Why does everyone love Reagan so much?

[Camp]

You are accusing FDR of starting a global depression four years before he became President.

Roosevelt was just a continuation of Hoover that extended the Depression another 12 years into a world war that killed 60 million. The worst record in American History by far!!

****Here's what Henry Morgenthau, FDR's Secretary of the Treasury (the man who desperately needed the New Deal to succeed as much as Roosevelt) said about the New Deal stimulus: "We have tried spending money.We are spending more than we ever have spent before and it does not work... We have never made good on our promises...I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!"


"The New Republic"( at the time a FDR greatest supporter") noted. In June 1939, the federal public works programs still supported almost 19 million people, nearly 15% of the population" [page 313]

In fact in 1939, unemployment was at 17%, and there were 11 million additional in stimulus make work welfare jobs. Today when the population is 2.5 times greater we have only 8 million unemployed. Conclusion: legislation to make Democrats illegal
is urgently needed

Same generic response you have quoted before on several occasions, and been refuted and debunked in detail. Oddly, it is the same cut and paste used by PoliticalChick and also debunked in her wacky adventures into delusion and hackery.
My data is based on demonstrable fact and accepted historical data. Your's is based on decades ago debunked partisan misinformation.
Did you know that over two dozen bridges built during the depression by FDR using what you call unemployed workers are still being used as part of the Interstate Highway System? Those are just the ones used on our most modern highway system. Hundreds are still being used on county and state highways. All built by what you insist are unemployed workers getting pay checks while you make your partisan hack silly claims of a prolonged 16 year depression of high unemployment that includes the period of WWII. The millions of military personnel were unemployed because they got government paychecks according to your concepts.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

My question is why do conservatives love Ronald Reagan when he was more liberal than than Hillary Clinton?

of course only a total idiot liberal would say Reagan was more liberal than Clinton. It is true that Reagan compromised too much with liberals to get what he wanted on foreign policy which was to, 1) defeat communism, 2) free 2 billion people, and 3) save the world from nuclear annihilation.

so you mean the New Deal was not really the Great Depression???

The facts show Reagan was a liberal we didn't have to make up a single thing to illustrate that. So that makes conservatives either loony or in serious denial. Neither did Reagan defeat Communism or free two billion people those facts are made up.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

"Why does everyone love Reagan so much?"

Certainly not ‘everyone.’

true enough liberals are disappointed that he ended cold war, freed 2 billion, and prevented nuclear war!! No surprise why they spied for Stalin and elected obama despite 3 communist parents.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

dear what you're trying to say is that domestic policy was moving left while Reagan, a conservative, was president.

Now do you understand?

Neither did Reagan defeat Communism or free two billion people those facts are made up.

A statue to former US president Ronald Reagan, who is highly respected in Poland for having helped hasten the fall of the Iron Curtain, was unveiled by Communist-era opposition icon Lech Walesa in Warsaw yesterday.




"Let us bow before Ronald Reagan for the fact that our generation was able to bring an end to the great divisions and conflicts of the world," Mr Walesa said in a ceremony in the heart of the Polish capital Warsaw.

"What happened seemed impossible or unthinkable. The older generations still remember," the Nobel Peace laureate said.

A handsome, stylized 'park bench' monument dedicated to Cold War victor Ronald Reagan was unveiled in the former Soviet republic of Georgia yesterday. The country's pro-Western, American-educated president Mikhail Saakashvili proclaimed that the work 'deserves a place in the heart of Tblisi' as he and his countrymen seek to honor Reaganfor 'destroying the Soviet empire'. He also took the opportunity to lament what he sees as Vladimir Putin's attempts torestore that lost empire.



Reagan ended the cold war and very possibly saved humanity from nuclear annihilation; 2 billion live under freedom today, who would be starving to death under the communism that Reagan understood and hated so much! The Democrats spied for Communism and wanted peaceful coexistence or detente because they lacked the IQ to understand what it really was! Without Reagan, Gorbechev would not have known what the alternative was! Reagan said, "Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wall" HIs moral clarity, the Stinger missiles that he personally gave to Afghanistan, and Star Wars (the ABM system we still desperately need today) inspired the death of the USSR !!

