For sake of discussion, have we discussed WWRD? (What Would Reagan Do?)...
My guess is that he would have taken every bill with KKK Byrd and/or Teddy "The Red Nosed Senator" Kennedy name on it and stripped them bare. Heck, take the pork out of those guy's bills and you'd probably save $500 Billion!
This has been brought up a few times over the past few days. I feel that it is irrelevant and moot as Reagan was a man and not a god. He is without a doubt the greatest president of the 20th century, but he had a lot of shortcomings to.
