@don417 I most certainly remember the Carter years. It was he who unleashed Reagan upon us. Had he bombed Tehran, and killed thousands of Iranians, he would have easily won re-election. Instead, he worried about the 53 hostages. Most presidents would have sacrificed them. We know Reagan, Clinton, Obama, and the Bush family would have gladly traded the hostage's lives for a second term. Carter taught every subsequent president a lesson. Carter's kind heartedness allowed Reagan to take power.
@don41 241 Marines died in Beirut in 1983. No president but Reagan would have allowed that horror to go unpunished. Terrible, train-wreck, dishonorable scum as president. While my father and six of my uncles went to Europe and the Pacific in WWII, Reagan fought the battle of Hollywood. Good actor, bad person, worse president...
Instead of, now 49.5% of Americans who don't pay a dime of federal income tax, it should be 100% of Americans who pay no income tax as that is a private contract between you and your employer. The government should be reduced to meet revenues not the other way around.
Reagan ushered in bloated government and huge debts ,a trend that went unchecked until bill clinton was able to regain control. Then dimwit bush 2 put us right back in the hole.
@Partyreptilian You guys have to realize that as far as debt goes it is very difficult for a president to have a positive impact.

Deficit & debt are both now at the highest percentage of GDP since the 40s; as % of GDP, average deficits in Obama’s FIRST TWO fiscal years will be more than three times higher than the average deficit during the Great Depression. Oblahblah is no fan of defense, so don't blame it on that.

