So before the debt went out of control what was Reagan willing to destroy the world for? And BTW it's only been democrat presidents that have manage to increase growth and pay down the debt .. Nixon in order to pay down the Vietnam war debt raised taxes then froze wages nationwide. Carter who inherited the Nixon war debt had to cope with high interest from the debt due from Vietnam. High oil prices thanks to OPEC .. he created the National Oil Reserve, weatherize and solar project with tax payer dollars and started paying down the debt. We all know about Reagan raising taxes .. the largest in the USof A history and still nearly bankrupt the country in bankrupting the Soviet Union and thus creating a new cold and more nefarious war. And he never invested one thong towards paying down the debt.. Bush and his larger than Reagan debt and war in Iraq .. Clinton getting laid cuts taxes and pays down the debt ... Bush II spends Clinton,s budget surplus raises taxes starts two wars and never did anything but bankrupt this nation and now we learn that the Russia has come back after shedding it's parasite countries a mean and lean war machine with more very little debt as compared to America ...
Wanna try something new .. I do so I support Obama knowing he's gotta do his best like Clinton to clean up the mess your republican supporters made electing some of the most inept republicans who openly state they would rather this president fail and destroy America doing so .. Your republicans all need to be taken out and not shot and their families not billed for the bullets thus paying back the people they misrepresented like they would do in China where Bush borrowed a trillion dollars off budget for his and Dick Cheney's, OIL war.
guess i must have made a point, she has veered off topic to attack Reagan
her perspective is so one sided it would be laughable if it wasn't so common. she still sees the world as "us good, them bad" in what seems to be an attempt at self validation.
what matters most in life is honesty. it's never wrong to do the right thing.
I didn't attack Reagan, I attacked all of the Republican presidents, on their economic, which have lead us to todays current events. So I believe "I won" because you only said Reagan.
Actually other than cutting taxes you haven't really contributed much except lots of cut and paste from right-winged rags...
Fact is; every subject you participate in is based around tax cuts without any significant or substance to bolster your argument.
the above statement is simply false, it's why having a discussion with MOAB or most lefties is so difficult. facts, reality and staying on topic are nearly impossible and sooner or later they start putting words in your mouth. i guess they are either confused, or do it intentionally to put their adversary on the defensive.
she is so entrenched in her thinking that nothing would change her mind. nothing. ever. and that's sad.

maybe if you ever acknowledge when someone has a point you would come across as being fair and open minded. i don't see anything but attack, attack, insult, attack, insult. the insults get passed off as humor, when the attacks are proven wrong they simply get ignored and a new attack is begun.
neither the left or the right has all the answers. neither is always wrong. both sides make mistakes. what really bugs the crap out of me are the attitudes of some people. our president has an attitude (bush did too but not like this) the "we won, get used to it" type of remarks do not in any way serve anything but his own ego. and just an fyi, there are plenty on the right who have the same sort of attitude. it's just that in this forum and elsewhere, the attitude of the left is defended while the attitude of the right gets labeled racist or worse.
until you can see and admit this simple fact, it's going to be an uphill battle for you in the credibility department.
