I'm a left leaning libertarian and while i think Reagan's positions on things like abortion and prayer in school border on authoritarianism, he was extremely good at dealing with the Soviet Union and communism in general and for that i give him credit.
Liberalism is a stench in the nostrils of God..Liberalism enslaves destroys and robs the individual of his God given right to be free.It must be eradicated.Its shackles must be removed so that all can be free.It like communism must be left on the ash heap of history
The only way to stop the Liberals and the communist agenda is vote them all out in 2012. If we shut down our schools and universities it will stop the Liberals. Since they are a breeding ground for Anti american and God. We need to focus more on our Military, and tax cuts for the wealthy and BIG OIL. Its a known fact Middle Class americans hate America and GOD. VOTE REPUBLICAN time to crush middle Class america and SAY NO TO JOB GROWTH,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I loathed every second this wrinkly old corporate whore sat in the White House on the public dime: John Kennedy, murdered; Martin Luther KIng, murdered; Bobby Kennedy, murdered; Reagan, wounded.
Damn! Guess the world ran out of talented assassins by the time the 80s rolled around, except in places such as El Salvador & Guatemala. There Reagan funded men trained at Fort Benning's School of the Americas, who totured, raped & slaughtered several hundred-thousand illiterate peasants.
Piglatinesuperstar said Texas Republican values wont uphold in California.Of course not.Texas is the fastest growing state economy and is on track to surpass California who is living up to its "utopia" of liberalism with one of the hardest hit state economy since we Obama hit office.
well its a new day and californians still managed not to wind up big losers like the rest of the country, proving that Californians have the will to "just say no" to republicants. I also want to thank and congradulate Nevadans for shooting down the hopes of bag lady Sharron Angle. We shot down the hopes of Whitman who just blew 170 million of her own money, more than what PG&E lost. Oh well. Californians also shot down Prop 23, thwarting Big oil. What would pass in Texas can only fail in Cali
but you know, that's Texas where they have all those republicans running loose with their guns and their signs saying "don't tread on me". One things' for sure, big oil wont be treading in California. We are a progressive state, that's ahead of the rest of the country in terms of technological advances. We set the bar out here and the rest of the country follows. BTW, I'd like to congradulate Ms Boxer who now has 92% precints reported, now leading 52% to 42% over republican & failed CEO Fiorina
both Texas & big oil can take their dirty initiatives and stick it where the sun don't shine. Being a progressive state we do things out here that elude republicans out in Texas & Oklahoma, Miss, Ala, places like that where republican influence holds sway, sticking names like "clean coal" on rehashed products in attempts to repackage it. We dont have that problem here while out in those southern states, where they still reminisce over Reagan they're years away from making the same changes
For future reference. To find credible facts try looking at U.S. census stats, or federal income tax levels in the 80's. With the Internet it's that much easier, yet some people still don't bother. To find good facts on Regan try reading The Age of Reagan: A History, by Sean Wilentz. Or any other non biased Reagan book by a credible historian. Or take any economics course in college, reganism usually gets covered. Alright Im done now.
Nothing wrong with my facts, pal. Maybe if you read something besides Reagan hagiographies paid for by Republicans you might learn something. Reagan didn't reduce government spending or reduce the size of government as you claim. He radically increased payroll taxes on working people and reduced income taxes on big corporations & estate taxes on trust fund babies. The silly claim that he bankrupted the USSR with his idiotic military spending is pure myth. The USSR was doomed long before Reagan.
I've read several of your comments and you've made it painfully obvious that our public school system is a complete failure. You're amongst a class of ding dongs that only looks smart until they open their mouths.
With the opening of the Soviet archives, most historians now understand that Ronald Reagan had very little to do with the fall of the USSR. That's just one of the many Myths of Reagan that Republicans have spent millions of dollars over the last 20 years trying to build.
I didn't say he ended it. But he was the president at the time and WAS responsible for the U.S. arms build up which is credited as not only causing huge amounts of debt in the U.S. but also helping to outspend and bankrupt the soviet union. Essentially winning the cold war. It was a big deal, showed that a capitalist economy was stronger than a socialist based one. These arguments are facts, while the soviet unions "archives" are notoriously "government influenced".
