Ronald Reagan; Savior or Scum

[Stoked]

How does this post contribute anything?

Shows my opinion that the idealization and demonizing of Reagan by both sides is drama at its finest. Why does he have to be on or the other?

Also this is getting into a discussion I have no interest, or ability, to rationally discuss. So I bowed out till you quoted me.

Thanks for leaving a "fair and balanced" deuce before the inevitable bow-out

I'm all for the Reagan Hate. But can we please have some Clinton Hate for dessert?

So I should spew a bunch of crap, as you have and like to do? Especially after willingly admitting that I am uninformed on the subject?


Please feel free to continue contributing with your demonizing of Reagan. I need to pass the time and your posts work as well as anyone elses.

Once thrown onto social security, an inmate needs food, housing, healthcare and other services. This means huge profits for capitalists at the expense of the working middle class and poor.

Incorrect. Poor people can not spend nearly as much on the outside as the government will spend to incarcerate them, and the profit margins are probably much higher on the government incarceration spending.

No. My top five favorite presidents in order:

Obama
Karl Rove
Reagan
Clinton



Sr. might have made the list but he was too damn boring. We need to manufacture something to love-hate about him.

Until there's 80 million of them supported by 135 million workers. But that wasn't the point and way to miss it entirely.

There is a profit incentive for an entire industry and a lot of public workers in the business of keeping people in prisons and out of the work force.

If you are arguing that our economy would be more robust by having more people working and less people incarcerated, than I am not arguing you on that.

You forgot your fair and balanced duece.

I don't equate what we have now with free market economy. We have a system that protects industry from downturns but does not protect individuals. That's being done in the name of "free markets" and is destroying any support actual free markets could ever have. Corporate welfare is not capitalism.