@shabeki Because my taxes were lower, I had a job, so did my family and neighbors, and we actually had a president whose past we knew about, not someone hiding secrets and who fosters government dependence. Does that answer your question?
@spideraxis Nope. What secrets being hid are you talking about? Are you one of those birther idiots? Reagan caused a recession in the early 90's which his successor Bush was blamed for.
@shabeki Secrets such as where he was raised, his faith, his education. I know more people unemployed now than when Reagan was pres. There are way more people now depending on government than during Reagan's terms. I'm not a "birther", but would rather be than the idiots who put Obama in office and accelerating this country's downfall into socialism, dependence and bankruptcy. The debt, by the way, is higher now and the burden on each of us more than during Bush's term.
@spideraxis All of that is public knowledge. If you still don't know about it, then you're a complete fucking idiot. This whisper campaign you birthers are engaging in is only going to drive his re-election. Every time you open your mouths and spew lies about the President's personal facts, you show just how racist and bigoted you are.
By the way, you don't seem to know what socialism is. Unemployment under Obama is at its lowest in years. It went up and down during his term (just like Reagan's
@shabeki Yeah, my taxes have never been higher, nor unemployment here been more. Or have there ever been more people on gov't. assistance. The fucking idiots are those who support Obama and are running this country to ruin. But the socialism point has a good side. Eventually, the government runs out of other people's money. In time, those who depend upon government have to actually work.
@spideraxis Well, it's not Obama's fault your corner of America is getting higher than average unemployment while the rest of the country is doing well. Blame your local government for that. Of course, the right-wing facists are so busy trying to attack him for various things from this own fuck-ups to Obama's personal life that they just look more and more like fucking idiots with anger management issues.
I'm thankful the GOP is so clueless about how to attack the mess they created for Obama.
@shabeki Anyone who responds with nothing but vulgarity, attacks and names is the idiot. As long as you blame Bush without looking at the big government spender in office now, you'll never see the truth. One thing you are right about is the unemployment in my local area. All but one in office are big government and social spending liberal Democrats. Their policies have raised taxes, caused companies to flee, created dependency, and done zilch about illegal immigration.
@spideraxis Anyone who gets upset at a vulgarity on the internet is a pussy.
Look, we already know you're a racist and a conspiracy theory nut. You think Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya. So you're not very bright. We get that. But you're dishonest to claim that unemployment is higher everywhere else. My area is run by Democrats and yet unemployment is lower, as it is in general in America. So that's another hole in your logic.
The reality is that your hatred of Obama is out of hand.
@shabeki Who is this "we"?. Mind your own business, judge not lest you be judges. You are so darn ignorant, good for nothing more than landfill and sewage. Go ahead, reply, I won't open, have no time for anyone whose demeanor and way of debating is names calling, vulgarity and ignorance. Those are the means of the ignorant; educated people argue with facts.
@shabeki "it's not Obama's fault your corner of America is getting higher than average unemployment while the rest of the country is doing well" Doing well? Average unemployment under Obama is 9.3%. Under Reagan, it fell from 7.5% at inauguration to 5.4% in January 1989. Obama's deficit has averaged 9.3% of GDP, the highest since the 1940s. How is that "doing well?"
@shabeki "Unemployment under Obama is at its lowest in years." Totally incorrect. The January 2012 figure was 8.3%, the highest since December 1983. (Source is the Bureau of Labor Statistics.) His average is 9.3%, the highest of any administration since the 1930s. Moreover, the true current figure is higher than 8.3%, as large numbers of workers have given up looking.
@TOLTECAAZTECA At one point in his life, Reagan was an actor in Hollywood but his films were NOT degenerate. He was also a lifeguard, a sports caster, a soldier, a guild president, a TV host, California governor and eventually President of the United States for 8 years.
You're from Mexico which is anything but decent. Mexico is one of the most INDECENT, corrupt, violent countries on Earth. Even the water is unfit to drink.
@TheSpiritOfTheTimes How come it worked so well under Reagan? Bush is a failure, HIS free market didn't work. If we can get someone like Reagan in office, we're in great shape. So back off you liberal!
Why are people responding to my observation so clueless? Yes, of course, there are speechwriters for other Republicans and Democrats. No kidding. From what I'm told, the famous "You're no Jack Kennedy" line was also scripted.
So let's not pretend failed actor Ronnie Reagan ad libbed this unremarkable line.
@dashrirprock So Dash, are you saying he had advanced notice of the question? Or are you saying that you had personal insight to the Reagan re-election campaign? Neither? I What you mean to tell us is that you're a bleeding heart - teleprompter loving liberal that hates honest political discussion because you always lose? That's what I thought.
Are all of you incurably naive? What does the current president have to do with the topic at hand?
There's preparation before every debate, and Reagan's team knew this was a high-probability question. The notion that this was a flash of wit is ridiculous.
@dashrirprock Man, you really hate the fact that he said something funny. Whether it was planned or not. Geez. Get a life. It is funny. Live with it, and have some fun, and enjoy the sunshine and laughter, dude.
@cesar1963able Says the guy who pouted: "They ALL have canned lines. They ALL DEMS and REPS have minions writing this S###. It's not just Reagan."
I don't "hate the fact he said something funny". See my original comment. People are jizzing over a canned line. Stupid people. The kind of people who would help elect a failed actor...
