Why was he re-elected by a wide margin?

[napscoordinator]

Well he’s the first president to ever tax Social Security. As if the checks aren’t small enough. I suppose I’ll find out in 15 years how embarrassing low the checks are. That was a tax hike if you ask me.

I would think the opposite, that Truss (2022) is ripping-off from Reagan (1981) but we are talking CNN here.....

Whether Truss’ plan is successful or not remains to be seen.

[Hyman Roth]

The question to ask this author is why had revenues doubled by the time he left office and inflation dropped.

[Jim Robinson]

Complete and total leftist bs.

The author is a propagandist. Here she slams Truss for her “unfunded” tax cuts. But I’ll bet you a British pound she was silent when Biden pushed his many unfunded programs.

[RedMonqey]

Reagan didn’t get the spending cuts he wanted hence the 9% deficent. Reagan had another priority and that was defense spending to defeat the Soviet Union,which was a success.

Liberal lying again.

[jdsteel]

Lying about what really happened under Reaganomics has become an Olympic sport for liberals.

[Chode]

Reagan’s tax cuts reduced federal revenues by about 9% in the ***first couple of years.*** being the operative part here and then it took off...

[Clemenza]

Actually running high deficits while cutting taxes doesn’t work - even we had to raise taxes to cover the deficit in the Bush and Clinton administrations. Happy to see the markets react rationally and preliminarily punish the fools in the Truss government.

Cutting taxes without controlling or cutting spending is a recipe for government by credit card - the only thing worse than tax and spend is spend and borrow.

Retconning the past. It took a while to overcome the Carter malaise, but when Reaganomics took off it powered the economy through about 2007 when the government forced lenders to underwrite loans for people who couldn't afford them, and then used taxpayer money to bail out banks “too big to fail.”

[chuckee]

I’m with her on the tax cut part but not coupling it with Keynesian government spending part. Just cut taxes like Reagan did and let consumer spending of the tax savings, not government spending, create gdp growth and economic activity

I remember how awful the economy was under Reagan and huge groundswell of desire to bring Carter back. (/sarcasm)

What a moron!

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Didn’t work, huh? Fooled me, and I was there.

“This author is a ditz “
In CNN, every entity (nope, they are not persons) is a ditz.

This is XiNN.

Where is the BARF alert?

[EastTexasTraveler]

It is called supply side economics. It worked for President Reagan and will work every time it is tried.
