As far as Regan fixing the economy sorry IT WAS NOT REGAN, it was of course a Liberal by the name of Paul Voulker that saved the economy

[Bahia82]

Regan overrated! soviets were in trouble way before regan got elected, NYTimes even wrote articles on the soviet union demise in 1979, a year before regan was even elected! The cold war did not start in 1980 many presidents deserve credit for winning that battle, Regan is the least of them

[Soxkse]

yeah! Obama 08!

[PapaDesalin]

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A. Reagan was one of the worst Presidents we've ever had.

B. Trickle down economics is a term that has been around since at least the great depression (it could be later but thats when I remember it being heavily discussed)

[BecketTheHymnist]

Damn, I laughed so hard at the last segment of Giuliani. Why is it so easy to make fun of him?

Pt. 2. If you are referring to 'trickle down economics', this is a term that was coined years after his presidency, and to this day is debated if it happened in any way, shape, or form. As far as people losing money under Reagan, I'm sorry to say, but to be consistent, the tech bubble blew under Clinton. Should he be blamed? Of course not. You can only control the economy so much..Just my two cents....

Pt 1. I'm not trying to be argumentative I promise you. But that is a bit of revisionist history. All to often in our day in age, what happens yesterday and is a fact is sworn off by the other side of the isle and the opposite is taught.
