Help me with my list : The Reagan reality . . . . |
|
He was probably a "nice" man, he lived a long and happy life, being honest about him after death doesn't hurty anyone :
1. the October Surprise 2. trickle down economics doesn't work 3. blindness to the beginning of AIDS epidemic killed thousands 4. focus grouping/brainwashing created extremist knee-jerk politics 5. Iran/Contragate defiled Constitutional separation of powers 6. Saddam Hussein our buddy 7. Nicaraguan adventurism kills thousands 8. Union busting lowers middle class wages and benifits (if any) 9. Deficit spending to crush USSR cripples the following decade
I know I'm leaving some out . . . . What else?
