ok, just for clarity’s sake let’s take an objective look at ronald reagan’s record.
while in office ronald reagan:
1-tripled our national debt.
2-supported apartheid in south africa.
3-gave financial and logistical support to saddam hussein.
4-gave financial and logistical support to dictators and death squads in central america.
5-illegally sold weapons to iran.
6-illegally gave money to right wing drug-runners in central america.
7-opened up national parks for oil and gas exploration.
8-presided over the largest banking scandal(the s&l debacle)in the history of the united states that eventually cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.
i’m not disputing that ronald reagan did seem like a nice man with a sunny disposition, but in assessing his presidency it is worth taking a look at his actual record.
