    Psst…I am subject to the same rules as anyone else regarding posting on Facebook. Just so happens I don’t post anything on Facebook so there’s that.

    Was just way over the top
    And Dem's should blame Reagan .. but yes .. they were there too .. but the history on Reagan is written .. he was a fiscal failure - and a long term economic disaster .. but even shortly after his reign -- he was deemed a failure .. and correcly so --- then folks forgot ..and somehow this myth of Reagan being some economic success has been resurrected ...

    Thank you Ronald for oursourcing our economy .. and spending us into oblivion.

    Thanks for proving my point. If you don’t know what your argument is how could anyone else know???

    Which argument are you referring to .. you said I did not know what i was arguing .. you made the accusation .. now back it up. You made all kinds of claims about the argument you thought I was making .. - all of which were wrong -- but which post were you basing these conjectures on.

    Cmon boy .. back up that claim. .. quit sitting there in the peanut gallery throwing fase accusations.

    Every post of yours to me you were arguing against what I posted. I know this because you weren’t agreeing with anything I posted. But it seems you don’t know what you were arguing. That’s on you.

    What you were posting was nonsense ... inferring I said things I did not.. I corrected your incorrect inferences . .. and now you claim "You don't know what you are arguing" ... Which post of mine are you referring to .. where is this incorrect argument ..

    Do you have anything to say other than nonsense accusations that you can't back up ? .. Give the post you are referring to where I don't know what I am arguing . .. back up your claim.

    Heck, you did not get the privilege of hearing Ronald Reagan on our economy.

    I already told you. It’s every post. You argued against every one of my posts which is odd considering you don’t want entities like Facebook to be forced to not have their own rules about posting. Based on the way you were arguing against my posts you made it seem you believe Facebook should be force to allow people to post anything they want. So that is why I asked why you’ve been arguing with me this whole time. Anyway…you seem to not remember what you were arguing so this is all now so pointless. You’re just wasting my time now. Learn what the first amendment is. Goodbye.

    Well thanks for nothing much. Give it a shake. What was the highest deficit by Reagan? Compare that to Obama and Biden. Biden's makes Reagans deficit look Reagan had a enormous surplus.

    I have compared .. and until Biden - Reagan was the worse .. Trump next in line .. then Daddy Bush .. then Bush -- then Obama would be the order you were looking for.

    Biden has surpassed even Rottin Ronnie though.

    Reagan's biggest policy failure was signing Simpson-Mazzoli, giving amnesty the the then 3 million illegal aliens appropriating the benefits of citizenship which opened the door to the tens of millions who eventually invaded our sovereign nation. Second was his twisting the 4th, 5t, and 14th Amendments beyond recognition for his authoritarian war on drugs. Really a war on the Constitution. And then of course in the last few years of the second term, he was barely as lucid as Sniffy McFingers on his best days... Good thing the country was really being run by Nancy's Psychic Friends Network. On balance, he did end the Cold War by destroying the USSR... which, law of unintended consequences being what it is of course, created the conditions for the Taliban and Al'Quaeda to come out of their caves and rise to power, culminating in the single greatest act of terror in our history.

    I hope you printed that out and wadded it up and deposited it in the outhouse with the rest found in all toilets.

    I fail to notice the role played by Democrats during the terms of Reagan. Seems as if they are forgiven.
    Reagan fought his ass off to lower spending plus lower taxes. And he brought us out of the worst all time depression.
    Give me Reagan and you keep the Democrats.

    Apparently the poster commenting to me also wants the illegals to stay out.
    What was the goal of the Simpson-Mazzoli Act?


    Known also as the Simpson-Mazzoli Act for its legislative sponsors, the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 was passed by Congress as an attempt to control illegal immigration into the United States. The legislation passed the U.S. Senate on a 63-24 vote and the House 238-173 in October 1986.Jul 3, 2019
