Reagan must be the worst President the GOP had
He was President for 8 Years and had a Democratic House and had pass a lot of bills rebuilt the Military and lowered taxes.
Damn in my Civics class you needed a Democratic House and 60 votes for Reagan to pass laws.
I wonder if Mark was there watching Reagan?
I loved Reagan, but let’s tell the truth. Reagan made a deal because his top priority was to defeat the USSR and he did it. The deal was made with Tip and Foley - they got what they wanted and Reagan got what he needed and they funded it with deficit spending. That model became the new model for our government - both parties got what they wanted.
I will defend Reagan on almost anything, but he (and Tip and Foley) were the first architects of the government model we have today and it’s killing us. We bankrupted the USSR in an Arms Race and our politicians are going to bankrupt our nation using the same spending model that Reagan agreed to in the 80’s.
Nobody in D.C. has to make hard decisions anymore. There are no priorities. It truly is a chicken in every pot and the welfare state has ballooned into a 900# gorilla that will stand on our children and grandchildren. Don’t hear much talk about that from the candidates today do we?
Dang! Somebody’s got a clue!
