Sure it flies. Reagan had a Democratically controlled house and senate who were willing to work with him for the greater good of the country. Obama has the Republicans acting as anything but the loyal opposition, purposely trying to derail the president at every turn in order to defeat him in the next election, no matter how badly it hurts Americans.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer


Makes one wonder why the Democrats never stood up to that old turd, and gave him everything he wanted.

If you bothered to study the late 1970s, you'd know that Reagan inherited economic issues from Jimmy Carter, that were far worse than what Obama got from Bush.

You made the claim. It is up to you to offer a reason why you think that Ronald Reagan was a better president than Jimmy Carter, who is a son of the South. Otherwise, you are obliged to renounce your claim.

I clearly remember the liberals equating the Bush administration to the 3rd reich and the sith (Star Wars).
You just can't top that kind of nuttiness.......

The deterioration of the US economy was a slow process that started after WWII. Right after the war there was a big surplus. At first the commercial surplus became a deficit(70s), then the balance of payments became deficitairy(80s, Reagan), at that point the US started building up external debt. And here we are today in a deep mess. This is a deep structural problem that started 60 years ago.

Reagan added his part. I believe Reagan was exceptionally bad. If i'm not mistaken, under Reagan, the debt increased substantially. It would be unfair however to blame every thing on him.

The U.S. economy was very strong through the Eisenhower years. We started to unravel with LB J and his guns and butter nonsense. The so-called Great Society and The Viet Nam War. Impossible.