On the domestic front Reagan also had moral clarity! He said, "isn't welfare a form of slavery" Then "welfare as we know it" was ended. Moreover, he and Newt got 34 States to sign a Balanced Budget Amendment that would have prevented all the domestic problems we face today because of Democratic fiscal irresponsibility. Moreover, if the Balanced Budget had been passed we would no longer be plagued by the Democratic Party as we know it! IF the Democrats could no longer subvert our democracy by buying votes with promises of ever expanding welfare programs they would instantly disappear!! Further: Reagan slashed taxes from a 70% top bracket in 1981 to 28% in 1986. That resulted in 20 million jobs being created between 1983 - 1989, a doubling of the amount of revenue going into government coffers, and a wave of prosperity that America rode from 1983 until 2001 with only a small pause at the end of the George Bush Sr.'s term.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

"President Reagan's Radio Address to the Nation on Welfare Reform

February 15, 1986

My fellow Americans:

Today I'd like to speak to you about a gathering crisis in our society: It's a family crisis. To some it's hidden, concealed behind tenement walls or lost in the forgotten streets of our inner cities. But for millions of Americans, the crisis is ever present and growing, and it threatens to become a permanent scar on the American promise of hope and opportunity for all.

I'm talking about the crisis of family breakdowns, especially among the welfare poor, both black and white. In inner cities today, families, as we've always thought of them, are not even being formed. Since 1960 the percentage of babies born out of wedlock has more than doubled. And too often their mothers are only teenagers. They're children-many of them 15, 16, and 17 years old with all the responsibilities of grownups thrust upon them. The fathers of these children are often nowhere to be found. In some instances you have to go back three generations before you can find an intact family. It seems even the memory of families is in danger of becoming extinct. And what of the babies born out of wedlock, these children born to children. Statistically, we know that they're much more likely to have a low birth weight and, thus, serious health problems. We know that out-of-wedlock children often suffer abuse and neglect as well. And what sort of future can they look forward to?

The family is the most basic support system there is. For two centuries now, it's been families pulling together that has provided the courage, willpower, and sense of security that have enabled millions of Americans to escape poverty and grab hold of the rungs on the ladder of opportunity. How often have we heard about the immigrant father laboring long into the night to give his children the advantages he never had? How many self-made men and women in America of all ethnic backgrounds owe their success to the strength of character given them by hard-working, loving parents? But for the children of child mothers and absentee fathers, there is often only a deepening cycle of futility, hopelessness, and despair.

RIGHT HERE >>> We're in danger of creating a permanent culture of poverty as inescapable as any chain or bond; a second and separate America, an America of lost dreams and stunted lives. The irony is that misguided welfare programs instituted in the name of compassion have actually helped turn a shrinking problem into a national tragedy. From the 1950's on, poverty in America was declining. American society, an opportunity society, was doing its wonders. Economic growth was providing a ladder for millions to climb up out of poverty and into prosperity. In 1964 the famous War on Poverty was declared and a funny thing happened. Poverty, as measured by dependency, stopped shrinking and then actually began to grow worse. I guess you could say, poverty won the war. Poverty won in part because instead of helping the poor, government programs ruptured the bonds holding poor families together.

Perhaps the most insidious effect of welfare is its usurpation of the role of provider. In States where payments are highest, for instance, public assistance for a single mother can amount to much more than the usable income of a minimum wage job. In other words, it can pay for her to quit work. Many families are eligible for substantially higher benefits when the father is not present. What must it do to a man to know that his own children will be better off if he is never legally recognized as their father? Under existing welfare rules, a teenage girl who becomes pregnant can make herself eligible for welfare benefits that will set her up in an apartment of her own, provide medical care, and feed and clothe her. She only has to fulfill one condition-not marry or identify the father.

