I agree with almost all of this with the exception of Reagan. Reagan was in an adversarial position with Congress(as opposed to Bush who had the world at his finger tips, and pissed it all away).
Reagan had to rebuild our military, as Carter had all but destroyed it. That cost plenty of money. He also cut the top individual tax rate from 70% to 28%, causing me to work 60-70 hour weeks, and making enough dough that I could have retired in 1989, at the age of 35.
Reagan made 2 promises; to slash our taxes, and stop the spread of communism. He did both. Name another POTUS who made 2 major promises, and kept them?
Sure he made mistakes. a number of them. He should have followed through on abolishing the Dept. of Education. He should never have signed amnesty, thinking that the laws would be followed. But he deserves more than 2 lines of half truths.
Try James K. Polk.
He promised to serve only one term, and he voluntarily retired after only one term.
The four goals on his agenda--including tariff reductions, the re-establishment of the "Independent Treasury System" (which was later replaced by the now-infamous Federal Reserve System), and the acquisition of California, New Mexico, and parts of the Oregon County--were all accomplished.
Ironically, he was a Democrat (from Middle Tennessee)...but a Jacksonian Democrat.
At least he didn't create any new departments, something which can't be said of Bush, Nixon, or Eisenhower.
