He killed tax provisions like personal interest deduction. He killed the fairness doctrine.

His buddies make a killing out of selling arms.

Ronald Reagan. Reagan's administration had the most number of indictments and convictions of any president. It's astounding that Reagan wasn't impeached for the Iran-Contra affair. His cabinet also rigged contracts so that they rewarded contributors to his campaign through the HUD. Scandals also plagued the EPA under Reagan.

Yes I remember


Two of the worst things that happened at the start of the 80’s, Reagan was pres and John Lennon was assassinated.

St. Ronnie has been whitewashed more than any president - with the possible exception of Poppy "out of the loop" Bush.

I feel like a fool for ever taking anything they have ever said seriously. They have the character of a grifty snake oil salesman.
