  1. +MrBod69 When Reagan came to office unemployment was 13% and when he left office it was 5%. Inflation was peak 24% and when he left office it was 4%. Under Reagan household income increased and economic activity increased. It was not until Clinton was in office did economic growth come to the point where a surplus could be established. What more could Reagan do?

  2. Liberals never talk about Eisenhower. They act as if he even existed. Eisenhower took over after the massive recession of the late forties early fifties. He had a massive deficit and sky high taxes to deal with. Reagan, Eisenhower and JFK were not flawed in any way as president. They may not be in the image that some people want them to be in but that does not mean they were flawed. They all done excellent jobs.

  3. You are correct he was not conservative in the way you want him to be. He did save America though when it was right at the point of economic collapse.

  4. Raising taxes as in number of times has no meaning if the overall tax burden is lowered.

  6. Carter made a mess of the US economy. When Reagan came to office unemployment was 13% and when he left it was down to 5%. You seem to forget history very easily either through lack of knowledge or through intent not sure which of the two it is though. Reagan had one focus only and that was to end communism which was the worlds most dangerous system. It murdered over 150 million people. Reagan used Iraq and several other countries to collapse the USSR. End off.

  7. The Mujahedin were not the taliban. It is one of the biggest misconceptions. Some members of the Mujahedin went on to join the ranks of the Taliban. The Taliban is actually from Pakistan.
