I have been hearing all this Reagan talk lately. Death does not forgive you of your misuse of power or your inability to effectively lead.

I remember the Iran-Contra mess. I could not believe that Ollie North et al was not put in jail for life and that Reagan was not removed from office. I remember the "trickle down" bullshit. I remember a completely disastrous mission in Lebanon.

Reagan was a much better speaker than W but he too was a liar. He too was there to benefit the same group that all Republicans represent.

Reagan was no different than the Bush family. The big difference was that Reagan had to deal with Republicans in Congress that were not totally corrupted and still had a semblance of respect for their constituents and the Constitution. George W. Bush has not had that worry. On the contrary, W has had the help of many fake Democrats.

It took a Democrat eight years in between Republicans to eliminate the national debt. It took very damn little time for the subsequent Republican to send it to dizzying new heights.
