Is Ronald Reagan even deader now?

[Bennyboy]

Now that all his policies have come home to roost?

1. I bet he and Friedman are down in hell complaining that...

The reason it's all happening is because there's still too much government involvement in the market. x(

2. I wonder

His policies are having their inevitable effect, for sure (but remember Clinton was president when Glass-Steagall was repealed) but note that McCain is offering nothing other than Bush's economic policies without the Bush. No sign of humble pie from the Republicans, then. Do you think the politicians will have the brains and courage to demand any quid pro quo from the financiers, now that you taxpayers are bailing them out after they steered the ship onto the rocks? No need to answer that; it was a rhetorical question.

3. Naw. People get all nostalgic about bank failures...

...and like a big one every twenty years.

4. We should dig up his body to make sure

[Tektonik]

5. leninize him

[Connonym]

6. heh, remember how much they talked about him during the republican debates

his name was mentioned almost as much as 911

[baldguy]

7. Reagan will be cast in a new role.

[Jade Fox]

8. Hopefully the "Saint Ronnie" cult of necrophiliacs will be.....

long gone soon.
