Moron... not a single bill makes it to the president's without Senate approval. And Republicans controlled the Senate for 6 of Reagan's 8 years.You're a nut. Republicans controlled the Senate for 6 of Reagan's 8 years in office. And Reagan signed the bills that landed on his desk. Both parties were responsible for spending back then.Every fucking time a liberal politician (republican or democrat) gets in office, during those years, it truly ends up making the country much worse. Example, before President Reagan took over, the US had to deal with 4 years of worthless tard named Jimmy(the peanut) Carter who had gas lines miles longs because Jimmy said OIL would run out in 10 years, and you could only fill up on either odd or even days, due to your last name. Economic Malaise(the malaise factor) was created just for the crappy ex Georgia Failed Governor. Then President Reagan comes in, lowers interest rates from 39% to 15%, taxes from 95% to 39% and soon there was economic prosperity for everyone, except the poor that Jimmy created, as the poor don't get tax breaks because they don't pay taxes. Then after 8 years of greatness incomes Liberal Republican Bush 1, and he creates more government programs, goes to war with Iraq, and says, "Read my lips, no new taxes", then as a liberal, raises taxes. 4 years of liberal Republican, we get Bill Clinton(I did not have sexual relations with that woman) and in 2 years he put the largest tax burden on the US, and soon the Congress(40 years under Dems rule) changed over to Republican with Newt Gingrich bringing the contract with America, which Bill signed 7 out of 10 and the US once again, started to shape up. I am stopping here, but just as I just shown, liberals fuck it up, and conservative have to clean it up. This OP is so full of shit, I now have to clean it up.
Reagan was part right and it pains me to say that, the true words Americans should fear are not “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” but “I’m a republican and I’m here to help”. In my lifetime the republicans have helped no one but the top 10% of the population and the companies that employ them and for the most part they have done a lot of damage to them also.
Republicans plan to “improve” medicare was to pass an unfunded prescription drug bill that increased costs and cut shorter the amount of time medicare was funded for. They put more stress on the system and as expected just a few years later now they are claiming it’s a failing system and needs to be destroyed.
That is how republicans work, they pass bill claiming it’s so they can help the American people but really it’s so they can destroy something and than replace it or privatize it just a few years later.
Republicans pushed through a bill years ago that caused the post office to fund their pension for the next 75 years and they had to do it in 10 years.
Up until this point the post office was running a surplus but these new regulations not only ate the surplus but put the post office into debt. Now in 2017 republicans are using the post office being in debt as an example of why they need to pass a law that eliminates civil servant protections including the right to unionize and receive pensions.
They manufactured a crisis and now they’re running in to solve it by destroying unions, pensions and privatization.
You hear Trump lie to the willfully ignorant that Obamacare will die on it’s own, that is a lie and should be the lie of the decade.
Yes many insurance companies are pulling out of Obamacare but not because of rising costs or losing money but because of things republicans have done the last 6 years to gut the bill and because of what Donald Trump himself has been doing. They’ve put an end to some subsidies, put and end to the risk funding and not expanded medicaid in some states as expected. While republicans have not fired the death shot they have stabbed Obamacare enough to gravely wound it and insurance companies are leaving before it dies.
Of course when republicans do something and claim it’s to help people you can usually just follow the money.
When they made online poker illegal by going after the banks etc. for funding the sites they claimed it was to help people and I’m sure it had nothing to do with the millions they received from Vegas and Sheldon Adelson.
They couldn’t kill it on their own so they had to sneak it into a military funding bill and any democrats who opposed it they screamed “he hates our troops”.
That is how they work, when they know something won’t pass or that it will be unpopular they sneak it into another bill and hope no one notices.
They promote Trumpcare as a great plan meant to help people when in reality it’s just a Yuge tax cut for the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the poor and working families. But that is who republicans represent the wealthiest Americans, they’re willing to destroy the environment and destroy families or worse allow people to suffer and die just as long as the Koch brothers or the Walton family don’t have to spend an extra .10 cents.
As long as they can keep blaming the poor for the middle class not living like they used to and having the middle class and poor fight a civil war they can keep us enslaved and keep the willfully ignorant on their side.
The greatest fear of any politician is that the poor and middle class unite and take our country back, they’ve fought since the 1980’s to make sure that didn’t happen.
I'm a republican, I'm here to help
Obamacare is in real dangerAll I can say is , Republicans DONT FUCKING TOUCH OBAMACARE, let it fucking collapse on its own, then when no one has healthcare, march those Democrats out in front of the people and let the horde punish the democrats for their failure once again. Liberalism is full of good intentions, but always ends in disaster, as history always remembers.
I guess democrats moved the jobs out of Detroit. But that's not my point here.
Reagan helped us become a debtor nation and set record deficits.
We faced a depression by the time the last republican administration was in charge and republicans had control of bpth houses.
Both Clinton and Obama had to clean up major Republican messes. That is why Clinton enacted that tax increase or he economy was going to die because of Reagan and Bush 1. But let's not allow facts to stand in the way of good old fashioned republicans lying.
This was caused by republican leadership. This is where we were headed had it not been for Obama.
This is republican leadership.
No...the democrats controlled congress during Reagan's time spent more than his tax cuts brought into the government....and his tax cuts almost doubled how much money the government received ...and they still out spent it......
The problem isn't cutting taxes...the problem is democrats spending us into poverty.
Twit......where do all money bills have to originate according to congress....moron.......and who controlled the House of Representatives the entire time? Moron.
Reagan had a deal with the asshole tip o'niell.......2 dollars in cuts for each in tax raises that the democrats wanted....they lied, took the tax increase and didn't cut the spending...
It is always the spending......it is never a problem of generating revenue.
Even worse for your dementia, not a single bill became law during Reagan's 8 years without his signature.
Both parties are responsible for spending during that period. Own some personal responsibility for once in your life.
