For one thing, decades of rhetoric about waste in Washington—one of Reagan’s favorite talking points—have skewed voter perceptions. “People think that there are a lot of ways to end fraud that would help balance the budget,” Nyhan says. Forty-nine per cent of those surveyed in a 2013 Fox News poll agreed that cutting “waste and fraud” could eliminate the national debt. In addition, voters have a poor sense of how government money is spent. When Trump says that he wants to close the Department of Education and the E.P.A., it might sound like a big saving. Yet their combined budgets amount to a small fraction of his proposed tax cut. Likewise with foreign aid: polls show that Americans think as much as a quarter of the federal budget goes to other countries, when it’s actually less than one per cent of total spending.

The Republicans learned from Reagan that a HUGE LIE can be forgiven if your party keeps telling the work how wonderful a President that you were, as the GOP does Reagan. Now, all the GOP hopefuls, especially the fraud Phrump, have also taken to heart the Great Reagan Lie.

The other fact that the article points out in that FOX news viewers are very to fool. They believe most anything FOX swears is true.

Is that the best response that you have? Yes, he talked about waste and fraud and then told America that eliminating it would remove the national debt. Then he turned and tripled it. THE REAGAN LIE!

Carter was an idiot; even Obama would have looked good following him...............until about year two!!!

The Ronald was a GREAT pres; it's why the left are so set on rewriting History!!! And frankly the only decent thing Bill did was chase skirt and leave the running of the country to those with a few brains. Even then he managed to fuck up the Tech and Housing industries.

In those days it might well have done so. The debt was so much smaller then. But hey; shit happens. There was nothing unaffordable about Reagan's debt levels. The BIG DEBT happened under the Clinton Recession of 2001 and Obama thereafter. Bush was doing a damn good job bringing the deficits down until the idiots Reid and Pelosi in 2006!!! And who can forget that jerk Frank!!??

And you diss Reagan?? lmao. That's just LEFTY FOR CLUELESS!!!!!!!!!

Reagan had the Soviets to deal with and spent a lot of money building up our military forcing them to eventually go broke trying to keep up with us in military weaponry/ technology and economically. It was something that had to be done in order to defeat communism and in the end, he was successful.

You seem to miss an important point. Getting the fed govt out of our live isn't about trying to balance the budget, it's about getting the fed govt out of our lives. The dept of edec in many peoples opinion does more harm than good. Our education system was better with local control. The left seems to think all solutions reside in washington, many of us know better.

They will never forgive Reagan for defeating their home team, the USSR

What a pity so few Soviets paid the Ultimate Price for their attack on Civilisation. They were merely a Secular isis with Western Acolytes Stalin referred to as "Useful idiots". They are still around of course, the scum!!

The best response I have is you are a fucking hypocritical piece of shit pawn. You are nothing. If only you were flushed, swallowed or wiped off your mothers chest with a damp cloth.

We would have all been better off. Especially me, since I would not need to read your utter fucking bullshit.

Now, go fucking vote for hillary as you attempt to call republicans corrupt.

How is that for a response you fucking loser?

Gee, I must be hurting your saintly impression of Reagan....

 

[JimH52]

Okay. let's talk numbers...

Which President Added Most to the U.S. Debt?

Reagan increased the national debt 186% from the level that Carter left him
GW Bush increased the national debt 101% from the level that Clinton left him
Obama has increased the national debt 55.4%

So the Republicans talk a good game, but they increase the national debt even more than a Democratic administration. And many of us are still struggling to recover from the mess that GW left us.

You still around? I thought I told you to go fuck yourself. You piece of ignorant hypocritical shit.

You have been utterly crushed in this thread that you started. Then again, you are fucking crushed in every fucking thread you start.

It is unreal. Each thread you start and every post you make is dumber than the one before.

You think I am exaggerating? I have rarely seen a fucking pathetic left wing pawn like you get so utterly crushed in a thread they start the way you are getting crushed in this one.

Yet you keep posting.

What a fucking hypocrite. What a fucking loser.

Now watch him (Reagan) debate immigration with George Bush the first...

The left is rewriting history? You should look up the "Reagan Legacy Project" and why the "tax cutter" raised taxes 7 times.

You're tarnishing the reverent image conservatives have of the brain addled buffoon......who took guidance from his wife who took guidance from a fortune teller.....need anyone say more?

Yikes!


WASHINGTON, May 3— President Reagan and his wife, Nancy, are both deeply interested in astrology, the White House spokesman, Marlin Fitzwater, said today, and two former White House officials said Mrs. Reagan's concerns had influenced the scheduling of important events.

A California astrologer said she had been consulted by the Reagans regarding key White House decisions, but Mr. Reagan said astrology had not influenced policy.
