Reagan spent more money than many President (military), He brought Mexican labor into this country (Reagan's 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act aka Amnesty), did nothing to stop abortion, sold weapons to Iran (Iran Contra) and he rose taxes 11 times. Sounds like a f'n liberal to me. I for one am a TRUE CONSERVATIVE ! ! !
@joejay25 Well Iran at the time was fighting Iraq (the enemy of our enemy is our friend)
He outspent the Soviet Union and caused them to try to compete which collapsed thier economy. Also he only rose taxes because the Dem controlled congress wouldn't cut entitlment programs he wanted to cut.
@joejay25 If he didn't spend money on the millitary we would be speaking russian right now........ A true conservative would have done whatever neccessary to stop the evil empire. I question if you even know what a conservative is?

wtf is the point of comparing reagan to obama...anybody who knows anything knows that nobama isn't even a real president, he is a puppet. not to mention the seat of president has literally no power, the CIA can do whatever the fuck it wants and the president can do nothing about it.
For Christ's sake, I'm so tired of people calling Reagan "the greatest president" or "the savior" because if any of you imbeciles would conduct two seconds worth of research from a reputable, independent source of information, you would find out that the opposite is blatantly true. He was just a corporate tool who did any fucking thing that he was told to do by the owners of the country. As far as I'm concerned, Jimmy Carter was the last good president that we've had.
@kimmykola Oh I'm sorry-- I didn't know that you'd conducted extensive research concerning who does and doesn't like President Carter. God, I'm so sick of idiots like you; no offense.
@jzosop15 Being called an idiot by someone who thinks that Jimmy Carter was "the last good president we've had" is a compliment, no offense taken, no need to apologize. Stay well.
@kimmykola It's mesmerizing that you would take that as a compliment. As I stated in my original text, all you have to do is take a small amount of time, and dedicate it to researching Reaganomics in depth. If you do so, you will realize that not only was Reagan a complete fraud, but also that our economic unrest is due to his "trickle down" system. Jimmy Carter was honest- not necessarily a "good" president in terms of policy- but he didn't sell out, and that's why he was a one term president.
@jzosop15 I find it mesmerizing that you think Carter was a good President.You might be the only one. Inflation over 18% and interest rates over 20%, unemployment over 12%. I miss those times, don't you? The highest Misery Index of any President. 21.98% Reagan brought it down to 9.72% Carter makes Obama look like a shinning star,and that's hard to do. I'm not defending Reagan, but rather amazed by you analysis of Carter.Why do you need to insult those you disagree with? "Imbeciles and idiots."
@kimmykola I see no reason to further explain my position. It's quite obvious from your comments that I'm wasting both of our time. You either get it or you don't; simple as that.
@jzosop15 I agree with you, it's impossible for you to explain your position, and that II do get it, but I admire your passion. You did not waste my time, I found your comments very entertaining. Thanks and stay well.
I'm tired of liberals getting fixated on how overrated Reagan is. Bush jr. was worse than both Reagan and Carter by any measure. Thus conservatives are trash even by their own logic
There were 70 million well educated baby boomers entering their prime working years when Reagan was in office. What Mr. Reagan did prove, however, is the Deficits Don't Matter. Now, in 2012, the first boomer turns 65. Are we still so sure that Deficits Don't Matter? You're about to find out.
Jimmy Carter could not have been elected except as a reaction to the Watergate scandal. His principal difficulty is that he is smug and self-righteous, has no respect for any opinion but his own, and is completely unwilling to consider any contrary point of view. For those reasons, his presidency was a failure, and his sbusequent conduct, denigrating the United States, consorting with dictators, and interferring with foreign policy, is disgraceful.
@mindspring57 Reagan is the greatest fiscal president of all time. He is the only President that has managed to double the debt, even Obama hasn't reached that level yet.
