I understand perfectly what you meant because I noticed it with everyone who talks about Reagan, but arent there some solid facts to show that Reagan really hurt the US in the longer run than what he helped... I am not disagreeing that he brought more jobs, and the average american was getting payed better than what he used to during Carter's Presidency, what i am arguing is that when Reagan decided to initiate all these programs, including all these new jobs, the american budget was really unfit to support these people yet they didnt know it. Just because you create more jobs, lower taxes, and there is more money out there, that does not necessarily mean that money was generated by the economy,maybe some of it was, but for the most part all that money came from america's budget which in turn increased the deficit not to mention that Reagan also increased Military spending like a madman cause "USSR" needed to be defeated. I know this is a very long subject but sometimes, I dont think people think in the long run. Just as long as they have more money than last year, dont have to pay as much taxes, all what you'll hear out of them is "I'm living life, I dont care about anyone else" Clinton aint the best of presidents either. I am an American Citizen who has lived his whole life in America and no where else, can you believe that America spends more money on one Israeli individual liiving in Israel than on one American individual in the US. The US gives BILLIONS of dollars to a country half way around the world and doesnt have the thought to spend it on its own ppl. I mean what is life on earth coming to? People other than the minorities complain about poor minority conditions and when they run for presidency, they say they will solve the problem. The unnesecessary money given to other countries should be kept inside of America to take care of our own. Yeah, its nice to help other people but if you dont take care of your people first, sooner or later, you're bound for some big problem to come your way. Take care Mr. De Long and I hope to hear from you one last time.(posted 8755 days ago)Sincerely Musab
