“Reagan arguably turned out to be one of the greatest Presidents of the 20th Century.”
Comment:
I used to get the Spotlight (the paper you can trust) in those days. Reagan was approached by TPTB to take Bush as a running mate, and they agreed to finance his campaign.
So, in reality, Bush was the real president, and Reagan was used to glean the votes. If you were in manufacturing, or if you were a country like the USA, during the “Reagan” years, ’81-’89, you and the country got SCREWED royally screwed.
It was the early years of outsourcing, globalization. In fact, to stimulate our economy the “alleged US gov’t,” and their media, called it the Reagan defense build up but with USA tax dollars.
They also pulled another pro foreign anti American stunt during poor Reagan. They gave a 5 year tax right off (instead of 10 years) to “make” US businesses buy expensive capital equipment.
Guess what they bought. All foreign made equipment, mostly from Japan, Korea and China. After 1980 the trade deficits and budget deficits all got bigger, and wages went lower.
“They” in Reagans name busted all the Unions, starting with the United Auto workers, (media said they get paid too much and are ruining the country) and Air Traffic Controllers.
Their media made it embarrassing to even be in a union. And HERE we are, 2016, and we have a “Union Of Governments” that has ruined the US economy.
