We have him to thank for trickle down economics. The greatest deception of the modern era. Thanks Ron!
I remember as a child how my parents and grandparents would always talk about President Reagan like he was a family member and as I got older I never remember ever feeling like that with the presidents that came after
Back when an assassination attempt stayed news for more than a day.
Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6,1911-June 5,2004) was ONE GREAT AMERICAN!🇺🇲
Iranscam.
I loved Ronald Reagan and voted for him
But he can't be forgiven for the national debt he created
You mean when the Democrats controlled Congress
Doubled it in 4 years.
GREAT JOB!!!PLZ MAKE MORE!!!👍
Very well done!😊
None thing but by political machinations in what were the bankers all this time buying time and politicians
Yeah great Snow Job sounds just like a movie
The Reagan tax cut was based on the Kennedy tax cut. Reagan's tax cuts had almost nothing to do with the huge deficits and the lost revenue that occurred during the 81-82 recession. The 25% tax cut was implemented in 3 stages. The first 5% in October 1981, 10% in July 1982 and then 10% in July 1983...so the majority of the tax cut wasn't implemented when the people in the video were complaining about it not working. The recession then ended in December of 1982. The increase in the deficit was b/c of high unemployment and the defense spending increase.
Tip ONeill and company also refused to cut other spending in congress. It wasn't just defense.
@@kpk33x True. Spending is on autopilot to increase every year. The Democrats in the House and the Senate, as well as most Republicans, weren't interested in cutting spending in the least.
Hey Andropov! UP YURI'S!😊
A great president and brilliant mind,truly he knows how to construct words and sentences
For 40 years it was the “Age Of Reagan” until 2024. It then became the Trump party.
It’s 2024 buts it’s really 1984. we got a celebrity running the most powerful country
Another fool on the Hill . Only RR had a genuine love for this country . Trump has only love for himself .
In regards to homelessness he swelled the numbers by closing down mental hospitals .
Ronald Reagan was an actor... and coincidentally he was also the president in 1984
Still waiting for wealth to be trickled down 😢
Real Talk
He started the anti-union movement.
Unions are corrupt
An actor😮
Im not big on politics, but what exactly made his presidency so bad?
Good question listen to this commentary he was a hypocrite and non-believer
Nothing bet ter a front door for propaganda for Hollywood, the real rulers and bankers racist politician so convincing😢 add charisma runs America
Nothing this man was the greatest president we have ever had.
Oh man. He kept funding a war illegally that then brought in more Coke which turned into crack. They then blamed the black communities for the crack era and the destruction after. Besides that I’m not sure. That’s what I’m here to learn.
Reagan was against affirmative action (civil rights), did nothing about the crack epidemic of the 1980s, did nothing about the AIDS crisis, Reaganomics (benefited for the wealthy while unemployment was very high), the poor was also suffering under President Reagan, trading weapons in exchange for American hostages, huge military spending budget which was not necessary.
He was also an actor
We need a president like him now
Do we really…..he was a rich man’s president, a white man’s president!
They did not do anything then they're not going to do nothing now don't you realize masks corruptible
No we don't
when was this documentary filmed
In the Reagan years 😂
Thanks Ron you really screwed us over.
He screwed only leftists over who wanted to implement communism like you.
He was the first POTUS he used fake Christianity to manipulate the powerful evangelical lobby . He had zero genuine christian ideal . A liar and conman who did irreprable harm to our neautiful nature . The one criminal that never faced justice was Reagun IMO an utter disgrace .
Look at South America now!!!! Thank you Mr Regan for your leadership to help them with democrat government!!!
Ya, funding a far right terrorism regime in Nicaragua, Chile, Guatemala really ended up well....
Do you hear these fools comments
@ Iranscam.
Not a fan of Reagan.
He did a lot of damage as President
But I’ll take him over Trump any day.
Because he was competent even when he was in the wrong
He was dealing with cognitive decline
lol, Reagan was awesome, 4.4% Gdp yoy after useless Carter caused record inflation.. You Lefties are ridiculous...
TDS!!!
That makes as much sense as a conversation in the dark with Astro from the Jetsons.
You're the same guy who cast their vote for Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. How do you make that big of a contradiction make sense. When it regards
President Trump you lose all common sense.
A good example of an oxymoron right there!
RODRIGUEZ OVER AN OUT
President can do whatever they want now an nobody does a thing lol
Congress controls the purse strings.
To depressing to even begin watching.What a horror this man was.
