Watching you on these forums these last few days I've been like, wow, damn he's good

Question if I may sir, what did you think of Pres. Regan when he was in office?

I'll explain later.

When Reagan was in office, I was aged 8 through 16 so I didn't have a ton of opinion either way. But I remember that I thought "Star Wars" (the SDI, not the movie) was a bad idea which inspired me to create a campaign poster for Mondale Smiley: grin

I assume I'm answering the question correctly and you want my opinions from then as opposed to my opinions now.

Oh ok didn't know how old you were back then (I was 0-8 ^.^) to add to the question,

What do you think about it in retrospect? And if you're not busy, how would you compare Clinton's 8 years?

Joph's polling in the ASCII bunny demographic is off the charts.

I'd have to answer that later. I doubt I could compose anything decent in fits and starts here at the office.

Okey day thanks.

I like getting other points of view. The people here at work are too easily defeated intellectually and when they've lost they revert to the "well you're not going to change my mind" and "I don't want ot talk about this anymore"

I realize that you're interested in Joph's opinion, but here's what any rational person is likely to conclude:

Both administrations accomplishments have been blown wildly out of proportion by partisans. Regan had nothing to do with the collapse of the USSR, Clinton has nothing to do with a booming stock market. The economic recovery under Reagan began under Carter, the tax policies put in place crippled the economy for future generations and led to an increasingly wide rich/poor gap. The decision not to fund AIDS research directly led to more deaths than Al Queda could ever hope to achieve. Clinton sold out the Democratic Party on more issues than I have time to enumerate while damaging it almost irrevocably in the minds of "value voters" because of his poor choice of trim. If it'd been Sharon Stone blowing him, Gore would have won in a landslide.

Hmmm...interesting. I was lookin there where you said the tax policies crippled the economy for future generations.

From what I've heard (not read or researched) the tax cuts stimulated the economy help prevent or reverse a recession and actually contributed more revenue for the national budget than if a president had raised taxes.

Now the rich/poor gap I won't disagree with because I see that with my own eyes but how did the tax thing cripple the ecomony?

Wasn't the country doing well through Regan and with clinton? Or have I not heard about the dark days of Regan? Because I know I've heard about the good days of Clinton.

Well, technically Gore would have been sworn in after she bit it off and Clinton bled to death. ***** be crazy, yo.

Yeah, this is a myth. Occasionally a bald faced lie, but mostly a myth.
