Claiming wanting to shrink the government and doing the opposite.
That wasn't the point.
The point was, what did Reagan do that we get to keep?
I'll take the hit in spending and iran/contra considering the vast economical engine he turned loose. It lasted twenty years. Not perfectly. You could argue it if you want to nit pick. But a twenty year swing. And that coming out of Carter's maiaise. Decades of Democrats in control of Congress.
He did the same for the military - a military that was on it's last legs with much of it's gear still from WWII and Nam. After Reagan - World Class. And that's what it took to break the Soviet's back. Iran/Contra is a pittance compared to ending the Cold War.
Y'all thing you're getting at me because he spent money. You've got to be kidding. Really/
It ain't about going into debt. We've gone into debt before. We'll do it again.
Debt is shorthand for 'debt we can handle'
We could handle the payments on Reagan's debt. And look at what it bought.
Levered out of Carter's malaise.
Decades of prosperity
World class military -massive upgrade
The end of the cold war.
Huge changes in the world by treaty that changed the face of things.
As I said before, it ain't that he went into debt, it's that the debt wasn't paid back. Reagan's expenditures WORKED. THAT's what we got to keep.
Now do Tumpy.
Still waiting for someone to give me some sense of what we get to keep From Tumpy's spending, which is so far away from Reagan's as to be several orders of magnitude in difference. Still waiting to see 'greatest conservative president since Reagan' defined.
You can't do it. It's bullshit. You got nothing in your hand. One super-good Scotus judge. abortion returned to the states. Both super good things. What else for 8 TTTTrillion bucks in debt and 20 TTTTrillion bucks in cost, and the devastation wrought to liberty?
