(4,847 posts)wait a couple of years, write some glowing books on reagan and have the media pump him up like he's the best thing ever to happen to america. Actually, reagan also increased the deficit, cut taxes, but had enough savvy to raise them when it didn't work. But, his trickle on economy aided in the environment we have now. We are supposed to be dependent on our "masters" for a decent job; and most of those "masters" are true greedy sociopaths that care less about providing decent jobs or if the whole country goes down the rabbit hole.
Reagan had a very bloody legacy; the death squads, the bogus assault on grenada. I will never forget the iran-contra, BCCI scandal. Brave journalists lost their lives attempting to tell us what was going down. The corruption is absolutely mind blowing and has also set up the environment we have today. They take most americans as fools-start any war for any reason and the proles will lap it up. Unfortunately, we have some americans who are bloodthirsty fools; who scream "usa, usa" who attack anyone not wearing a bogus "flag pin" or waving a flag; while they are being brought down economically. They don't realize that some of their wealthy masters, could give a damn about the country, as long as they can make a buck; that includes wall street.