As for "That's just one of the many Myths of Reagan that Republicans have spent millions of dollars over the last 20 years trying to build." It's clear that you are crazy biased against republicans for some reason, and that you also believe bush hates black people and obama isn't a u.s. citizen. Spare the malarkey and you might not discredit yourself with silly statements. For some reason people think accusations and volume alone will convince a thinking human bullshit. Nice talk.
Consider that fact that communism was a real threat back then and he wasn't a stuttering pedophile looking geek like his opponent and you know why people voted for him.
Stupid republicans sucked in by his stories and social charms" ??? Really sounds like your talking about democrats and Obama. Obama being elected gives me hope... that anyone can be elected, you barely need any experience. I'm considering running.
Reduced government spending, lower taxes, smaller federal government... yeah that doesn't make any sense, I would rather have higher taxes and more government spending.
I favor tax cuts and less spending over 850 billion dollar "stimulus packages" and purchasing of private companies.
Arguably he racked up a ton of debt but he had a cold war to deal with.
P.S. Atlas shrugged is my favorite book. If you couldn't tell by my arguments :)
Reagan didn't reduce government spending or reduce the size of government. He never once submitted a balanced budget to Congress. Despite the fact that he spent forty years pontificating about fiscal responsibility and smaller government.
Reagan raised payroll taxes on working people and gave the money to the oil companies, defense contractors and trust fund babies who paid for his political career.
I don't know what you have against him but perhaps you should check your facts pal. In fact you are wrong about everything. Except that he never submitted a balanced budget to congress. I don't know what tax raises you are talking about because the Federal income tax was lowered in almost every bracket. As for giving money to the oil industry, he effectively TOOK money from the industry by removing price controls after which there was an abundance of oil. Supply/Demand takes care of the rest.
@VtechGermx lol reagan only cut taxes once then raised them like 4 or 5 times after that (just not on the rich), plus he never submittted a balanced budget and he supported amnesty,
neocons are brainwashed by the media (there's a huge think tank called reagan legacy that pours tons of money into spreading the myth and trying to get roads and schools named after him and put his face on mt rushmore, it's all a joke
@d3p3ch3mod3 basackwords moron...how old were you in 1981 and when did you start smoking dope? lay off the hooka pipe and breath some clean air..try water instead of coolade
yea i love reagan too but i just find it funny how the video title is "Let us be shy no more" when the actual quote is "Let us be shy no longer" . Just an observation...
wow, go graduate from high school first them come back and attempt to make an intelligent post. I'm sure you voted for Obama and look at his approval rating, hes a charlatan, a scam artist and a loser... so go get your GED or whatever, then come back so we educate you, because you obviously have an IQ < 25.
his approval rating is very good right now. I personally give him a c+ for effort, not results. The dems damaged themselves as soon as the words "impeachment is off the table" from nancy Peolsi
The democrats compromise too much with the enemy, the republicans. I personally want to see Bush & Cheny hang publically by their balls.
I like Obama but he gives in too much to the republicans who are against public interest. It's time for him to become our leader
@Piglatinsuperstar People also hated Jesus Christ who was without sin and harmed none and loved all. Ronald Reagan represented his values and ideas in government policy. Have you listened to their ideas with a fair and honest judgment without favoritism?
@Piglatinsuperstar The neo-conservatives like Bush are the ones who lean too far towards war. Reagan spoke in favor of peace over war many times. How can you say you know more about the Bible than I do and that I do not read my Bible when you do not know me?
becuz you compared Reagan to Jesus Christ. How ludicrous to make such a comparison. I don't even think Reagan was a GOOD President. He raised taxes on the middle class 16 times and still ran up the deficit 3x over every President before him combined. That's becuz he didnt know what he was doing! You dont raise taxes on the middle class and keep doing while at the same time keep dropping taxes on the wealthy. The #s show this was bad practce but this is what republicans do
@Piglatinsuperstar Reagan was not the same kind of republican that George Bush Sr. or Jr. became. I understand your valid objection to the Bushes and neo-conservative policies of aggressive war policy and high deficits. I still fail to understand how you believe Reagan transferred wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich. What money did the government give to the rich?
reagan was exactly the kind of republican Bush was. They are all the same. With Carter we were on the right track. Carter openly acknowledged the problems we had with foreign oil and did something about it, and even placing solar panels on white house lawn. Once Reagan took office he did away with all that and big oil was back, taking us 30 years backwards. I also am highly suspicious the way Iranian hostages were set free exactly at the moment RR's hand was placed on the Bible
so yes, they are all the same and all stand for the same thing. We know and you can never hope to fool us with your constant effort to cover up. That's why I say, the only good republican is a dead republican. out here in Cali we have no problems identifying deceptive initiatives by big corporations like PG&E or any of the big oil companies out in Texas. They may be hout spit out there in the south but out here in Cali they cant move in on us
@Piglatinsuperstar California has the highest unemployment and biggest government debt in the country compared to the other states. Are you are holding your state's economic policies up as a model for others to follow? In your mind, where does a good and prosperous small business end and at what point does it become an evil corporation? I fail to see a difference other than a corporation has more employees.
