I doubt Reagan will have an honoured place in the pantheon of US presidents.
It is possible history may come to judge him as the worst president the USA has had since independence.
It was during his time that tax policies and the regulatory environment fundamentally shifted from labour to the wealthy.
Taxes for the wealthy have decreased significantly and taxes on labour have gone up.
Trade unions and labour rights have weakened. Wages have drifted downwards. Regulations have changed to suit business rather than labour and consumers.
The USA does not have the strength it once had. It is a ***** mess. (And australia followed suit).
History will look to Reagan and Thatcher as the root cause of this move."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

He never achieved much of what I'd have liked, and it became apparent he never intended to as his own positions were far more centrist and corporatist than mine. Despite that he's a damn good man and I think America will soon start to understand how much dignity and grace is leaving the White House to be replaced by boorishness and crudity.Last edited by kentonio; January 13, 2017, 08:37.

Yeah, they were obviously much better off under the regime of American corporatism and the mafia.
That being said...All this does is bring Cuban immigrants in line with all other immigrants. This is, obviously, beneficial to the Cuban regime however as it does give them more control over their people. Something like this should have come with some type of concession on their part rather than just a unilateral move. But, who knows? There may be some backroom deal here we don't know about. Timing is very interesting though...."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

Well...this is pretty much ancient history now. The issues today deal with how Cuba is today.

It's hardly like it matters, the GOP have control of both houses again, they'll just pass some legislation that makes Cuba a US public enemy once more."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

Communism exists in Cuba because of Unbridled Corruption. Corruption is our enemy too. You might want to study Corruption (Might want to add a little organized crime in there as well)."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

It doesn't work like that. They aren't our enemies until they become communist.Last edited by Kidlicious; January 14, 2017, 02:25.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
