DoughtyOne, I have read hundreds of your posts, and I know you are a good conservative and patriot. Two of my biggest issues are illegal & legal immigration policies and foreign trade deficits. Although I never suffered a job layoff in my entire working life, I saw so many friends getting laid off because their jobs were exported abroad. Our legal immigration policy is very bad. 90%+ of one million new immigrants are given permanent visa based on sponsored by a relative, instead of skills & wealth. Reagan did nothing to change it. Trump seems to be much more in tune with my agenda on immigration.
And by the way I voted twice for Reagan, and have not regretted it. Voting for the Bushes is a regret. But the alternative was even worse.
You should know the things I've brought up.
Reagan did not displace your friends. We weren't in the wholesale job offshoring business until about 3-5 years before he left office. Reagan would not have singed on to destroying tens of millions of U. S. jobs. What would that have gained a man that wanted to increase federal receipts?
Much of what you state here is rehashed union trip from the 1980s. It's bunk.
