did you live in this dimension when reagan was president?
- Reagan’s tax cuts, like the 1981 Economic Recovery Tax Act, boosted individuals and small businesses, not just corporations.
- Deregulation (e.g., airlines) increased competition and lowered prices, countering corporate monopolies.
- Defense spending was a Cold War strategy, not a corporate handout.
- Firing PATCO strikers prioritized national stability over union or corporate interests.
- His broad voter appeal in 1984 shows he wasn’t just a corporate puppet but a leader with populist support.
The idea that men can give birth or become women is just as flat Earther-esque as the idea that there is no sun would be.
I only ever heard it from you haha
So you agree w bush was dumb?
When reagan left office he was extremely unpopular, us was worlds leading creditor state when he started, and wen he finished it was worlds leading debtor, he had biggest financial crisis since the depression, killed 100,000s around the world
His fake legacy is the trait of a totalitarian state

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Reagan was the Trump of the that time. More polished and already a politician, but they are both cut from the same cloth with regards to policies and loving America.

Ronald Reagan's approval rating when he left office in January 1989 was 63%, according to Gallup polls
Several factors contributed to this shift:
- Trade Imbalances: Starting in the 1970s and accelerating in the 1980s, the U.S. began running persistent trade deficits. Imports, particularly from Japan and other emerging economies, outpaced exports. This was driven by strong domestic consumption, a rising dollar value, and increasing global competition in manufacturing.
- Dollar Strength and Reaganomics: The policies of the Reagan administration in the early 1980s—tax cuts, increased military spending, and deregulation—boosted domestic demand and attracted foreign capital. The Federal Reserve’s high interest rates to combat inflation also strengthened the dollar, making U.S. imports cheaper and exports less competitive. This widened the trade gap.
- Foreign Investment in the U.S.: The strong dollar and high interest rates made U.S. assets, like Treasury bonds, attractive to foreign investors. Foreign capital flowed in to finance the growing federal budget deficits (also fueled by Reagan-era spending). This influx of foreign money effectively flipped the U.S. from lending abroad to borrowing from abroad.
- Decline in Savings Rate: American households and the government saved less during this period. With lower domestic savings, the U.S. relied on foreign capital to fund investment and consumption, deepening its debtor status.
- Global Economic Shifts: Post-World War II, the U.S. had been a creditor by rebuilding Europe and Japan (e.g., via the Marshall Plan). By the 1980s, those nations had recovered, becoming economic powerhouses that exported goods to the U.S. and invested heavily in American markets.
I think your assessment is the only thing fake.
