When the budget is looked at as a share of the economy, Reagan’s legacy looks a bit better from a small government perspective. Federal revenues as a share of gross domestic product fell from 19.6 percent in 1981 to 18.3 percent by 1989. Spending fell from 22.2 percent to 21.2 percent. Thus, Ronald Reagan shrank the federal government by about 5 percent — a less radical change than supporters or detractors often claim.

Dazzler lies, and he loves being lied to. -

Other than the guy H claims to have voted for twice in the 80's
He was an adept politician. He paid lip service to lots of things. Unfortunately, in a Western democracy, it is crucial to capture some reasonable share of the gullible vote.
Gullible is your middle name. RUSSIA
He wasn't remotely like what you gals now imagine, though you were there and should know better. Alas, not everyone can age well.
I never voted for Reagan
RR was all about shrinking government and doing what government is supposed to do. Defend the country
What he wasn't was beloved or treated fairly by the slime ball media which is what I have been telling the GALS for over a year now as they got the vapors over Trump
You GALS are always worried about a GOP dictator then whine like GIRLS when they aren't and go along with Congress and stuff
Reagan stood for less government. You didn't and you don't
You're a fraud and a loser. And a sucker
That's not a criticism on my part. It's a big part of the reason the early 80s economic recovery was so rapid.
Sort of. The ratio shrank under Reagan to where it had been at the beginning of his presidency from the highs it had grown to during his presidency. Almost exactly the same as the Obama experience, btw. -
He cut spending and pushed for a line item veto that would have given him the authority to cut even more spending. He submitted budgets that cut spending and he called for the complete elimination of some Federal Departments. Obama never did any of this. You measure people by how you are Dazzler. You know that you're a dishonest and duplicitous hack and therefore you assume everyone else is like you.HHusky said:SFGbob said:

This could have been a meaningful thread but it went into the toilet.

Disagree. Lots of poasts about me. I like it!DerekJohnson said:This could have been a meaningful thread but it went into the toilet.

Used to listen to Rush on the morning drive, during the Clinton years, whom I voted for twice, btw.
Back then nobody needed Trigger Warnings because nobody shit their pants when they heard opposing opinions like the fragile generations since. I listened, I learned, and I frequently disagreed.
And somehow, miraculously, I lived through it.
Even fragile flowers like @HHusky somehow survived.
Could it be that people on the political Right AREN'T actually trying to kill Lefties, all day every day? -
When I asked why Rush was a fascist, that was the end of any meaning full conversation. It's just something all leftards feel and therefore they are.DerekJohnson said:This could have been a meaningful thread but it went into the toilet.
