It was the "Reagan Revolution" that was the colossal failure. The only thing the American people did wrong was believe you. Well I guess that is pretty dumb. But let's not forget that there were some really good salesmen doing the selling and the messages sounded awfully good.

What specific facts do you have to support your opinion about Regan being a failure?

In what ways have the Liberals failed America?

in what ways was Regan successful Governing?

In what ways were Liberals successful Governing?


You need to be fair and honest in your answers, cause many on here have the facts of both.

No, not Reagan, the "Reagan Revolution". Google it if necessary. If you're interested, pay particular attention to The Laffler Curve and Reaganomics (voodoo economics). The (laughable now), idea was that the less money the government takes in through taxes, the more money the government has, like a perpetual money machine.

The less the government takes in taxes the better for the economy.

In order to do a fair comparison, just answer the questions and you will clearly see that the Democrates made their share of mistakes ehich damaged our economy.

Much of google results are opinions, you need to verify sources credibility.

The UNited States hasn't had "FREE" markets in over 100 years. The US has had a Fascist economy since Woodrow Wilson.

The Laffler curve is considered part of stndard economics its predictions are accepted by Austrians and Keynsians. If you don't know what the last sentence is talking about your probly a fool who learns about economics from Salon articles.

We wouldn't want to let a little thing like Reagan being a solid C+ whose economic principles did more than any predecessor compared to Obama being a solid F whose economic principles are more damaging than any predecessor influence our fanboy love of everything Obama.

Reagan's policies compared to Obama's aren't even on the same page. Reagan actually took some of the items out of Kennedy's playbook. Kennedy today would get laughed right out of the democratic party.

Kennedy was just about the last "liberal" democrat we have seen. The rest have been socialists, up till now, Obama is a Marxist to the core.

There are times when one should pay attention to actual RESULTS rather than revisionist liberal bilge. The following article is a bit long, but the author actually provides facts and figures to support his claims.
The Laffer Curve itself does not say whether a tax cut will raise or lower revenues. Revenue responses to a tax rate change will depend upon the tax system in place, the time period being considered, the ease of movement into underground activities, the level of tax rates already in place, the prevalence of legal and accounting-driven tax loopholes, and the proclivities of the productive factors.
.
Over the past 100 years, there have been three major periods of tax-rate cuts in the U.S.: the Harding-Coolidge cuts of the mid-1920s; the Kennedy cuts of the mid-1960s; and the Reagan cuts of the early 1980s. Each of these periods of tax cuts was remarkably successful as measured by virtually any public policy metric.

For those who don't want to take the time to read the article, this short video might be better:
The Laffer Curve, Part I: Understanding the Theory - YouTube

Compare these recoveries with the current economic fiasco being conducted by Obama and his socialist lackeys and the difference in results is stark: for he past six years the standard of living for the average American has gone down and the national debt has gone up - a lot.

The bottom line is this: the corrupt politicians in congress should not be given ever-increasing amounts of our money to waste - this includes raising the debt ceiling every year so they can pile up more money on the national credit card.