@ChristianNorge While that SOUNDS like a fascinatingly anti-Reagan statistic, keep in mind that under the 3 years of Obama, the debt has increased by $4T. That number represents more than 277% of the increase occuring thruout Reagan's entire 8 year presidency. The biggest accrued-debt-per-year figures are associated with B.H. Obama, G.W. Bush, G.H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, FDR, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter, in that order. BTW, the debt also doubled in 1917-18, thanx to WWI.
JIMMY CARTER WEAK. JIMMY CARTER HATED AMERICA. JIMMY CARTERS AMERICA IS WHEN AMERICA IS WEAK AND STEPPED ON. THANK GOD JIMMY CARTER LOST. I MAY NOT AGREE WITH EVERYTHING REAGAN DID, BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE REAGAN THAN THAT PUSSY CARTER.
@thegatorfan93 for those of you who think reagan just happened to stumble into office when the USSR collapsed, you dont know anything about history. the USSR had the balls to invade afganistan in 1980, they were doing just fine when reagan entered office. by the time reagan left in early 89, the soviet union was a hell of a lot worse off. in this 8 year window reagan worked with margaret thatcher to dismantle the USSR. why do you think they called her the iron woman? history has been skewed
Carter was weak,but reagan didn't do jack shit,but help the rich get richer.Reagan was a snitch,who ruined lives while an informant in hollywood.That's how this weasel made his bones.Sure,there were guys like hayden who named names,because slime like this played on their fears.But he also proved his character,by risking his life in WW2 for communists,fighting those kraut bastards.Reagan did it for political reasons.He also didn't end the cold war,the russians paranoia did.They went broke!
@TheGatorfan93 You should respect any president weve had, reagan inherited a recession from carter, high unemployment, soaring inflation, and a prime rate in the double digits, by the end of reagans term, we were out of it, and the economy was great. He ended the cold war without a single shot being fired, you can cut it any way you want, and try to belittle him anyway you want, but all in all he was a good president. Was he shady with the contra incident, yes, but did he get the job done? Yes.
Not for us,my family suffered just as much under him.And he did not end the cold war,the russians inferiority complex,and a long history of paranoia did.They were going to go broke either way,regardless of reagan's rhetoric.Reagan benefited from good timing,nothing more in that regard.
@TheGatorfan93 well if you count inflation being low, the prime rate lowering, and a decrease in unemployment horrible, then I dont think your to bright :) You can split it either way you want, but Reagan was a damn good president, and even if you dont want to admit it, he ended the cold war.
''Even If you don'y want to admit it,he ended the cold war''
Completely laughable,why don't you look up the russians history,once they discovered the bomb they didn't stop producing them.Regardless who was president,it was a matter of time before they went broke!!!! This historical revisionism has neglected reagan's good timing,that is all.
No, the poor didn't get poorer. Everyone was better off. There was a historic GDP growth of 3.4% under Reagan. There was increased productivity. There was decreased unemployment. Due to Reagan we got about 15 million new jobs in the U.S. in this time period. Inflation and Interest rates, which were both high in the 70s, dropped under Reagan's administration. The median family income rose, and more people became rich.
Completely laughable? Reagan did A LOT to help end the Soviet Union. Gorbachev himself blamed the "terrible burden of the arms race" as a main reason for why the USSR collapsed, an arms race greatly accelerated by Reagan. The Soviets could not hope to match programs like SDI, as they had to spend money they didn't have. Reagan also gave much support to Solidarity, which was instrumental in ending communism in Poland.
@ConRevolutionary Well yay for all of the giant corporations that took over America during the Reagan years! I'm so glad that people realize what a horrible president Jimmy Carter was during his presidency and what an amazing corporate president Ronald Reagan was! Stupid liberals seem to think that Jimmy Carter was actually better! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA (Yeah I'm being insanely fucking sarcastic if that's not obvious)
