Big girl Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Big Girl- Do you agree with the above statement? How about you, Enlightened Messiah? yes, but his policies hurt the American people. He was an actor and was able to convince people that all was well when things were falling apart. The deficit quadrupled, he raised taxes 11 times, he decreased monies given to mental health facilities which somewhat caused our homeless problem, under his tenure the U.S. went from the primary lender to the primary borrower. What about the scandals? Iran-Contra, Savings and Loan crisis etc etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the scandals? Iran-Contra, Savings and Loan crisis etc etc etc Last time I read the Constitution, the President didn't have control over taxation......the dim infested congress of those years raised taxes 11 times...the dim infested congress of those years decreased money given to mental facilities....the dim infested congress of those years caused us to go from a lender to a borrower........It would have been much worse, had President Reagan not been there to diminish the destruction waged upon the American people by the dim infested congress of those years......

stevenash Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 you asked me a question about Reagan. And I am asking you that if it applies to Reagan, does it not also apply to Obama? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Wildcats Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Obama is the whole government. ;) Some people "forget" there is a congress, senate, etc….Who needs congress and the senate when he uses "executive power"? Seems to have happened quite a bit since dems lost control of the house and senate. He sure would like to be the whole government, then he could implement his socialist society.

Big girl Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 And I am asking you that if it applies to Reagan, does it not also apply to Obama? nope. President Obama believes in helping the poor.Reagan didnt. Look at that supply side economic mess. When will the wealth trickle down?
