Reaganomics (a portmanteau of Reagan and economics attributed to Paul Harvey) refers to the economic policies promoted by U.S. President Ronald Reagan during the 1980s. These policies are commonly associated with supply-side economics, referred to as trickle-down economics or voodoo economics by political opponents, and free-market economics by political advocates.

The four pillars of Reagan's economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and tighten the money supply in order to reduce inflation.

1. Kucinich used to say "We're already paying for universal healthcare, we're just not getting it".....

And I'm sick of fellow "Democrats" telling me that's the same thing as wanting a pony.

2. That guy should consider running for President.

Those are the policy ideas people would respond to.
