All Presidents are figureheads - and increasingly so. Much of the government has a naturally progressive-left-statist DNA (yes, also including IC and Defense), and thus are programmed to move one direction only. Budgets are also mostly on autopilot as well. Huge internal and external interest groups surroun these programs (ie, the deep state) which make change nearly impossible.
My conclusion is that this is all supported by Federal Reserve printed money, massive debt, and now, zero interest rates.
This governance model has also become a global phenomenon.
Nobody imagined then that the amnesty deal under Reagan would result in tons of amnesty and virtually zero border control, but it’s only gotten worse since then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intentionally.
The Bush League Republicans that took over in 1989 decided for us that we were going to become North Mexico.
They knew we would never vote for the New World Order, so they set about to import people who would.
They actively blocked all efforts by the citizens to stop the illegal alien inundation or reduce legal immigration.
They made sure we could only vote for amnesty R or amnesty D.
Until the hostile takeover by Trump, the RNC was working against us in every election.
If we happened to get a candidate not controlled by them, they helped the Democrat win.
Most of the GOP Senators are Bush League Republicans still committed to completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
1913 was the year the 16th and 17th Amendments were ratified, and the Federal Reserve was created.
Very unlucky year for America.
He wsasn't close to Reagan by any measure.
Agreed.

AND they actually gave the ChiCom leadership the okay to run over their own people with tanks in order to assure that the Cheap Labor Express could move forward. They’ll burn in Hades for that one.
“Nobody imagined then that the amnesty deal under Reagan would result in tons of amnesty and virtually zero border control”
I not only imagined it, but expected it. The lack of action on the border as the amnesty was put in place confirmed the worst. And then that nonsense about a “virtual fence” was foisted upon us, just to insult our intelligence. An insult that the taxpayers were obligated to fund.
Berlin wall and hostages in iran? No? Hmmmm.
They promised President Reagan that they would do border control in return for the amnesty deal.
He took them at their word-big mistake.
They, the establishment, are born liars.
I agree, GHW Bush was a poor choice from the beginning.
Reagan didn’t want him as VP and the choice boiled down to Gerald Ford or Bush and still Reagan confronted his advisers with questions of who else?
Bush had been Director of the CIA and given today’s war between the Obama CIA and the NSA, I would rule out any living breathing humanoid with CIA experience as a candidate for President.
While Reagan didn’t have a lot of choices, he also failed to prepare for a successor. Trump, as a CEO of many large companies and as an overseer of many CEOs put in to run his businesses, was responsible to have successors waiting in the wings groomed to take over when nevessary.
The good news today is that Trump has stated last year that there are successors in the wings to follow him as POTUS. So God help us pray that we will not see a Reagan-Bush catastrophe and instead we will see a very capable successor to POTUS 45.
Not really. The republic was KIA in the Civil War and we've evolved into an oligarchy which is the most common form of government today.
(Take away the D's and R's ideologies to see the "men behind the curtain".)
Aside from signing a bill allowing abortion in CA while governor the amnesty bill is the biggest error Reagan made as president.
My friend, there is so much apparent hysteria (almost like Leftist hysteria on global warming) about the national debt.
I would suggest you read “Will America’s Massive Debt Really Doom Us/” by Ken Fisher of Ken Fisher Investments, in the Sept. 22 issue of USA today. Here is a summary:
** $23 trillion debt vs. $21 trillion GDP = 103% (lower than Japan, higher than Germany)
** Federal government owes 25%+ of debt lowering it to $16.7 trillion or 67% of GDP
** America’s hard assets (collateral) is $175.3 trillion or 10 times national debt
** Solvency is not about paying debt off but making interest payments which currently is 9.8% of tax revenues
** Interest was 8.15% 30 years ago now about 2%
** America can borrow at 1.62%; Turkey at 15.18%
Debt does not loom over America
His third big error was pulling the Marines out of Lebanon after losing 200+ in a car bombing. That really emboldened the Osame bin Laden types to believe they could roll back American power by rolling up body counts in terror attacks.
That particular point was much worse than imagined.

The Dems in Congress also promised to cut two dollars of spending for each one dollar increase in the 1986 tax increase. Reagan believed them and, of course, the Dems lied again. They never did cut ANY spending.
Kemp was Reagan’s choice.
HW was a compromise with the establishment.
