Correcting the Reagan Myth

[Oldandtired]

"...is quite obviously mentally challanged..."

Oldandtired(andprobablyuninsured),

You were talkng about Reagan and there's no offense taken. I'm a Liberal, it's the Conservatives your comments will anger.

No...you are not a liberal. Liberals believe in this country...just from the left.
You hate America and 70% of its people....

Yeah and Gorby woke up one morning and suddenly decided to free Eastern Europe.

In case your wondering where PDS comes from, it started out as Reagan Derangement syndrome, which was a far milder form and then mutated very badly.

Gorby freed Eastern Europe not Ronnie Reagan. Stop flattering yourselves it's quite sickening....but too comical.

Reaganomics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now please read this chart and face reality



According to a United States Department of the Treasury economic study,[29] the major tax bills enacted under Reagan, in the short-term, significantly reduced (~-1% of GDP) government tax receipts. Separated out, however, it is clear that the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 was a massive (~-3% of GDP) decrease in revenues (the largest tax cuts ever enacted),[30] while other tax bills had neutral or, in the case of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, significant (~+1% of GDP) government revenue-enhancing effects.

LOL

Yeah, you know there's a difference between the economy and the Federal government, right? See, this is why it's so useless discussing economics with Marxists

The last time the US tried to free any country was VIETNAM. We all know what happened there.....dont we?

Gorbachev was a realist who saved the world from a third world war. He looked at the Soviet economy and realized it was unsustainable. Not because of Reagan, but because of poor economic decisions for the last 40 years.
A leader like Putin would have dug his heels in and attacked to try to sustain the Soviet Empire. Gorbachev realized they could not maintain the current empire and peacefully disolved it.
Gorbachev rightfully won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts

You mean like the facts that supported the borrowing of a trillion dollars for the stimulus?

Exactly what facts weree used for that debacle?

Japans lost decade of 8 stimuli that all failed miserably?

Where were you when Bush was making this mess and borrowing from China for wars?

This country bailed itself of this type of mess in the past and can do it again.

Stimulus was a huge part of that sucess.

Reagan did it too but handed it all over for weapons instead of infrastructure which would have served this country much better.

and exactrly where do golf courses fit into this?
I had no issue with infrastructure projects.....but exactly how much was spent on that so far?

Over $10 Billion for NY State:

Yes, your side was able to convince the American people that, even after we inflicting one of the biggest asskicking in the history of warfare at Tet, we had somehow lost. Thank God LMSM monopoly on the media is as dead as that Marxist sock puppet Cronkite

Have you ever owned a business? Have you ever worked in the private sector?

And so Bush goes over to Nam and runs around in jammies with their leaders.

I guess he always wanted to go there since he was not allowed to go with the rest of his squadron during the war..

Nope we freed kuwait.

My BIL commanded marines into Kuwait and freed the people.

LOL. I have to stand on my head to see things your way, then again, just look at your screenname.

Ironically these same clowns claiming Reagan won the Cold War are over in another thread proclaiming the need to keep ahead of Russia in the arms race.

Have you ever heard of: Iraq?

Google it, you might learn something

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Also if Soviet economics sucks, why is Obama pushing it on us?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It really burns the Marxists that Reagan kicked them out of Central American and rolled them back in Easter Europe.

Too fucking bad

Ronnie Reagan was mentally unsatable for years. He never really worked as President. He was the puppet of the Pentagon.