To bad he didn't protect your precious gays Lmao
I just want healthcare healthcare, healthcare, healthcare, healthcare healthcare. Why out of 33 first nations we are the only one with no healthcare.💁🏼♂️‼️ 80% of all bankruptcy are because of healthcare expenses. 80% of the American population owes more than $10,000 in healthcare expenses WTF 🤦🏼♂️ one thing for certain Republicans will never give us healthcare. Another thing for certain is that as much as you may not like Democrats, they are far more likely to actually give us real universal healthcare that we deserve. Healthcare is a human, right. this country can easily afford Universal healthcare. ‼️
Ask ANYONE who suffered through communism and learn how great government controlled healthcare was ( and still is ). Only Party apparatchiks received even mediocre care. If you are TRULY serious about quality health care, remove the insane Obamacare controls - All government control - and let the free market provide coverage. The only government control of health care I want is to force the insurance companies to cover what consumers expected, in good faith, when buying coverage. Aside from good medical care, overall health care involves food and drug quality. There are hundreds of ingredients used in foods and drugs in the U S. that are banned throughout the world because those governments know how toxic those components are. Ask any physician what the greatest impediment to providing care to patients and they will tell you it government / insurance regulations. More and more doctors are taking cash only payment and delivering better overall patient care. There are associations of physicians across the country ( Atlas for example ) that also have included discount vision, dental & pharmaceuticals. Look into them for massive savings... and get rid of the failed idea of 'give me, give me give me' - NO FREE LUNCHES - Somebody ultimately pays the bill. The dems dangle the carrot of erasing student debt for currying votes. You ate paying for that,. - but government pouring money into universities is a discussion for another time.
Ask canadians how long they wait for stuff
There already was free market healthcare in the past here. Guess what happened? Multiple people being stripped of the healthcare they paid these private companies for through no fault of their own. "paperwork issues" my ass. Pre-existing conditions were denied coverage because the company straight up didn't want to pay for them. Religious belief being used as an excuse not to cover medically necessary female health care, all because "The Bible told me it's wrong". I probably wouldn't have been able to afford my own birth control which would have cost me $2,500 out of pocket, with employer sponsored insurance included, if it wasn't for the ACA. Before throwing out at me I only wanted it because I want to be a whore, which has been a common argument by conservative right wing freaks on here, it's solely to control heavy menstrual cycles. Thank god I got it before we're about to inaugurate someone who has said in the past women need to be punished for seeking abortions. It's an added bonus to protect against pyscho republican chronically online incels from trying to put me "in my place" for being a woman and speaking out against them.
I'm not saying socialism is the answer I'm just a regular person, im not informed enough to make a statement on that front. We have PROBLEMS in regards to healthcare here with what we currently have though. And if you seriously believe healthcare = a "privilege" instead of a right, you have no empathy for anyone but yourself. You're also okay with children going hungry for being born to parents who actively abuse them by not feeding them, or for being too poor. Don't tell people to have children now and then shame them for "not being able to afford them". 2024 and 47 million people are still experiencing food scarcity. You're okay with people being homeless living in tents under highways. That is not a Democratic issue it's a bipartisan issue. Well we're gonna be criminalizing them for being homeless, and throwing them into internment camps soon anyway.Thanks Trump!!
You people embarrass yourselves. Shut up.
@@KeshHarpcouldn’t have said it any better.
@ Medicare for all. Best health insurance coverage I ever had.
Bad!
Please…..make it stop……mommy, make it stop!!
Who wrote this?
"Whether or not tax cuts can stimulate an economy is still up for debate?"
No it isn't. It never was, not with any intelligent people. I have an economics degree. Trust me oh academic man, it is well known that tax cuts do absolutely stimulate an economy.
Now I'm going to blow your mind. They also increase government revenues.
But you're not ready for that second part yet. Why would you put such nonsense in your story, as trying to tell these people that we don't know that tax cut stimulate an economy? Whoever wrote that for you, fire him.

Reagan was the GOAT! Trump is not qualified to shine Reagan’s shoes.
did you ever notice in the last 40 years that every down turn in the economy and our standard of living was during a Republican administration and every upturn and every time we’ve paid off the national deficit was a Democrat administration 💁🏼♂️‼️
Lies
Paid off the national deficit? Lol. The deficit we have every year is what adds on to our debt we owe Ronald Reagan tried multiple times to get a balanced budget amendment passed but he never could get it thanks to Congress. Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of our lifetime there was more debt added on by Obama than all of the other presidents combined before him
Bullshit please tell me that was true during the administration of Jimmy Carter
Every Democrat policy starts taking noticable effect when their term is finishing and the Republicans have to clean up the mess. That's why the country always looks like it's in a bad shape when a republican is in office because they're cleaning up the Democrats mess
Quite the opposite.@@Your_friendly_racist_neighbor
Was gonna watch, then I saw Robert Reich. No thanks.
I'm not a fan of Reich either but there were others interviewed including pro-Reagan individual and Reagan speech writers. I thought very well done documentary.