@pkerdef8 Trust me son, if it weren't for those "lousy" corporations taking over America, we'd be in a world a' shit. They employ people, and employed people pay taxes so they can fund your welfare and food stamps. Jimmy Carter can't hold a candle to Reagan. For God's sake, his management skills were mediocre *at best.*
@allway565 Yes, you see that's just it, isn't it? Our capitalist society is responsible on the left and right for that happening. When we have to depend on corporations to provide jobs, we're all fucked. But the fact is corporations are disgusting things in the short term and the long term. It wouldn't be a bad world if there weren't greedy people.
@allway565 Also remember Carter 4 year president (and is widely regarded as the second worst president of all time (Next only to Obama), Reagan 8 years, and is widely regarded as the best president.
@pkerdef8 Rofl at that. Hmmm, Carter had the energy crisis, he let the Iranians keep hostages, he created massive inflation. The list goes on and on, at least Reagan defeated the Soviet Union, and fixed all the shit Carter created. 52 hostages were released the day Reagan gave his inagural adress, problem solved. Reagan lowered inflation over his term. And he cut 31 billion dollars in spending 5% of the budget. Carter what a fucking asswipe rofl. (If you can't tell I was dead serious)
carter was a moron and this country was in the toilet during his reign of power, reagan gave hope to america and brought us out of the mess.....bet you young folks dont read that in your text books.....
I am not trying to insult or anything or make any judgement towards Carter or Reagan, infact I was not even alive when they both were in office. I'm 19 years old today and I still ask others who do not really answer my question, what is it that Reagan did exactly that everyone likes about him and wishes he was president again?
@brwneyezx3 He presided over the winning of the cold war against russia, was president when the Berlin wall came down, and presided over a great economic time in the country. Plus he was generally very well liked and had very high approval ratings throughtout his presidency.
@lblath000 Inequality in real terms actually grew under Reagan.. so, yes, the working class were free from Russian bombs - not that they were targets in the first place...
@lblath000 And committed treason by selling weapons to known terrorists like bin laden and Hezbollah. He created allot of boogie men we are fighting today. For that I would say he is a huge douche second to bush jr.
@lblath000 Not just a great economic time, THE greatest economic time in the history of the U.S.! 8 continuous years of growth! Obama is the polar opposite, and we're seeing the effects.
@lblath000 It is too early for you to be gratified: Russia hasn't lost at all: look around, throw off the official speeches and diplomatic protocol - the cold war still goes on. The USA still actively does military planning against Russia - Russia actively retaliates to it.
We slammed all the World domination pretenders (like Mamai, Charles XII of Sweden, Napoleon and Hitler) in our history. There's no chance for the US.
@Onlooker1001 That is sooo stupid and sounds so desperate to find a reason to criticize. It is not Reagan's fault that Russian people have problems. Reagan saved this country from a nuclear war-for sure. That is what was coming. I a Russian and I know this. No kidding around. If the country keeps having problems and the Russians keep themselves enslaved it is their responsibility. They were given a chance. People need to take some action for their own future- you know
@endosymbiotictheory Reagan didn't win the cold war, he just ended it at least a decade before it would have ended. Soviet policies caused economic stagnation that doomed them from as far back as the early 70's. Reagan's military build-up however forced the Soviets to spend even more on their military to match us. While the US could support the buildup economically, the USSR couldn't. Their economy failed and with it their political system.
@KrazyKommieKiller right reagon caused the union to collapse many years earlier through his brilliant policies where he invested billions in failed programs like star wars.
@endosymbiotictheory In the game of poker its knowing how to bluff, what gives you the pot... Reagan knew how to play the game! We had many things to be thankful for with SDI in place ABL ASAT (Laser system). It was alot like counter first strike defense called the Patriot missile defense 1975-76, for example. Star Wars Program was cont'd under Clinton, but under another name..
