Reagan is such a false idol. Broke pensions, blue collar workers and enacted the spend baby spend era while enriching his rich friends.
Thanks to Reagan and the Conservatives

Joel thought a crazy, irresponsible farmer murdering a local banker was justified and helped lower US interest rates. You'd be best to filter out 98% of his warped opinions that leak out through those holes in his head...
Blew up the budget deficit too. Just sayin…
Yep spend baby spend while cutting taxes on the rich and corporations.
Nobody is saying Manchin is alone on the greed part or on selling out to the climate wreckers. But he is nearly alone among Ds in sabotaging several key elements of Biden's agenda that would have been good for America.
If you are going to play whataboutism, you'd have more fun pointing at pretty much all Rs - without whose relentless obstructionism Manchin couldn't do so much damage.
I guess you feel the only way you can win an argument is to make up your own facts. I never said it was OK to bail out Wall Street and I have no idea what you are talking about when you claim I support handouts for the wealthy. In America we should all be as free as possible to be as successful as possible or to fail. That is called freedom. No one should bail out failure or risky behavior and no one should pay a college kid for choosing a school he/she can't afford or for a getting a useless degree.
Tax cuts are not bailouts for the rich. Taxes are supposed to be a fee all Americans pay to support our country, they should never be used as a redistribution of wealth scheme. Why should honest successful Americans be penalized for their hard work? Why should illegal immigrants be rewarded for breaking our immigration laws? I believe in rewarding good behavior and penalizing bad behavior.
IIRC, Carter handed Reagan/Bush a national debt under $1 trillion. They more than quadrupled it by the time Clinton became President. Along the way they gave us unemployment over 10%, the savings and loan crisis, and funded both Iran and the future Taliban.
Clinton gave us no wars and finished with a balanced budget. Enter the Republicans with their tax cuts, regulations rollbacks, 2 unfunded wars, and a market crash.
That's not even counting Trump or the relentless R support of environmental disaster.
Why do people EVER vote for Republicans?
Yep, I voted for Reagan. Between him and the two losers from the Bush Crime Family, they did irreparable damage to this country. Reagan was the pied piper of gutting the middle class.
Thought this was a thread about Biden ripping off Regan's speech the other day. Disappointing thread.
It's the source of this I'm looking for:
Economists estimate that between 1981 and 2021, more than $50 trillion dollars moved from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
What are they counting? Is it just a change in the distribution of earnings? Government transfers? Something else?
You are talking about all the times Trump and the illegal immigrant literally repeated the Obama's messages and speeches.
As speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi came out publicly defending why she should be allowed to insider trade, while all of us go to jail for it. Seems like kind of a big deal to me.
I called my doc today for an appointment…I can get in to see him Wednesday! I can get into an “emergent care” facility to be seen Tuesday afternoon…yes James, American style healthcare is vastly superior to what others have available to them….
I have a feeling that you don’t live in a 795 sq ft home like the Britts do to afford universal health care…
Is this the new right wing defection?
The UK has been sliding toward 3rd world status. McMansions are not a reasonable measure.
The Brits live in places built 300 years ago James. Housing in Europe is frightfully EXPENSIVE. Housing in London can put NYC to shame. But the Brits and most Euros still use multiple pts to a room and aren’t remodeling every day of the year, either.
There was enough housing in GB 300 years ago to house today's population? Well who knew.
I wouldn't know anything about that. I'm as middle of the road as the double yellow line. Americans could afford universal healthcare I we all live in trailers parks in a 12 x 72. I prefer my acreage that 99% of Britts could never afford...
That’s not how it works. If you’re going to be ignorant about it, don’t post. We’re getting scammed here. Nobody wants to trade with the American healthcare racket.
Childs play compared to what's going on now.
Not to mention that Reagan had a D controlled House all 8 years.
You’re mixed up. Under Trump the budget deficits rose from $600 billion to $2 trillion. He added $8 trillion to the national debt. Under Biden budget deficits have declined. Republicans have loved tax cuts going back to Reagan, then complain about the resulting national debt when they pass the reigns to Democrats.
Trumps 4 year total $5.56T
Bidens 3 year total $5.85T

What about the Trump tax cuts? That's on him also
Yeah. 20 million more illegals will sure help the economy. How about more double digit inflation. That will help. How about becoming more energy dependent. That will help. How about funding more wars. That will help.
The Trump tax cuts should be extended,.. We have a spending problem.
I know I "contributed" earlier in the thread somewhere, but have we gotten around to actually thanking Reagan and the conservatives yet?
Thank you Reagan and the conservatives!!
Also, thank you Abe Lincoln and the GOP for Juneteenth! I get a day off next week. And thank you Barack Obama for making it official!

Through the mechanisms detailed above, we predict that a single-payer healthcare system would require $3.034 trillion annually (Figure 3, Appendix), $458 billion less than current national healthcare expenditure.
Non-inclusive, inequitable systems limit quality healthcare access to those who can afford it or have employer-sponsored insurance. These policies exacerbate health disparities by failing to prioritize preventive measures at the environmental, policy, and individual level. Low SES segments of the population are particularly vulnerable within a healthcare system that does not prioritize affordable care for all or address important determinants of health. Failing to prioritize comprehensive, affordable health insurance for all members of society and straying further from prevention will harm the health and economy of the U.S. While there are undoubtedly great economic costs associated with universal healthcare in the U.S., we argue that in the long-run, these costs will be worthwhile, and will eventually be offset by a healthier populace whose health is less economically burdensome. Passing of the Obama-era ACA was a positive step forward as evident by the decline in uninsured U.S. citizens (estimated 7–16.4 million) and Medicare’s lower rate of spending following the legislation [43]. The U.S. must resist the current political efforts to dislodge the inclusive tenets of the Affordable Care Act. Again, this is not to suggest that universal healthcare will be a cure-all, as social determinants of health must also be addressed. However, addressing these determinants will take time and universal healthcare for all U.S. citizens is needed now. Only through universal and inclusive healthcare will we be able to pave an economically sustainable path towards true public health.
Saving almost $500 billion per year on healthcare would put us all in trailer parks? Where the hell does your logic come from??
Improving the Prognosis of Healthcare in the United States
Although healthcare expenditure per capita is higher for the United States than any other country, over 37 million Americans are entirely without health insurance and 41 million more have inadequate access to care. Whereas ongoing efforts to repeal the ...

I’ll post whenever I feel like it, gym rat. I’m getting scammed by paying for your healthcare primiums plus my own. Plus all the subsidies for affordable housing and Obamacare.
You don't even know what Marxism is. You get it WRONG, EVERY time.
You might pay half a cent to my premium. I pay the rest of it, and it lessens my take home every year. But hey, why are you complaining? Or are you saying, like me, you'd like to switch to universal health care like the rest of the world has...who aren't getting ripped off by insurance and pharmaceutical companies?
It's an endless cycle here. Everything is rigged for the wealthy, that hurts the middle class, and then the middle class doesn't want to take care of poor people.
Billionaires LOVE you. The middle class and poor? Not so much. Rifler loves to increase the wealth gap. I can guess where your first cuts would go.
