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.
Oops
It is important to point out what past presidents did wrong so that future presidents can do better.
No president is perfect, and neither was Reagan. Since my top issue is immigration, I want no republican president to ever issue general and blanket amnesty to illegal immigrants. It is a horrible thing to do. Besides costing tax payers Billions, it ENCOURAGES MORE ILLEGALS to flood in. Reagan did not understand this, and I will keep pointing out his error every chance I get.
On the whole, I repeat, Reagan was better than the Bushes, and far better than Clinton & Obama. Only democrat president I admire is JFK because of he was the first president in my lifetime to cut taxes substantially. His speech on tax cuts is a gem.