@Piglatinsuperstar After passing the Reagan tax cuts the share of income taxes paid by the top 10 percent of earners jumped significantly, climbing from 48.0 percent in 1981 to 57.2 percent in 1988. The top 1 percent saw their share of the income tax bill climb even more dramatically, from 17.6 percent in 1981 to 27.5 percent in 1988. As you can see, Reagan did not drop the tax rate for the rich as you said in your previous comment.
@Piglatinsuperstar Real economic growth averaged 3.2 percent during the Reagan years versus 2.8 percent during the Ford-Carter years and 2.1 percent during the Bush-Clinton years.
Real median family income grew by $4,000 during the Reagan period after experiencing no growth in the pre-Reagan years; it experienced a loss of almost $1,500 in the post-Reagan years.
Interest rates, inflation, and unemployment fell faster under Reagan than they did immediately before or after his presidency.
@Piglatinsuperstar The only economic variable that was worse in the Reagan period than in both the pre- and post-Reagan years was the savings rate, which fell rapidly in the 1980s. The productivity rate was higher in the pre-Reagan years but much lower in the post-Reagan years.
@Piglatinsuperstar how do you suggest a business pay higher wages without higher productivity? Government should not regulate or interfere with workers or business. The purpose of government is to enforce laws to protect individuals from harming each other and not show favoritism to business owners nor workers. The amount of pay and the agreement to work are private contract issues and if that contract is broken, the people have courts to force the offending party to make restitution.
that's government for the people BY the people. So whenever you feel like grumbling the words "big government has no right to dictate to my employer" just remember, it was THE PEOPLE that demanded fair working conditions and a fiar working wage. If you dont like the role government has here then move out to Somalia and you'll be much happier
@Piglatinsuperstar If you eliminate the private use of guns, would you allow the president to still have armed bodyguards? What about congressmen? What about mayors? What about judges? If you take away a person's ability to defend himself with a gun against criminals, you are not promoting equal justice for all unless you extend that law to include all people including police which would be absurd.
@Piglatinsuperstar You are avoiding my question. You said that bodyguards have a reason to use guns, so who, in your eyes, should get to have bodyguards with weapons? Is it all government employees? famous people? only the president and congressmen? I believe what you really want is to set up a more strict gun licensing authority to issue weapons only to those people that do not scare you.
@Piglatinsuperstar If a gun ban is passed and consequently people die as a result of not being able to defend themselves against criminals who own illegal guns, you and people like you who lobby government to ban firearms will be personally responsible for those deaths. Your guilt will not be transferred to those who pass the laws.
@Piglatinsuperstar Why are you asking me to tell you about Reagan again? What I said is still posted on the page for all to see and has not been changed or erased. If you do not believe what I posted is true, then I will look at any evidence you have that contradicts or refutes it.
you had a guy u kept bragging about and he didnt do anything for the country. he did nothing for the middle class. he never put into place worthwhile social programs like Johnson. There was no surplus under him like we had with Clinton. In fact it was Clinton that got us out from under the republican deficits.
A guy like reagan was popular becuz he had presence on camera and looked heroic, he just looked and sounded that way but underneath there was no substance. Reagan sucked the big one
@Piglatinsuperstar Reagan stopped the double digit inflation of the 1970's started by Carter's programs. Reagan defeated the Soviet Union without firing a shot. Reagan ensured the United States maintained a symbol for peace and prosperity throughout the world. Clinton was handed the United States during peace and couldn't have done wrong, but you are forgetting the trade deficit began under Clinton. Clinton strengthened the CRA and left the presidency with a recession.
