"Raygun started the downfall of this country as he facilitated the rise of the plutocrats." Yes, but he made GE pay taxes he made people pay more social security taxes Who hasn't tried to do that for us lately?

<<<< What are you talking about>>>>> This is what is so frustrating for me Koan - that all evil is all the time republicans and that a republican never did a good thing. It is selected picking at facts at the very worst. Reagan did a lot when he first came to office and to think that the economic mess (VERY high inflation at over 12% I believe) was all corrected by Volker is just crap BS. Those were different times; inflation really was out of control and we were in the middle of the cold war with Russia. Was he a Saint? Of course not, but he did right the economy again and he kept us out of war. That's a lot more than Bush did!.............Like I say though, after 4 years he should have gone away. He was too old. His mind was deteriorating.
