@love5231978 No I don't agree. Obama is giving money away to his cronies - and using taxpayer money to buy votes. He also used that money to destroy the economy even further. Reagan re-built the military and destroyed the soviet union, and actually turned the economy around.
-
@ToddAldrich Yes, the deficit DID go up under Obama, but it is more the result of Bush's neglect than Obama. So if you not going to put the BLAME on Reagan you can't put the Blame on Obama .Do you agree?I know it a different time period..

@ToddAldrich True
-
@phoenixbornagain This was not a time when we could afford to let our guard down either. The Soviet Union was at it's very PEAK of power and influence worldwide. Yes, the deficit DID go up under Reagan, but it is more the result of Carter's neglect than Reagan.
-
@phoenixbornagain That is true, but the historians will neglect to tell you WHY the deficit grew under Reagan.You see, Carter left our military in a shambles HUGE %'s of our equipment sat useless because we lacked parts for them, our military men were living in substandard housing and had VERY low wages. Also, of the 10 army divisions designated to protect the Continental U.S. - 6 were rated as NOT COMBAT READY, and of the 4 remaining, 3 were rated as ready, but with SEVERE deficiencies.

Historians will also stress the gap between Reagan's domestic goals and his accomplishments. Most obvious is the deficit; what he promised to eliminate he has allowed to swell beyond comprehension.
-
But history will remember Reagan as the first Cold War president to preside over eight years of unbroken peace, the first to reach an arms reduction accord with the Soviets, and the American president who helped make it possible for Mikhail Gorbachev to begin the process of restructuring Soviet society.
God bless the best president of the last 100 years, Ronald Reagan
For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud to be an American. Oh wait, this was in the 80's. Who's the pres today??? I don't feel proud anymore.