@dashrirprock "People are jizzing over a canned line." Do you have proof it was canned? Reagan personally contributed to more of his speeches than most modern presidents. In addition, he wrote the majority of his over 1,000 radio addresses himself, as well as his own first inaugural. Calling him "a failed actor" ignores his terms as Governor of California & his leadership of the Screen Actors Guild. He was very well read and way more intelligent than the liberal nihilists will ever acknowledge.
Its a great punch line. But as I explained to a young man that wasn't around then... "If I took out a $10,000 credit card in your name, and slowly gave you $5,800, you would feel great, right? He said, "sure!" I continued... "But then 30 days after I leave you get a bill for $10,800, how would you feel then?" He said, "Robbed!" I said, "Thats Reaganomics." Thus began the USA 30 year decline.
The President who traded arms for hostages, didn't even mention the word "AIDS" till his 2nd term as president, and raised taxes 11 times... sounds like a socialist to me LOLOL
Part of the reason we're in debt is because 47 PERCENT of Americans pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX. NONE.
And when a country is stupid enough to tolerate ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and not cut back legal immigration when unemployment is high, that's suicidal for a nation.
IMO., illegals should be completely cut off of tax supported aid - no welfare, no food stamps, no medical care, no education in our schools, no seats in our colleges.
@S955US84 There never used to be anything wrong with any sort of immigration at all, legal or not, but you're right when you say that illegal immigrants should not be given access to all sorts of entitlements if they're not contributing towards them. Conversely though, if they do not get access to any entitlements for free, they should not have to pay taxes, or have their legal status be an issue with finding a job. Too bad citizens would still be forced to pay taxes :(
Reagan was badass. The last great president. He loved and understood America and its true values, and was willing to defend it. Since then, this great republic has moved closer and closer to socialism. When it reaches that point it will cease to be America.
Mondale's loss can be traced back to him laughing at Reagan's comment. Up until then, polls showed that Mondale had a chance. A poll 3 days later (think it was AP), the first poll taken after the debate, showed Mondale starting to slip, and he just kept slipping.
Excellent. What a brilliant man. Reagan was the last true patriot to serve in the White House. I hope others equally as brilliant will follow him soon, but I have my doubts. I've seen nothing but a succession of idiots in the oval office since 1988... Obama is the worst yet... surely the United States must have another Reagan out there somewhere? At least that's my prayer... What have we had since President Reagan? A disturbing sequence of morons, weaklings and socialists... Sad.
@S955US84 That and being senile while in office, running the national debt through the roof, and using the bigotry, racism and homophobia of the Christian Right to get into power.
@gl797 Congrats. You clicked on my profile and discovered that I like playing video games, you are a true Renaissance man. But what's too complicated for me to understand? That Reagan's deregulation policy caused the 2008 bubble. That since Reagan the cost of living has increased while minimum wage has barely changed. That since his administration income inequality has risen while the middle class has disappeared. Or maybe it's the fact that he funded the taliban. Your right I don't get it.
gee thats funny......i was middle class and worked and i dont remember any shit storm...guess one of us must be from another dimension...where some shart stain has the magical ability to speak for millions of people.
Reagan was great.....if you were an upper class wealthy family in the upper north side. It was a shit storm for middle class and lower class workers at the time. If you think Obama is really that bad than you need a reality check and look back to the GWB presidency and see what a shit filled hole he put out country in.
Good line. I'm sure he drew on his years of experience as a tough roughnecking cowboy, and steel nerved soldier/sailor during his vacation I mean presidency.
@suprflcn How about rich black people or rich Japanese, Mexican and Chinese? My middle class family made it on my father's income. Things were better off then because we had a leader and not a bull shitter.
@suprflcn, I think it's very sad that you don't have enough intelligence to know the difference between a great president (Reagan) and the worst president we've ever had (obama). Maybe one day your mind will mature beyond it's current juvenile state.
I'll bet your family is looking forward to the day your mind matures beyond that of a preteen.
@Happyman1959 Obama the worst? That is the whitest thing I have ever heard. Have you heard of Andrew Jackson? Herbert Hoover? Harding? Nixon? If you think Obama is the worst president of all time then you need to read a fucking book.
@suprflcn Not to mention Bush 43. Obama inherited a shitstorm and has done the best he could with it. I'm sure he'll get re-elected too. Romney is an idiot, lol.
@TheWolverine4life So you consider the President who has increased the national debt more than all the other Presidents combined okay? Last time I checked, if you are in debt you don't add to it. You find what you can trim or cut out and live within your means.
@HaloJedi007 hhaha you should check YOUR "FACTS." cause they aren't facts. It's more like 3 trillion under obama. starting at 12.3 trillion in his first budget to 15.1 trillion now. ps Reagan DID triple the national debt ;D #fact
@JohnQRandom lol, no... Reagan didn't "send" anyone into bankruptcy. you people act like he just called the russians up and was like "hey... you are noW bankrupt." he just happened to be president right around the time of their decline. JESUS PEOPLE LEARN SOME HISTORY.
@grnbbllntrck Revisionism at its finest. The Soviets went bankrupt in part mostly in trying to keep up with our military buildup under Reagan. Yes, communism is an unsustainable system, but Reagan hurried their demise. Also he was one of the few voices out there who said that we could win the Cold War instead of simply trying to contain the Soviets.
@HaloJedi007 This is an incredibly misleading "fact" you are posting, because from the looks of it, you are implying that it took us 228 years to rack up debt equivalent to Obama which is as far from fact as you can get.
