Ronnie and Nancy used to use clairvoyance and fortunetellers before they made important decisions of state.

And Ron slept through the better part of his last term.

I think he's the one who approved reducing taxes and raising spending. Though the Bushes and Obama happily followed in his footsteps.

Ronny raygun was just a talking head that played second banana to a monkey in a third rate show. He never did grasp the fact that being pres was not a hollywood movie. Just read his lines.

I think this thread is the Chicken Wing and all the Libtrads that are swarming in desperation like the video below, knowing the White House will be given back to the Republicans in 9 days.

Leave aside for the moment that small government icon Ronald Reagan signed 17 debt ceiling increases into law. (That might explain why the Gipper repeatedly demanded Congress boost his borrowing authority and called the oceans of red ink he bequeathed to America his greatest regret.)

As it turns out, Republican majorities voted seven times to raise the debt ceiling under President Bush and the current GOP leadership team voted a combined 19 times to bump the debt limit $4 trillion during his tenure. (That vote tally included a "clean" debt ceiling increase in 2004, backed by 98 current House Republicans and 31 sitting GOP Senators.)

Of course, they had to. After all, the two unfunded wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the budget-busting Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 (the first war-time tax cut in modern U.S. history) and the Medicare prescription drug program drained the U.S. Treasury. Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Eric Cantor voted for all of it.


Again, in words and pictures, the New York Times tells the tale:





Watch Ronald Reagan in 1985 make the case for the 'Buffett Rule'...Of course he didn't follow through on it.........
