Ronald Reagan

The current "romanticizing" of Ronald Reagan is making me want to puke.
let's discuss for a moment a few of the wonderful things he brought to this country.

Disclaimer: The man took a bullet and took it in a manner beyond reproach. No one, no one deserves to be shot for their public service.

*Revolving credit interest used to be a deduction. He made it not. This was a huge, huge, huge tax increase in the middle class and the poor. No new taxes, except on the middle class and the poor.

*Reaganomics never really worked. He spent huge in the military and the whole "trickle down economics" was a joke.

* We bought into personality over substance. Persona over results. "He won the cold war"????
awesome...he outspent the soviets and forced them into bankruptcy.....

*if he were running today, he couldn't get the nomination.

* He was a horse shit actor and about the same as president.
