wrong with them.

You obviously have never read the posts of meathead and crusader retard Or political chic a poster EVERYBODY at usmb laughs at everyday in her obvious biased and non objective posts on republicans in Reagan discussions from the past how they always got into name calling when they could not refute my facts and always ignored them.

It’s always been my experience with every Reaganut worshipper in the past they lie all the time and evade facts so I don’t even bother with trolls like them,when I see the day when one of them is mature To acknowledge they have been brainwashed by the corporate controlled And can admit they have been proven wrong,then I will discuss it with them,not till then though which will never happen sense you guys cowardly hide behind computers and evade facts ignoring his corruption.

You just told lie after lie my facts on Reagan are opinions and as well told the biggest lie everybody is laughing at me when the positive alerts I have been given on this thread state otherwise,you have just proven like all Reagan lovers you LIE when you can’t refute facts so if anything,everybody is laughing at YOU.

Get someone else to tell your lies to,you dismiss facts as opinions and then lie about me So just like all Reaganut lovers always do,you lose your credibility same as them.

Enjoy your trolling,I’m done with your lies.the only thing you said truthful in this BS post of yours was that I engaged in name calling which I admit I should not have done but again,that’s because people like crusader retard and meathead and political chic have always blatantly ignored facts on his corruption that proved them wrong and engaged in name calling when they could not refute ithe facts ignoring themand that has always been my experience here.hard to believe that you are any different either the fact you lied so many times in this post saying my facts were opinions.

Again maybe someone else will address your lies but I am done with you.
Keep dreaming you dissected me,as I said,the only thing you told truthful of me that you can claim you DID dissect is the fact I should not have stopped to the same level that pc,meathead,toddsterparrot and crusader retard always have done in the past,get into name calling.that I admit was dumb on my part to stoop to,the same childish level THEY always do when they can’t refute facts on the lies of the corporate controlled media on their their here Reagan how corrupt he was
