All in all, Reagan ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

All in all, Reagan allowed the welfare state to enlarge and the military budget to explode, causing monstrous budget deficits and government growth that dwarfs government growth under Clinton, even when Clinton had a Democratic Congress. Reagans tax cuts notwithstanding (some of which he reversed), the state grew fat and its growth will inevitably be financed through inflation or tax increases (unless the state defaults).

Reagan also bombed ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

Reagan also bombed Libya, put the "war" in War on Drugs, allowed the continuation of Selective Service registration (despite his campaign promise to end it), helped the Khmer Rouge terrorize Thailand, imposed brutal trade sanctions on Nicaragua, funded the murderous brutal Contras, sold missiles to Iran, gave assistance to Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, and lied to the American people.

That he did all ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

That he did all these things in the name of "freedom," "capitalism," "small government," and "liberty" renders his legacy, in my opinion, all the more insidious. If bad Reaganesque policies continue to have a pass because of their superficial rhetorical selling points, American liberty will have suffered, not strengthened, because of him.

Still, his rhetoric ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

Still, his rhetoric probably did bring a fair number of people around to adopting some good values. And even some of his policies such as pulling out of Lebanon after terrorists bombed the Marine base in Beirut, lifting oil price controls, continuing Carters deregulation were quite admirable, especially by todays standards.

By and large, ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

By and large, however, Reagans words are used to advance the power of the state. Many in todays War Party, previously critical of Reagans relative restraint, claim that Reagan would have approved of their pet war in Iraq, when we do not know one way or the other if that is true.

Todays champions of ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

Todays champions of neo-Reaganism invoke the legacy of a man who practiced libertarian rhetoric and carried out a predominately statist agenda, and they do it to advance an agenda even more statist than Reagans.

As much as I think ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

As much as I think certain misanthropes distort and twist Reaganism to their devious purposes, it is no surprise that the Gipper would have such a vile following. No symbol is more useful in the advocacy of empire than a respected leader who glorified freedom even as he trampled it.

As governor of ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

As governor of California and president of the United States, he enacted policies that, in the main, greatly expanded the role and size of government.
As governor, he oversaw the largest tax increase in Californian history. Democratic Governor Jerry Brown cut back the tax rate when he came to office. As president, Reagan expanded the federal government by about 90%.

Ah, but this was ... ( 2 days ago by omingura)

Ah, but this was for defense, one might protest. And defense spending, according to the conventional wisdom, doesnt count for some reason. In fact, defense spending is good for a "capitalist" economy, even though it was supposedly defense spending that brought down the Soviet economy. (I wonder if Reagans increases in Californias spending when he was governor can be attributed to a good-faith effort on his part to beat Oregon and Nevada in an arms race.)

At least I know ... ( 1 day ago by ort777)

At least I know what's being taught in school now. It didn't take long for the libs to butcher Reagan and the awesome President he was. I wonder if you've ever considered another point of view since you've spewed every liberal talking point in existence. I'm old enough to remember Nixon, Carter & Reagan and Clinton for that matter. Reagan goes down at top 10 presidents all time. How does that fit into your talking points? How do you "feel" about Clinton?

Are you aware it ... ( 1 day ago by phoenixbornagain)

Are you aware it was Bill Clinton who forced Freddie Mac to lower its' standards to lendees back in 1999? Let's get them in houses they can't afford. Typical handouts for Democrats. Bill Clinton said this himself on the Today show when Matt Lauer brought it up Thursday, 9/25/08?

Liberals (both ... ( 1 day ago by phoenixbornagain)

Liberals (both foreign and domestic) drink the blood of the unborn. In many recent televised news reports the democratic party have been found to have pentagrams on the bottoms of plates used in fund raising events. Also they have napkins with the bill of rights printed on them so they can wipe their mouths on it. Lastly the term abortion cookies is used to serve uncooked cookie dough that is cut out in the form of tiny babies is the rage.

as if that was not good enough he even does this =
-Of these 20 million new jobs:
-The average hourly wage was $10/hr.
-46.1% were over $28,048/yr, and another 46.2% were from

forget clinton how should we feel about Carter -
-During the Carter administration (1977-80), of the new jobs
created, 41,77% were under $7,012, 68.2% were in the $7,012-
$28,048/yr bracket, and 9.9% of the pre-existing jobs in the
$28,048 and up bracket were actually lost (Joint Economic
Committee, based on data from Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Department of Labor)

Thanks, Phoenix. ... ( 1 day ago by ort777)

Thanks, Phoenix. Blessings to you. You're smack on with Reagan. I remember the misery with Carter. As a young kid, I'd open my paltry savings account to see double digit interest rates thinking that was a great thing. As I grew up and learned a thing or two about economics, I realized how devistating it was on people trying to pay loans. The man was inept yet people prop him up as a voice to be heard. Obama will mirror many of his policies and people should know we've already tried that crap.

I wonder where are the socialists here stand on tobacco? Do we intervene and kill the evil big corporation (that provides jobs) or should we be prepared to bail it out (someday). Is any good socialist willing to ban the product? Do all the good socialists realize how the healthcare industry relies on the tobacco tax and all good liberals in congress wouldn't dare touch banning the product because they can't live without the tax. What a bunch of hypocrites.

What a brilliant statement. Gee, I wonder how many people choose not to have insurance and instead use that money to go out and party on the weekends. Do you mind answering that little question? And please, while you're at it, tell me how many people are DENIED healthcare?

After FDR: greatest increase in standard of living for Americans ever as well as the creation of the most popular and effective social programs in the US After Reagan: a legacy of foreign policy arrogance, broken domestic policies, and the worship of greed If we had UHC, you could party AND have healthcare!
