I would be thrilled if we cut defense spending by 50% or more and got out of the middle east.  Divert that money to paying off the deficit, infrastructure and education.  Never will happen though because people get their panties in a wad about ISIS and al queada.

[Spirit]

Obama loves his drones too much to cut defense spending. 

[Adam]

The government should give that money back to us so we can spend on it on stuff we want to spend it on

All of what you said at the end would cause conservatives today to label him as a filthy liberal.  And it doesn't invalidate the other, more liberal things Reagan did.  I also like how you admitted he increased defense spending.  He increased it by 48%.  That's not just an increase, that's a huge increase.  If any of your bills suddenly went up by 48% you wouldn't just call it an increase.

 

Ok go ahead and keep calling Reagan a liberal, I guess that makes Obama a communist.

[Glen]

No, it doesn't.  

 

Really, it doesn't.  Do you even know what communism is?

My health care premium went up 90% after Obama got his hands on the industry. You're right, it's not just an increase. But that's for another thread.

American's love their false sense of security. They would never cut the defense budget close to 50%.

[mtangelsfan]

Does that include defense spending also MT?

 

(your answer will be yes)

 

Absolutely!  The defense department is one of the worst offenders.

Any true conservative who took a good look at the JSF program would have a heart attack. The DoD is a corporate welfare program.

I don't think anyone would call him a filthy liberal.  I mean, Ronnie's articulate and bright and clean ... and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man.

Fixed.  I doubt it ever goes down again.  Defense contractors have deep pockets and Americans are stupid.

reagan is where this mess started. trickle down economics, union busting, cia backed cocaine sales to inner city blacks, manic deficit increases, the start of the radical social class stratification now appearent in the vanishing middle class, the war on drugs.

i could go on- the havoc he wreaked on the mentally ill and the creation of the homless problem while he was governor of california.

lots of what he did was suggessted by a goddamn astrologer and his dipshit wife for gods sake.

You have proof of that astrologer claim? I've never heard of that before.

[Adam]

I know Nancy was into that stuff

its hard to believe that for 8 years this guy held the fate of the earth in his hands

[Angelsjunky]

Bernie Sanders is my president of choice.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

how bout this "choice"? vote for bush,cruz or hillary.

enough to make me puke.

this is why i dont vote. this "choice" is an insult to a normal persons intelligence.

more viable candidates might be an earthworm, dungbeetle and cockroach.

That is redundant.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

The Reagans' love of astrology was well known. Events at the White House were often rescheduled upon the advice of an astrologer. Both of them denied influence in policy decisions.

Reagan also hosted a White House dinner for the Mujahideen, equating them to America's founding fathers. We know them today as the Taliban.

Some guy who has only been a senator for a short time, some guy without any real executive experience, some guy whose biggest qualification is he went to Harvard Law School, some guy with a foreign name and mixed ethnic background, some guy who has questions about his birth certificate.

 

 

Nope, not Obama.

 

Cruz.

I wish someone would break the longshoremen's union. I was in Long Beach this weekend and counted about 15 freighters backed up in the ocean waiting to be unloaded because those lazy assholes went on another strike. I can only imagine how much this is costing both the local and national economy.

[arch stanton]

If they're that important then pay them.

[nate]

Or shitcan them and get someone willing to do it.  Unions are the worst.
