Trickle down economics was smoke and mirrors

Do not forget he was responsible for the failure of the Fairness Doctrine.

He really did do a lot of really crappy things when you look back at it.

Surely you guys need to start looking forwards instead of backwards?

God knows, the new government have taken you back to 1930's Europe as it is.

He also stacked the FCC with his guys, who repealed the Fairness Doctrine and led to the rise of things like Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

Remember Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression? Trickle down economics NEVER trickles down.

Republican administrations have not had a balanced budget since Eisenhower. Remember Dick Cheney and "deficits don't matter"?

Okay but besides all that, weren't we patriotic? Lol

Yet, somehow he is a hero of the poor GOP demographic. The secret is messaging, bald faced lying messaging.

Reagan said that the news could say anything they wanted to about him, as long as they showed him smiling in the pictures.
🍊🤡 learned that lesson pretty well, but Biden never did. That’s why we’re in this mess all over again.

Allot of these young people dont know who Ronald Reagan really was other than President or Nancy Reagan with her just say no to drugs campaign, and the mass incarceration rate they caused, I was 13 when Reagan was elected in his first term, the effects of his presidency linger and not in a good way

He's also responsible for similar policy changes in Canada and the rest of the world - who were compelled to follow suit for economic competition reasons.

He should have stayed a Democrat

And he would be rolling in his grave knowing we sided with Russia.

It’s stunning that people don’t look at the results of the last 40 years and say “supply side economics isn’t working” 🤯 Bush I was correct - “voo doo economics. Reagan’s removal of the fairness doctrine also has been desvastating
