Kennedy was a Catholic of the 1960s. Not a chance he was anything less than pro-life.

He was supportive of FDR's New Deal and Truman's Fair Deal

So was Ronald Reagan.

Milton Friedman was one of Reagan's many economic advisors. He was a fiscal conservative, but called himself a political libertarian. Reagan supported supply-side economics. Reductions in income tax rates to stimulate earnings, savings, and investment. That would expand economic activity and incraese the total taxable income.

Yes, those were all Friedman's policies. He is considered - and considers himself - a neo-liberal. In fact, he is considered the father of neo-liberal economics in the modern era. that is to say, since it became known as "neo-liberal" as opposed to just "liberal" in the classical 19th century sense.

>>>Kennedy was a Catholic of the 1960s. Not a chance he was anything less than pro-life.

You know that for a fact? I don't buy it. JFK was a womanizer of the first order. He screwed his way through life. He was a bad Catholic. Conventional wisdom says, he probably knocked up several of his girlfriends and the only way to get rid of the evidence was to have the problem aborted. The entire Kennedy clan has a poor record on moral issues and their personal behavior stinks. The Kennedy's are no role model for Americans.

"[Kennedy] was supportive of FDR's New Deal and Truman's Fair Deal"
>>>So was Ronald Reagan.

There was a big difference between Reagan and Kennedy. JFK not only supported New Deal and Fair Deal policies, as POTUS he promoted those policies to a far greater degree then Reagan ever did. Reagan understood it was smart politics to save Social Security and advance the EITC. But Reagan never supported the govt taking control of the field of healthcare providers and creating a national healthcare system under the feds. And like all the Kennedy's over the last 40 years, JFK was a social liberal. Reagan was a social conservative.
