The GOP's Selective Amnesia Regarding Ronald Reagan

Factoidd #1  Ronald Reagan raised taxes massively during his first term in office.

Factoid #2  Ronald Reagan signed a law granting millions of illegal aliens blanket immunity and amnesty when president.

Now, I ask you, how many of today's 'conservatives' who kneel at the Reagan Altar even realize the two facts above?

Would His Conservative Excellency Ronald Reagan even be welcome in today's Tea Bagging Republican party?

Ahhh those damn facts get in the way sometimes, don't they??

What data are you using to make your factoid #1 claim?

ERTA of 1981 doesn't seem to support your opinion.

Don't worry Mike--99.9% of your fellow Republicans either are ignorant of this, or, as I said, are suffering from selective amnesia

your data is an opinion piece?

cbo.gov boring but insightful.

you can see what was raised and what was lowered and when, minus the spin.

MR said...

Oooh Mike you are so smart! How impressive! The actual CBO! Let me guess...you actually read the constitution, too!

Let's cut to brass taxes here: did Reagan massively raise taxes, or no.

No get back to the radio and Rush Limbaugh, dittohead--

i'm finding different info.

MR said...

You're completely wrong, you know you are completely wrong, and you have officially now become a waste of my time. Goodbye.

i certainly won't waste any more of your time by reading your blog and challenging your opinion.