@KrazyKommieKiller Let's just put it this way... Reagan was the Sequoia that broke the camels back! Or should i say bear's back??? Help me out here! And other dominoes fell in the process (Poland, hungary, etc...) It opened up free trade with the west in the 90's....
Should have known that a clip with Reagan's response being cut off would be popular with liberal idiots. The stupidity hiding in the corners of the Internet no longer surprises me.
@MrWsad Actually, NY Times just did a poll recently and discovered that Republicans in general are both better educated and more intelligent. Considering that the people conducting the poll lean bias to liberal causes, I'm guessing they weren't schilling for the right. Go take a poop somewhere else on the Internet lib.
@MrWsad April 14, 2010 was the first such poll conducted by the NY Times that I know of. Authors: Kate Zernike and Megan Thee-Brenan. There have been a few more polls since then and all have shown Republicans to be largely of the middle class, Tea Party members greatly compose of people with generally higher education, and showing more political intelligence. Do your homework MrWsad.
There is no such thing as Communism! Liar! Btw Nice job proving my point for me with the grammar.
@Omnicronimous uh i accidentally typed does instead of those because I type very quickly.
Also. Those polls are nonsense. Tea Party members greatly compose of retards.
Seriously, do you really deny that people like Sarah Palin, GWB and McCain are idiots?
And as you can see from this video Republicans always avoid the truth because their tool is ignorance. Democrats' tool is enlightenment. Only reason people vote republican is because they are stupid.
@Omnicronimous OH REALLY? Well let's look at the facts. Republicans chose GWB, Mccain and Sarah Palin to represent the best of them for the last 8 years and you say you shouldn't respond to the fact those 3 are complete idiots? haha funny!
carter was a president of integrity, not least because of his turning back of USA support for the pinochets, vorsters, somozas,...the iranian shah was his fate, he would have lost in any case (also when he let him fall earlier).
Back in those days.. It was Energy Conservation, not Climate change that was being shoved down America's throat and destroying the economy. But it was the exact same ends. We needed, renewable energy, cause we're running out. Now we need renewable forms of energy cause the planets heating up. It's the same old song and dance. They need a way to grow government, and shrink the private sector. Our planet is a miracle out in the middle of the sub-frozen temps of space. Warm Good.. Cold Bad.
@n2motocross How anybody can defend Carter's Presidency blows my mind. Don't get me wrong. I don't think that Reagan was as good as he is often made out to be, but he was by far a better choice than Carter!
@springjo1 I agree in 1980 reagan was the better choice however on some policies after Reagan like his early tussle with Iran and how he brought all those hostages home without loss of life looking at that after Iraq 2003-2011 makes Carter a more astute and careful leader if only on the issue of dealinga negotiating with Muslims and his Human Rights stance. Reagan was a better communicator than carter who could be a very strident almost stiif sermonizing father figure. both men were good pres.
Reagan did away with free education in state universities,raided the social security fund,killed FAIR&BALANCED NEWS by ending the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE,allowed corporations to monopolize by not enforcing the SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST ACT, espoused DEREGULATION,stopped PENALIZING employers that hired the undocumented in order to break the backs of unions&the MIDDLE CLASS.Touted the MAGIC HAND OF THE FREE MARKET(code words 4 BILLIONAIRES),YES HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE YOU REPUBLICAN CLOWN
i think jimmy carter was bitter about losing 1980 election although he would never publicy say it i know jerry ford was angry about reagan in 1976 election nomination he thought reagan more than nixon pardon cost him the election
Yup. Everyone saying Regan sucked is right! Regan sucked so bad, he just BARELY won re-election. Oops... better check the results of the 1984 election again...
Pfft. Regan was the best we've had in a long time.

