Collective Conscious

mr daniels, you are a fool.

yes the u.s. debt increased under rea­gan, but under two prodomi­nent causes…
1. he built up the u.s. are­se­nal of nuclear war­heads and the “threat” of space wars to cause the soviet union to col­lapse upon itself (ref­er­ence: ussr had no money like we do not have today).
2. the con­gress of the united states was con­trolled in both houses by the democ­rats ( “libs” which you are one of, obvi­ously). any­one that has any knowl­edge of gov­ern­ment spend­ing knows that it is insti­gated by the con­gress and only passed by the pres­i­dent if he has no power to veto.
not sure what the heck you are talk­ing about with regards to social secu­rity taxes and mov­ing the bal­nace off line, but he did make sure that the postal ser­vice stopped reciev­ing fed­eral tax dol­lars, and i just wished that your obama had only spent $300 bil­lion (your num­ber, not mine) on bail­ing out bank­ing insti­tu­tions.
as a con­ser­v­a­tive, i have never claimed that rea­gan or either bush were per­fect… but any one of them are a hell of a lot bet­ter than carter or obama, and clin­toon was a ben­e­fi­ciary of 15 years of con­ser­v­a­tive pol­icy from a pres­i­dent and con­ser­v­a­tive con­trol of con­gress dur­ing his term.

p.s. clin­ton was the first to tout a “bal­anced bud­get” tak­ing social secutrity of the “spread­sheet” for costs.…

love ya dude!
