He sure was one smart dude, to bad so few payed attention.

Reagan tripled the debt. Check out his statement at 30 seconds or so.

He was a poser.

show me the undisputed facts ghost...in my lifetime the Reagan Presidency time period was the most prosperous..so show me the facts.

Granted , he spent. HOWEVER
it was FOR something. A kick ass killer military, the likes of which nothing on earth could touch at the time.

Tech and buis advances that fuel injected our economy. JOBS JOB JOBS and more JOBS in the private sector.

What have "we" tripled our debt for now?
What direction are we in?

BTW those clips of Ronald Reagan were from 1964 '''''

Of course deficit spending feels prosperous. At least until the bill comes due. Reagan had the luxury of kicking that can down the road.

If it weren't for Reagan's spending, we'd still be pretty much zeroed in on the Russian Bear.

Almost forgot... the Bible also warned us about Nomobama, otherwise known as the Beast!!!

dude I can post "facts" on wiki

Dumbass, spending bills originate in the House of Representatives. To unphuck what Carter did to the US Military, he had to agree to some of what the libs demanded to prevent a [bleep] Marxist-Leninist takeover in Africa and Central and South America. Remember Grenada? The Sandanistas? Iran-Contra? El Salvador? The Shining Path in Peru? We mostly kicked their collective asses. Thank you Ronaldus Magnus (Ronald the Great), and if you don't like him, GFY.

Reagan's rhetoric was certainly good stuff.

�Ronald Reagan once fell for a �tax now, cut later� deal that he later deeply regretted. Dems got the tax; he never got the cuts.�

Reagan? Thomas Jefferson warned us about Obama. Read what he said about tyrants and tyranny.

He tripled the debt because the Dems made a deal with him and as usual they renigged on it. Just like Obama will do if they listen to that piece of [bleep]! But say thanks for letting us know how brite you are. You've been reading too much of the other sides crap.

Reagan captured the rest of the world by the balls with SDI, Strategic Defense Initiative until later leaders failed to support it and gave our intel away.

Aside from being a low-life bigot, you can add ignorant to your resume. During his eight years in office, Reagan submitted seven out of eight balanced budgets to the Congress. The only deficit budget he submitted was the first one in order to repair the damage to the armed forces Carter had wreaked. You might want to brush up on how our government works...

And the fact this moron agrees with you validates your ignorance...

Reagan never spent a penny, the dem controlled congress spends money. We forget that sometimes.

All of the savings from BRAC/Base closures and the prosperity of the mid 90's, was a direct result of Reagan's investment in ending the Cold War.

Tip O Neal to every Reagan budget proposal;" dead on arrival". Yes he could have let those corrupt bastards stall the righting of the ship by a stand off, what he did was expose those bastards on the issues at the time mattered and got the money spent where it needed spending. Perfect, no. The best we ve had in a long, long time,YES! If the 1st GB hadn t been so damn wishy-washy, we d still be riding the wave of Americas resurgence

Bingo! Slick Willie recieved credit for much of Reagan's efforts.

Kind of like Obama being blamed for a lot of Bush, and the next President going to get both blame and credit for Obama... nothing has changed!

What Reagan didn't warn us about is the Tea Parters shutting down everything!


Phil

check here. see: http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/faq.html

maybe not tripled, but check the time between 1981 and 1989.

No dumbass, Tip O'Neil tripled the debt over Reagan's objection. Remember that guy? Powerful Dem Speaker of the House?? He blocked all attempts to cut spending on entitlements.

So in other words, it's was business as usual. Nothing has changed.

Newt just made sure slick willie rode Reagan's wave.

"What Reagan didn't warn us about is the Tea Parters shutting down everything!"

Hell, if ya got your willie caught in the PTO, it's time ta shut sumpin down.
