As a matter of fact, you did not mention that federal tax receipts doubled under Reagan.

You specifically stated the spending tripled. Don’t try to pretend you included mitigating information. You selected just the negative things you wanted, to trash him.

More facts? No, you presented less facts, to advance your attack meme.

Abortion was not something that could have been remedied in that time frame. It was still receiving something like 70-80% approval in the public arena.

Oh yes, one more fact you failed to mention to trash Reagan.

You really are an ass aren’t you.

In Reagan’s day, there was not a big push for a wall on our Southern border. Oh yes, you conveniently forgot that too didn’t you.

The flow of illegals had been very small since Eisenhower addressed around 1955.

Reagan did not consciously give amnesty to 3.5 million. His intent was to grant amnesty to 1 million.

I reminded you of this in one of my prior posts. You are still trying to smear him by stating he gave amnesty to 3.5 million, as if he knew that many were in country.

Once again I’ll remind you. Congressional leaders assured Reagan there were only 1 million illegals inside the United States. When Reagan addressed the nation, he reference that number, not 3.5 million.

We don’t know if he would have made the same decision or not, if he had the accurate numbers. And thus your smear is not reasoned.

Had he known it was 3.5 million and gone ahead anyway, it would be a valid number ot site when blaming him. for consciously deciding to grant them amnesty.

Stocks rally when the economy soars. Inflation may or may not have anything to do with it.

Reagan’s tax cuts spurred the economy, and the stock market soared.

Regarding stocks, I give credit to Reagan for keeping Volcker as chair of Federal Reserve. Volcker was not a candy ass like current chair Janet Yellen. Volcker kept FED interest rates so high, it killed off the double digit inflation started during Carter and continued through 1982.

I put all my investment capital into stocks paying double digit dividends due to prevalent high inflation rates. The inflation rate came down substantially in mid-1980’s, causing my high dividend stocks to double and triple. That changed my financial life for ever!
