> Before Reagan took power, most American cities did not have a serious homeless problem. Now every American city has one.

So, obviously, Reagan caused homelessness?


Yes.

> Before Reagan took power, most of the seriously crazy were not on the streets.

Well, the only possible conclusion is that Reagan caused lunacy.


No. He released the crazies onto American streets.

> Up until Reagan took power, the national debt as a % of GDP was declining.

And, of course, Reagan caused the national debt.


No. Debt existed before Reagan but was declining. Under Reagan our debt began to grow again as a percent of GDP.

This is not rocket science. Why do you have so many problems with such simple concepts.

Never mind that the ENTIRE PROBLEM they can't come to grips with in DC is FDR's SS and LBJ's Medicare. Nobody who is even remotely familiar with the situation disputes this.

There isn't a problem with SS or Medicare. That's R craziness taking on mythology proportions.
