@Cassandra @TonyStark @MJ Reagan’s legacy is embodied in zealots like Ginni Thomas. The only thing that would bother him is the language they use now. He liked his fascism to be couched in polite language.

@Cassandra @MJ @Karoli

Ronald Reagan hagiography sends me right up a wall.

On top of my earlier list, he traded arms for hostages in Iran-Contra to fund a genocidal war in Central America, created bogus supply-side economics that exploded the deficit with tax cuts for the rich, making budget cuts “necessary” but only for lower income people, Black people, people living with a disability, and older people, and cut funding for mental health, making millions unhoused. He also had the gall to tax Social Security to pay for the hole he blew in the budget. Ignored AIDS until Rock Hudson got it. The list goes on and on.

People who are need to stop venerating Reagan and pretending he was anything but a disaster for this country.

@TonyStark @Cassandra @MJ @Karoli Rich people don’t use their tax cuts to create jobs. Reagan’s economics were a lie. All of l what he did made income inequality worse and today it’s worse than ever.

#VoodooEconomics according to #BushSr, who signed on as #VP anyway that led to #BushJr starting an unjustifiable #ForeverWar with a country that had no hand in a #Terrorist attack on our country on 9/11 but was a reasonable excuse to fund the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex.

Every bit of which was justified by #Reagan's #CowboyForiegnPolicy and #AmericaFirst precursor.

@HopeVanDyne @TonyStark @Cassandra @MJ @Karoli exactly. I have my own business and if I am relying on tax breaks to expand my business then I have a poorly run business. I expand or hire more people when there is a demand for it, a demand that would justify a loan which are available if you have a legitimate business. Republicans rely on three things to supply their base —greed, a lack of education and religious zealots.