Jimmy [ turn down the thermostat ] Carter is a bum, double digit inflation, unemployment, interest rates. Obama going down the same path. Apparently we don't learn from our mistakes. It takes a Carter to get a Reagan .com
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@leafkill9 Contra? That's all you got ? You are naive if you believe that shaddy deals are not done by EVERY president. It's the deals that hurt America that need to be scorned. Reagan's deficit was the direct result of Carter's failed domestic policies and gutting of our military. He had to do what he did to save our country. Besides, His low tax,smaller government positions eventually filled the coffers. Reagan: Mr. gorbechev tear down this wall Carter: Everyone turn down your thermostats
@moirajean8 I agree with you most, presidents were involved in shady deals but in no way does that vindicate Reagan. JFK was probably the last noble president. Reagan was not fiscally conservative. His war on drugs was wasteful and discriminatory. After cutting taxes, he raised them 11 times. Communism was going to crumble regardless of who was in office, Reagan just topped it off with a nice catch phrase. Amnesty to illegals. Reagan was a bought president just like the rest of them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@leafkill9 In my opionion Contra was small potatoes and needs no vindication. I would not characterize JFK as noble but he was a great President. Although communism was faltering from their own policies Reagan served the knock-out punch and deserves more than just a "nice phrase' credit. He also saw drugs for what they are,a scrooge to a moral and just society.You could argue with his approach,but action was necessary.Besides,Reagan's greatness comes from his belief in the American people
JFK...are you kidding? You know his family made their fortune in the black market? plus he was assassinated after two years in office, doesn't give a whole lot of time.
@leafkill9 I'm sorry but if you think fiscally conservative means spending no money whatsoever you're nuts. Reagan was a true conservative! If Reagan was not a true conservative than who was! I do agree with you however that after JFK most of the presidents stunk but Ronald Reagan broke that trend! Unfortunately it has not been broken since!
@gunzrkewl I never said that being fiscally conservative meant spending no money. A fiscal conservative is someone who balances the budget and avoids deficits. Reagan did neither, taking the deficit to 3 trillion. Ironically the closest thing to fiscal conservatism in recent years was Bill Clinton with a republican congress, they actually obtained a surplus and lowered the deficit. Then Bush and Obama had to ruin it all.
@leafkill9 It is impossible to do everything exactly right during a presidency. He tried to and didn't make it. But if we're being honest our country was much better off in the 1980's.
@gunzrkewl Better in the 80s, sure, but that was thanks to shortsighted policies that didn't take into account future consequences. Any president can provide limitless tax cuts and create thousands of jobs by feeding the military industrial complex. Any president can keep printing and borrowing money to boost the economy, sure that all looks good, but at what cost?.... depritiation of currency value, inflation, debt, economic bubbles. Id rather have an economy based on steady well founded growth
@leafkill9 wish you guys would get his deficit straight. If ten of you were asked, you'd get ten different numbers.. easy to trust people that have no clue of actual facts...
@synal ...oh yeah, and make veterans homeless again, like he did back then, right? Or how about trusting his wife, who made all his decisions based on astrological signs in the stars? Or the GRAVE concern that would arise from his zombie Alzheimer's?
You choice would have been to be institutionalized in a mental hospital where they had the right to experiment on you because no one gave a shit about you.
Then rebut it. Your the one that seemed to think that a 1970's 80's mental institution was some kind of solution. Regan didn't want to toss them out on the streets with no safety net so he did try to set up outpatient care for these folks, but the reality was that he could not in all good conscience keep them locked away where they were. Could it have been done better? Perhaps. But it was what he felt was a solution to a severe issue of abuse.
Seeing how Obama is going with the mindless spending.. his numbers will be so bad in 2012 if he keeps this up that he would loose the presidency if he ran against Ronald Regan's corps.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ryviuz Bush was bad for spending billions we didn't have. So what is Obama for spending trillions we don't have? Don't forget Obama supported subprime mortgage. Only the really ignorant could think Obama is anything other than a failure.
i agree in some respects. Parts of money used in stimulus Obama spend is money that US didnt have (debt)
HOWEVER the difference is that Obama spend money with aim to get it back (economic investment) while Bush literally spend money to burn it into smoke in Arabian desert .. big difference
@ryviuz Unemployment has gone up since Obama started his drunken spending spree. Giving money to unions and corrupt financial institutions that do not know how to make an honest dollar is not investment. Bankruptcy not bailouts is the American answer to failure. Atleast when Bush spent we did get some money in rebates. Unless your a deadbeat or union worker you get nothing but debt from this socialist clown.
@Paladin1warrior Deadbeats and union workers make up the majority.There are 10x the amount of them for every business owner/entrepreneur.
owners of capital in America=3-5%
Workers for the owners=95-97%
The owners are just trying to protect their business THEY built.Not the Johnsons on 1st avenue who does not contribute to the tax base.If your a politicain its easy to blame the rich.There small in numbers!!!
@ryviuz The manufacturing of the bombs, tanks, guns, boats, helicopters contribute to a economy.Plus the combat pay for soilders.But I agree Obama made a much better investment.But thats not that much to say after Bush.

