[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4726933, member: 66082"] That doesn't even touch the national failures. Under Reagan, he went after unions weakening them. In the early 2000's I used to work for two railroads Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, Reagan declared us essential to the US economy and that meant our unions can't strike. Amended to add that I was wrong about Reagan and the railroads, this is what I was told at the time and I never independently looked it up. The reason why we couldn't strike had nothing to do with Reagan and was because of the Railway Labor Act. But in general Reagan did go after labor unions, and those are the kinds of actions that lowered worker pay across the board, plus all the wars Reagan fought in South America and we armed Bin laden, Under GHBush we had a recession and then a jobless recovery, under GWBush we had the largest terrorist attack on American soil, the failed Iraq War, the failed war on terror, the failed response to hurricane Katrina and the largest recession since the great depression. Under trump we saw his failure to handle the Puerto Rican hurricane, the terrible response to Coronavirus, America has 5% of the world's population and 20% of the world's covid deaths, the huge loss of jobs based on his failures in handling coronavirus, the Ukraine scandal which led to his impeachment and trump's financial corruption of taking money directly from foreign governments. This is all an abysmal record of failure by 4 republican presidents. And I Didn't even mention Nixon which had Ford sandwiched in between the last 4 republican presidents. Objectively republicans are terrible at being president and leave the nation worse off. [/QUOTE]