Reagan republicans somehow have this false notion theat Reagan kept us safe and htat he actually defeated the Soviets without firing a shot so I should just keep my mouth shut over the fact that he raised my taxes 16 times and in so doing trippled the deficit which, as we all know, Bill Clinton erased (only to have Bush, another Republican erase our surpluses)
@Piglatinsuperstar I'm raising the BS flag on him raising taxes 16 times. It will stay up until you cite your source to this information.
I wish I could explain how our monetary system works so you could understand how Clinton was able to attain surpluses but I'll leave that aside. Bottom line is we need a fundamental change in how our banking system works before we can pay off our debts. More regulations will only make the problem worse and until people understand we will suffer.
poor Republicans; always the last to find out. You dont need me to cite sources. nowadays you can easily get that information off the internet along with how Reagan trippled the deficit. The problem is you republicans are lacking this knowlwedge b/c you never pick up the paper and educate yourselves like us more educated folks. Using the words of your President George Bush, numbers amount to nothing more than fuzzy math anyways. Right?
@Piglatinsuperstar Poor democrats making excuses because they can't find sources. You guys always assume you are right and have a whole hay day calling everyone else stupid without seeing your own ignorance just like in the movie "Idiocracy". BTW I'm not a Republican I'm an independent and have a BS in Physics. Unrelated but my current job title is "Research Scientist" and I plan on attending graduate school most likely in Engineering, physics has destroyed my life enough and I need a break.
Don't take my word for it. Reagan's budget director, David Stockman, described Reagan's tax policies as a "doomsday machine" and that it never really produced the spending cuts he kept talking about. in addition, the only one to benefit from them were the special interests, not middle America like republicans claim.
See? I told you he was only an actor
BTW, in your opinion, why was Reagan so hard nosed against unions? Doesnt he know "work union, live better"?
@Piglatinsuperstar Union's offer nice cushy jobs for people but they lead to companies down fall as employees stop caring about quality. In parts of Latin America the government heavily supports unions and as a result no one has a job. The companies there find it better to pay for overpriced automated milking machines to milk cows vs. hiring one of a vast amount of unemployed people to do the work because of government regulation.
who says that union workers dont care about their work? Is that what Ronald Reagan told you? Becuz Reagan didnt care much for the American people, much less devent earning wages. Anyone that doesnt care about their own people shouldnt be in a position of leadership. ANyone that goes around accusing their own people of doing shoddy workmanship I would describe as unloyal, and unAmerican with no faith in its own people. I suppose that you would prefer working for slave wages?
@Piglatinsuperstar Since when is it American to accept sub quality work? This country is a country of workers that don't need a fat union contract to guarantee their job because we know we don't do sub par work. What need does a society based on merit have with a 300 page union contract that add unnecessary bureaucratic rubish to our lives? I think it is you who supports poor quality work not I.
You saying Work done by Americans is inferior to what you find in China? Is that what Reagan told you? You're the one trying to complicate things with your 300 pages rubbish. Like Palin would say, it's common sense. Read the sticker: "Work union, live better"
The unions need to be revitalized especially in this day of outsourcing. Nobody said our work is sub par. YOU said it, not the rest of us hard working Americans.
Only a republican would accuse us of sub par work, thats why Republicans are not americans. Americans dont support slave labor like you. nor do we support destabilizing the middle East the way you do. We also dont support enriching the CEO's (like you). We dont support eliminating social security the way republicans are planning. Don't worry tho. It's just a matter of time before Americans come to their senses and eliminate you ignoramuses. The nerve, telling us how to run our country!
@Piglatinsuperstar I never said work done by Americans is inferior. I said as American's we don't support sub-par work. Your sticker should read "work union, sleep in break room".
congradulations on your profession in Engineering. Now if you can remember to be more demanding on the republicans to keep jobs here rather than sending them to India where all our future Engineers will be residing
You cant trust them with your concerns. They are aiming to cut Teachers jobs, and other areas such as soc security.
You know Obama is so weak he will meekly go along with them instead of putting the blame where it belongs; on the obstructionist republicans
@Piglatinsuperstar India has a population over 1.3 Billion and the majority of them are unemployed. If we companies send jobs there because we can't compete it's not necessarily bad. We gain cheaper higher quality products which saves us money and in turn allows us to form new industries. We are growing together not against each other.