Obviously something is desperately wrong with our welfare system. With only about half of what is now spent on welfare, we could give enough money to every impoverished man, woman, and child to lift them above the poverty line. Instead, we spend vast amounts on a system that perpetuates poverty. But the waste of money pales before the sinful waste of human potential-the squandering of so many millions of hopes and dreams.

In my State of the Union Address, I directed our administration to study the welfare system with a keen eye to making reforms. We already have in place a low-income assistance working group, which is hard at its task. In addition, I've instructed Attorney General Edwin Meese, as Chairman pro tern of our Domestic Policy Council, to convene a working group to evaluate the effect of a wide range of government programs on American families, especially poor families. These groups will report back to me by December 1st. The welfare tragedy has gone on too long. It's time to reshape our welfare system so that it can be judged by how many Americans it makes independent of welfare.

Until next week, thanks for listening. God bless you

dear what you're trying to say is that domestic policy was moving left while Reagan, a conservative, was president.

Now do you understand?

No, you can't increase the national debt to $3 trillion, add a new government department, raise taxes seven times, hire 200,000 more federal employees and call yourself a conservative with any honesty. You guys are worshiping a lie and a fraud.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

An objective, honest, and non-partisan analysis of the Reagan years clearly indicates that they were a net negative for America.

The undermining of necessary and proper regulatory policy, the propensity of administrators to make poor decisions, and the hostility toward sound, responsible governance were but a few of the failures of the Reagan presidency.

But he didn't do that. Dickface

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

But he didn't do that.

who did it the liberals who spied for Stalin?? The liberals who were communists themselves, or the liberals who wanted peaceful coexistence. It was Reagan who told them to tear down the wall and the liberals who objected!!

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

They love him so much that statute was vandalized when someone cut off his arm.

total liberal idiot!!!!

 

[Skull Pilot]

I've said it before I'll say it again Reagan was just another big government guy even though he had you sheep believeing the opposite

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

The facts show Reagan was a liberal.

The facts show govt and nation was moving left while Reagan was president. Way too subtle for a liberal to grasp. To a stupid liberal the president is the govt and the nation

 

[Camp]

My data is based on demonstrable fact and accepted historical data. Your's is based on decades ago debunked partisan misinformation.
.

you mean Morganthau was wrong????????????????????????

*Here's what Henry Morgenthau, FDR's Secretary of the Treasury (the man who desperately needed the New Deal to succeed as much as Roosevelt) said about the New Deal stimulus: "We have tried spending money.We are spending more than we ever have spent before and it does not work... We have never made good on our promises...I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!"

The difference in priorities and the duel interpretations of unemployment have been explained to you numerous time. One system counted the workers on relief as employed and Morganthau disregarded those workers altogether and counted them as unemployed. Morgenthau was was counting as unemployed workers in factories and other private industries, even though they were building the Post Offices and bridges, schools and hospitals, etc. The Morganthau constituents wanted money to go to them instead of public work projects like those. FDR wanted the most money possible to go to actually paying workers before skimming by private industry owners took place and to see actual public benefit from the investments.
Morganthau would have preferred building a thousand obsolete aircraft for the military to create jobs to allegedly help the economy. FDR spent funds developing new and modern advanced aircraft in preparation for the coming war. Instead of putting the workers to work building obsolete aircraft he put them to work building small airports and expanding others all over the country. He knew they would be needed and the work force would be available when the time came. It worked out great, and many of the airports are still serving us today.

 

[nuhuh]

But he didn't do that.

who did it the liberals who spied for Stalin?? The liberals who were communists themselves, or the liberals who wanted peaceful coexistence. It was Reagan who told them to tear down the wall and the liberals who objected!!

Who did you think did it dummy? The Soviets caused their own downfall you need to pick up a history book and lay down the parakeet cage lining you get your information from.