There were 70 million well educated baby boomers entering their prime working years when Reagan was in office. What Mr. Reagan did prove, however, is the Deficits Don't Matter. Now, in 2012, the first boomer turns 65. Are we still so sure that Deficits Don't Matter? You're about to find out.

Jimmy Carter could not have been elected except as a reaction to the Watergate scandal. His principal difficulty is that he is smug and self-righteous, has no respect for any opinion but his own, and is completely unwilling to consider any contrary point of view. For those reasons, his presidency was a failure, and his sbusequent conduct, denigrating the United States, consorting with dictators, and interferring with foreign policy, is disgraceful.

ChristianNorge 5 months ago
@ChristianNorge While that SOUNDS like a fascinatingly anti-Reagan statistic, keep in mind that under the 3 years of Obama, the debt has increased by $4T. That number represents more than 277% of the increase occuring thruout Reagan's entire 8 year presidency. The biggest accrued-debt-per-year figures are associated with B.H. Obama, G.W. Bush, G.H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, FDR, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter, in that order. BTW, the debt also doubled in 1917-18, thanx to WWI.

@thegatorfan93 for those of you who think reagan just happened to stumble into office when the USSR collapsed, you dont know anything about history. the USSR had the balls to invade afganistan in 1980, they were doing just fine when reagan entered office. by the time reagan left in early 89, the soviet union was a hell of a lot worse off. in this 8 year window reagan worked with margaret thatcher to dismantle the USSR. why do you think they called her the iron woman? history has been skewed

@TheGatorfan93 You should respect any president weve had, reagan inherited a recession from carter, high unemployment, soaring inflation, and a prime rate in the double digits, by the end of reagans term, we were out of it, and the economy was great. He ended the cold war without a single shot being fired, you can cut it any way you want, and try to belittle him anyway you want, but all in all he was a good president. Was he shady with the contra incident, yes, but did he get the job done? Yes.

No, the poor didn't get poorer. Everyone was better off. There was a historic GDP growth of 3.4% under Reagan. There was increased productivity. There was decreased unemployment. Due to Reagan we got about 15 million new jobs in the U.S. in this time period. Inflation and Interest rates, which were both high in the 70s, dropped under Reagan's administration. The median family income rose, and more people became rich.

Completely laughable? Reagan did A LOT to help end the Soviet Union. Gorbachev himself blamed the "terrible burden of the arms race" as a main reason for why the USSR collapsed, an arms race greatly accelerated by Reagan. The Soviets could not hope to match programs like SDI, as they had to spend money they didn't have. Reagan also gave much support to Solidarity, which was instrumental in ending communism in Poland.

@endosymbiotictheory Reagan didn't win the cold war, he just ended it at least a decade before it would have ended. Soviet policies caused economic stagnation that doomed them from as far back as the early 70's. Reagan's military build-up however forced the Soviets to spend even more on their military to match us. While the US could support the buildup economically, the USSR couldn't. Their economy failed and with it their political system.

@moirajean8 I agree with you most, presidents were involved in shady deals but in no way does that vindicate Reagan. JFK was probably the last noble president. Reagan was not fiscally conservative. His war on drugs was wasteful and discriminatory. After cutting taxes, he raised them 11 times. Communism was going to crumble regardless of who was in office, Reagan just topped it off with a nice catch phrase. Amnesty to illegals. Reagan was a bought president just like the rest of them.

He also saw drugs for what they are,a scrooge to a moral and just society.You could argue with his approach,but action was necessary.Besides,Reagan's greatness comes from his belief in the American people

@gunzrkewl I never said that being fiscally conservative meant spending no money. A fiscal conservative is someone who balances the budget and avoids deficits. Reagan did neither, taking the deficit to 3 trillion. Ironically the closest thing to fiscal conservatism in recent years was Bill Clinton with a republican congress, they actually obtained a surplus and lowered the deficit. Then Bush and Obama had to ruin it all.

Could it have been done better? Perhaps. But it was what he felt was a solution to a severe issue of abuse.