If our economy collapses because of to high of taxes we will have no choice but to cut social security. A little good cutting now can prevent devastation later.
the majority of them are unemployed so like a good republican you want to do your part and make sure we give up our jobs here so that more of them can work. That's great, but as someone that will be looking for a job in the future, how does that help you? How do cheaper goods sold help the unemployed? Which is something you can expect to be
@Piglatinsuperstar Jobs don't go overseas unless we have a shortage of labor to do them here. We aren't giving up our jobs so much as increasing our productivity by employing unemployed people. Would you be having this problem if they were part of our country? The current recession wasn't caused by sending jobs overseas but by our government fiddling around with banking. Our current trade deficit isn't because we import to much but because our government promotes inflation.
@Piglatinsuperstar I've taken many Engineering classes and if I can say anything it's that they are way less rigorous. They care about practicality vs. understanding fundamental concepts. An engineer doesn't need to know exactly how the wave function describes the probability of atoms interacting and splitting electron bonds to release energy from fuel in order to power a car to make it more efficient. As far as that goes I love engineering practicality and look forward to grad school.
your attitude really disturbs Americans. Why are you such a traitor to your own people? How do you propose to create jobs especially when you show such favortism in sending jobs to China and India? And then you accuse American workers of doing mediocre work. On top of that you diss the unions becuz you dont like the thought of job stability and/or higher wages?
Its just a matter of time before we catch up to you cockroaches and stamp you out for good. We know where u stand
I just heard them again this morning! Republicans are saying they want to do away with social security to shrink the deficit.
Americans got a better solution: Lets shrink the military and raise taxes on the very welathiest Americans-lets say the top 1% in the country. They can afford to take the hit. Better them than 99% of Americans
@Piglatinsuperstar I don't have favoritism to sending jobs to India and China. I have favoritism towards keeping American business competitive globally by removing the shackles of government holding it down right now. I don't like unions because they support failure and I don't support failure. American business got around just fine without unions and it will get along fine without them. Go ask people in Latin America about job stability and unions.
@Piglatinsuperstar Yes it does translate into jobs here in the US. If it costs $100 for a candle no one will buy it. If China can make them for $1 then you can open up a shop selling candles that employs a whole host of people and businesses. We are working together to make each other richer. The government is the best way to stop this process and the economy.
Just because you don't understand my arguments doesn't make them "simple minded". The only one being simple here is you.
@Piglatinsuperstar Jobs only go overseas if we can't find people here to do them. If the government makes meaningless regulations thus raising the cost to produce here the jobs will go overseas. The alternative is the entire industry fails because there is no market at prices sufficient to support the new cost of production. There are many many arguments I can give you, but yt doesn't give me the space.
BTW I'm not a Republican and stop calling people that you don't understand stupid.
@Piglatinsuperstar Just because you don't understand my point of view doesn't make it wrong. Just because you have a preconceived notion of what people that disagree with you are like doesn't make it right. Since your all knowing what exactly do you do for a living? Just curious...
@Piglatinsuperstar In your post you said "BTW, tell me again what a great economist Reagan was." If I never told you before, why did you say "tell me again"?
@Piglatinsuperstar who controlled both houses while Reagan was President.?.The Dems..The President can't spend a dime without approval from both houses..so going by your convoluted thinking i guess we have to blame the Democrats.While we're at it..I'd rather have Reagan the actor as you call him than Obama the community organizer that soils the Oval Office right now.
remember; whatever happens the president has totake the blame. besides, raising taxes on the middle class was all reagan's idea just as dropping the corporate tax rate was also his. and congress only approved it. it's called bi-partisanship
@Piglatinsuperstar I have a full time job where I work 40 hours a week and I work overtime whenever it is available. The reason I cannot make any more money is because the government restricts my employer from paying me my normal wage and forces them to pay time and a half for hours worked over 40. Who is the government to tell me what I must earn when I am willing to work for less?
that is where you are MOST wrong! If not for government intervention and regulations, what would prevent your company or any company from lowering your wages? If not for government, there would be no floor, no minimum wage. And since when does any REAL American complain about getting paid at a higher rate for working longer hours? That too is the result of government regulation to ensure fair working conditions for us REAL Americans who dont like working for pennies
@Piglatinsuperstar If a business does not want to pay you what you believe is fair then you can either work for someone else or start your own business. People that create businesses should not be forced by government to raise wages because it is their private property created to provide for themselves and their families and to satisfy the desire of people who want to buy their goods and services.