When President Obama was elected, his economic team released a report on the problem. If nothing was done, the report said, the unemployment rate would keep rising, reaching 9 percent in early 2010. But if a fiscal stimulus of $775 billion mainly in the form of increased government spending was passed, the unemployment rate was predicted to stay under 8 percent. The Congress passed the package. Yet things turned out even worse. The unemployment rate has reached 10 percent by Dez/2009.
@vigorousAtheist, Obama expected that the unemployment rate would reach 9% in early 2010 if nothing was done. It turned out that the rate reached 10% by that time despite the huge amount of public money spent. Today, three years later, Obama managed to add 6 trillion dollar to the national debt and the rate is even higher than when he took office (7,8% then and 8,3% now). So, thanks to his failed policies, the US are on the road to Greece. He should have cut taxes instead of increasing spending.
And yet now our unemployment rate is down to 8.3% the lowest it's been since before the recession. AND our GDP has been growing faster than before the recession.
And the rate is higher since before Obama took office because the recession hadn't hit yet.
You must be one blind follower of Keynes. Many recent studies indicate that, unlike Keynes predicted, tax cuts have a much higher potential to raise GDP than spending increase.
Christina D. Romer, the chairwoman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers in work with her husband found that each dollar of tax cuts has historically raised G.D.P. by about $3. That is far greater than most estimates of the effects of government spending ($1.5).
@vigorousAtheist Have you read what I have written? Christina D. Romer, the chairwoman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers in work with her husband found that each dollar of tax cuts has historically raised G.D.P. by about $3. That is far greater than most estimates of the effects of government spending. SHE IS OBAMAS' ADVISER. She is not republican! What a pity Obama does not act based upon her conclusions. Her paper is "A NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF POSTWAR TAX CHANGES".
The guy on the video you posted is an IDIOT! The fact is the more entrepreneurs profits the more they invest, then the economy grows and more jobs are created. That is the way economy works.
@vigorousAtheist If you check out the data, you will find that the Bush Tax Cuts had very little impact on revenues. The problem is that spending increased at a pace that revenues did not keep up with. As such, with no further considerations, it would be just as valid to say that taxes need to go up as it is to say that spending needs to go down. However, it is clear that spending should go down, based on the burden that increased spending puts on the people.
Hahaha i can send you sources and urls that would destroy that statement. The goal is to spend enough to get the economy going, so that the PERCENT of debt goes down.
And again, many of the expenditures were to fix the republican's mistakes.
And no, it is clear that our economy relies on spending, so TAXES for the rich should go up.
And leave it to a conservative to compare a completely communist economic system to ours...
@vigorousAtheist Go ahead and send me sources. Please also prove your "to fix the republicans' mistakes" assertion. Please do not confuse government spending for consumer spending. The economy depends only on consumer spending, government spending is always a loss. The proof of this argument is if the government could still provide the exact same services as today, but somehow we could magically tweak the tax rates anywhere between 0% and 100%, well then we'd all be better off with them being 0%
Leave it to a socialist to claim that our corporatist socialist system is anything at all like a free market capitalist system. Also leave it to a socialist to claim that government meddling in the USSR for the purposes of equalizing the distribution of wealth is nothing like what they themselves are advocating, or that the Nth time communism is tried, it will magically NOT be co-opted by dictators.
@vigorousAtheist The data does not support your assertion that the bush tax cuts destroyed the economy. The data is readily available, go ahead and check out the change to government revenues that resulted due to the tax cuts, and then go ahead and check out the rate that spending was increasing at, before and after the bush tax cuts. If I'm wrong, it should be easy for you to prove, so go ahead and take a look please, for both our sakes.
The Bush tax cuts were followed by low GDP growth, negative median wage growth, and little job growth. Even before the Great Recession, growth in the Bush business cycle was the weakest since World War II. And the cuts cost about $2.6 trillion between 2001 and 2010, according to the Economic Policy Institute—adding to a debt future generations of taxpayers will pay for, plus interest.
@vigorousAtheist Regarding the Bush Tax Cuts, CBO data proves that tax revenues in 2007 were actually much higher than in 2001. Lowering taxes does not automatically mean revenues are decreased. What this means is that infact, is that tax revenue did not go down to cause this debt, but infact expenses went up to cause it.
Source: Wikipedia: Google this: "Federal_individual_income_tax_receipts_2000-2009.png"
@vigorousAtheist You are a COMPLETE moron. The Bush tax cuts DID increase GDP. They also put more Americans to work after Clinton's recession. Bush had the GREATEST job growth since Ronald Reagan untill the Democrats took controll of congress. If you don't atleast know this, it's a wonder why you're posting here at all. You look completely stupid.
@andrevcm3@vigorousAtheist what both of you need to consider is that at the fall of the USSR, unemployment was at 1%, so this is an irrelevant figure entirely. What is relevant is whether government or business or any other entities' budgets are sustainable or not. If they are not, they will inevitably collapse. Measures must be taken to avoid a collapse if people's lives are on the line. If the trend is that spending is going up, taxes can only be raised so high, so eventually you need to cut.
@TheWolverine4life Last time I checked, Regan was the one who signed all those executive orders, that eventually would give power to Bush and Obama. History makes him look awesome because of the Cold War ending. Have you not noticed how progressively worse it has been since LBJ? They set up the powers for future presidents to abuse/use. Reagan is a traitor like the rest.