People like you are the enemy of this country. You actually fight against higher wages for us? American workers are not slaves. How about you? If your employer offered you pennies would you take it? And if the govt stepped in to advocate on your behalf for higher pay would you actually object? I can't believe you have a real job. You come across as someone not mentally balanced and very disingenuous
Like the sticker says "work union, live better" and FUCK REAGAN!
@Piglatinsuperstar No I do not fight against higher wages, I fight for fair wages. In order for wages to be fair, you have to take both sides of the issue into account meaning the employer's desires as well as the employee's. Working for wages is voluntary service not slavery since you are free to quit anytime. The employer also is voluntarily serving the employee by striving for good working conditions and fair wages. If the govt told me they will force my job to pay me $30/hr
so like I said before, Texas, dont you ever mess with California. We lead the way and have the best and the brightest.
No Bush family out here. and while our K-12 public education lags the country, we more than make up for it with our universities, one of many reasons the rest of the country flocks to Cali. You dont see people flocking to Texas. And we DON'T vote republican!
So tell me again, how was Reaganomics a success? You seem to be struggling a bit with your reply
@Piglatinsuperstar If the govt told me they will force my job to pay me $30/hr when I am only making $10/hr and I believed that was unfair to my employer, of course I will refuse. Are you against establishing justice for all?
yeah SURRRRRE you would! You're just one huge pillar of integrity arent you?
You know I caught you in one of those typical republican snow jobs. Thank God the professional con artists didnt gain the senate. I have nothing but contempt for you and your kind
I almost forgot, you never did give an answer as to why Reagan was such a success if he a) tippled the deficit and b) raised taxes on the middleclass 16 X
Reagan is a man of sin just like the rest of us. not trying to badmouth the man, but his economic policies were nothing short of a failure. Becuz how else would you explain the fact that he trippled the deficit of every Prez before him combined? I think that's amazing. I think Reafan could take a few econ lessons from someone like Bill Clinton who actually straightened out the disasters left behind by republicans, something Bush sure couldnt manage to do
after all, Reagan was only an actor and didnt study economics. I'll admit he had presence on a stage but when it comes to giving my vote I look beyond shallow things like appearance and speech making. A man has to be QUALIFIED with the proper education and credentials. His economic policies arent taught in our high school or college texts for a reason. It also greatly disturbs me that his wife who practiced witchcraft, contacting the dead, etc, often served as his advisor. Good riddance to them!
@Piglatinsuperstar You said in your response "Reagan was only an actor and didn't study economics". This is not true. Ronald Reagan has a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Eureka College. In the 1920s, fewer than seven percent of the high school graduates in America went to college.
Reagan was just an actor and motivational speaker with looks. republicans would swoon over him becuz they didnt know better. Reagan's economic policies werent as good as the Dems, say a Bill Clinton and he proved that he disliked middle class by repeatedly raising their taxes while repeatedly dropping taxes for the top 1 %. Answer one questions for us DEMS; what's so great about him?
yeah, great at increasing deficits. Reagan never did anything for the working class but raise their taxes. how come you republicans never bring those two things up? And he was vehemently against unions and better wages for working class people. Terrible President and I say that without the slightest bit of hesitation
Warning everyone! Another troll is on this site and his name is Piglatinsuperstar. This guy has dozens of channel names so be careful. We have been trying to remove him permanently from You tube for awhile now. He's filth.
I'm a left leaning libertarian and while i think Reagan's positions on things like abortion and prayer in school border on authoritarianism, he was extremely good at dealing with the Soviet Union and communism in general and for that i give him credit.

For future reference. To find credible facts try looking at U.S. census stats, or federal income tax levels in the 80's. With the Internet it's that much easier, yet some people still don't bother. To find good facts on Regan try reading The Age of Reagan: A History, by Sean Wilentz. Or any other non biased Reagan book by a credible historian. Or take any economics course in college, reganism usually gets covered. Alright Im done now.

Nothing wrong with my facts, pal. Maybe if you read something besides Reagan hagiographies paid for by Republicans you might learn something. Reagan didn't reduce government spending or reduce the size of government as you claim. He radically increased payroll taxes on working people and reduced income taxes on big corporations & estate taxes on trust fund babies. The silly claim that he bankrupted the USSR with his idiotic military spending is pure myth. The USSR was doomed long before Reagan.