@shabeki Yeah, my taxes have never been higher, nor unemployment here been more. Or have there ever been more people on gov't. assistance. The fucking idiots are those who support Obama and are running this country to ruin. But the socialism point has a good side. Eventually, the government runs out of other people's money. In time, those who depend upon government have to actually work.

@spideraxis Well, it's not Obama's fault your corner of America is getting higher than average unemployment while the rest of the country is doing well. Blame your local government for that. Of course, the right-wing facists are so busy trying to attack him for various things from this own fuck-ups to Obama's personal life that they just look more and more like fucking idiots with anger management issues.
I'm thankful the GOP is so clueless about how to attack the mess they created for Obama.

@shabeki Anyone who responds with nothing but vulgarity, attacks and names is the idiot. As long as you blame Bush without looking at the big government spender in office now, you'll never see the truth. One thing you are right about is the unemployment in my local area. All but one in office are big government and social spending liberal Democrats. Their policies have raised taxes, caused companies to flee, created dependency, and done zilch about illegal immigration.

@spideraxis Anyone who gets upset at a vulgarity on the internet is a pussy.
Look, we already know you're a racist and a conspiracy theory nut. You think Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya. So you're not very bright. We get that. But you're dishonest to claim that unemployment is higher everywhere else. My area is run by Democrats and yet unemployment is lower, as it is in general in America. So that's another hole in your logic.
The reality is that your hatred of Obama is out of hand.

@shabeki "it's not Obama's fault your corner of America is getting higher than average unemployment while the rest of the country is doing well" Doing well? Average unemployment under Obama is 9.3%. Under Reagan, it fell from 7.5% at inauguration to 5.4% in January 1989. Obama's deficit has averaged 9.3% of GDP, the highest since the 1940s. How is that "doing well?"

@shabeki "Unemployment under Obama is at its lowest in years." Totally incorrect. The January 2012 figure was 8.3%, the highest since December 1983. (Source is the Bureau of Labor Statistics.) His average is 9.3%, the highest of any administration since the 1930s. Moreover, the true current figure is higher than 8.3%, as large numbers of workers have given up looking.

Part of the reason we're in debt is because 47 PERCENT of Americans pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX. NONE.
And when a country is stupid enough to tolerate ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and not cut back legal immigration when unemployment is high, that's suicidal for a nation.
IMO., illegals should be completely cut off of tax supported aid - no welfare, no food stamps, no medical care, no education in our schools, no seats in our colleges.
Self-deportation will begin.

@S955US84 There never used to be anything wrong with any sort of immigration at all, legal or not, but you're right when you say that illegal immigrants should not be given access to all sorts of entitlements if they're not contributing towards them. Conversely though, if they do not get access to any entitlements for free, they should not have to pay taxes, or have their legal status be an issue with finding a job.

When President Obama was elected, his economic team released a report on the problem. If nothing was done, the report said, the unemployment rate would keep rising, reaching 9 percent in early 2010. But if a fiscal stimulus of $775 billion mainly in the form of increased government spending was passed, the unemployment rate was predicted to stay under 8 percent. The Congress passed the package. Yet things turned out even worse. The unemployment rate has reached 10 percent by Dez/2009.

@vigorousAtheist, Obama expected that the unemployment rate would reach 9% in early 2010 if nothing was done.

Today, three years later, Obama managed to add 6 trillion dollar to the national debt and the rate is even higher than when he took office (7,8% then and 8,3% now). So, thanks to his failed policies, the US are on the road to Greece. He should have cut taxes instead of increasing spending.

The Bush tax cuts were followed by low GDP growth, negative median wage growth, and little job growth. Even before the Great Recession, growth in the Bush business cycle was the weakest since World War II. And the cuts cost about $2.6 trillion between 2001 and 2010, according to the Economic Policy Institute—adding to a debt future generations of taxpayers will pay for, plus interest.

@vigorousAtheist Regarding the Bush Tax Cuts, CBO data proves that tax revenues in 2007 were actually much higher than in 2001. Lowering taxes does not automatically mean revenues are decreased. What this means is that infact, is that tax revenue did not go down to cause this debt, but infact expenses went up to cause it.

@andrevcm3 @vigorousAtheist what both of you need to consider is that at the fall of the USSR, unemployment was at 1%, so this is an irrelevant figure entirely. What is relevant is whether government or business or any other entities' budgets are sustainable or not. If they are not, they will inevitably collapse. Measures must be taken to avoid a collapse if people's lives are on the line. If the trend is that spending is going up, taxes can only be raised so high, so eventually you need to cut.