With the opening of the Soviet archives, most historians now understand that Ronald Reagan had very little to do with the fall of the USSR. That's just one of the many Myths of Reagan that Republicans have spent millions of dollars over the last 20 years trying to build.
AtlasShruggery 2 years ago
I didn't say he ended it. But he was the president at the time and WAS responsible for the U.S. arms build up which is credited as not only causing huge amounts of debt in the U.S. but also helping to outspend and bankrupt the soviet union. Essentially winning the cold war. It was a big deal, showed that a capitalist economy was stronger than a socialist based one. These arguments are facts, while the soviet unions "archives" are notoriously "government influenced".

As for "That's just one of the many Myths of Reagan that Republicans have spent millions of dollars over the last 20 years trying to build." It's clear that you are crazy biased against republicans for some reason, and that you also believe bush hates black people and obama isn't a u.s. citizen. Spare the malarkey and you might not discredit yourself with silly statements. For some reason people think accusations and volume alone will convince a thinking human bullshit. Nice talk.

Reduced government spending, lower taxes, smaller federal government... yeah that doesn't make any sense, I would rather have higher taxes and more government spending.
I favor tax cuts and less spending over 850 billion dollar "stimulus packages" and purchasing of private companies.
Arguably he racked up a ton of debt but he had a cold war to deal with.

Better check your facts there, Vtech.
Reagan didn't reduce government spending or reduce the size of government. He never once submitted a balanced budget to Congress. Despite the fact that he spent forty years pontificating about fiscal responsibility and smaller government.
Reagan raised payroll taxes on working people and gave the money to the oil companies, defense contractors and trust fund babies who paid for his political career.
Sorry, Ronald Reagan was a total fraud.
AtlasShruggery 2 years ago
I don't know what you have against him but perhaps you should check your facts pal. In fact you are wrong about everything. Except that he never submitted a balanced budget to congress. I don't know what tax raises you are talking about because the Federal income tax was lowered in almost every bracket. As for giving money to the oil industry, he effectively TOOK money from the industry by removing price controls after which there was an abundance of oil. Supply/Demand takes care of the rest.

@Piglatinsuperstar After passing the Reagan tax cuts the share of income taxes paid by the top 10 percent of earners jumped significantly, climbing from 48.0 percent in 1981 to 57.2 percent in 1988. The top 1 percent saw their share of the income tax bill climb even more dramatically, from 17.6 percent in 1981 to 27.5 percent in 1988. As you can see, Reagan did not drop the tax rate for the rich as you said in your previous comment.
Bloodstryke 1 year ago
@Piglatinsuperstar Real economic growth averaged 3.2 percent during the Reagan years versus 2.8 percent during the Ford-Carter years and 2.1 percent during the Bush-Clinton years.
Real median family income grew by $4,000 during the Reagan period after experiencing no growth in the pre-Reagan years; it experienced a loss of almost $1,500 in the post-Reagan years.
Interest rates, inflation, and unemployment fell faster under Reagan than they did immediately before or after his presidency.
Bloodstryke 1 year ago
@Piglatinsuperstar The only economic variable that was worse in the Reagan period than in both the pre- and post-Reagan years was the savings rate, which fell rapidly in the 1980s. The productivity rate was higher in the pre-Reagan years but much lower in the post-Reagan years.

@Piglatinsuperstar how do you suggest a business pay higher wages without higher productivity? Government should not regulate or interfere with workers or business. The purpose of government is to enforce laws to protect individuals from harming each other and not show favoritism to business owners nor workers. The amount of pay and the agreement to work are private contract issues and if that contract is broken, the people have courts to force the offending party to make restitution.

@Piglatinsuperstar Reagan stopped the double digit inflation of the 1970's started by Carter's programs. Reagan defeated the Soviet Union without firing a shot. Reagan ensured the United States maintained a symbol for peace and prosperity throughout the world. Clinton was handed the United States during peace and couldn't have done wrong, but you are forgetting the trade deficit began under Clinton. Clinton strengthened the CRA and left the presidency with a recession.

Don't take my word for it.

@Piglatinsuperstar Union's offer nice cushy jobs for people but they lead to companies down fall as employees stop caring about quality.

@Piglatinsuperstar India has a population over 1.3 Billion and the majority of them are unemployed. If we companies send jobs there because we can't compete it's not necessarily bad.
