The timing couldn't be better
With tonight's Republican debate coming from the Reagan Library we will once again hear the ridiculous revisionism of how he was such a great president.
What a joke. Here are 10 facts from Think Progress to think about tonight when the pretenders start harping about the man that wasn't. The historical facts are easily attainable.
1. Reagan was a serial tax raiser.
2. Reagan
3. Unemployment soared after Reagan’s 1981 tax cuts.
4. Reagan grew the size of the federal government tremendously.
5. Reagan did little to fight a woman’s right to choose.
6. Reagan was a “bellicose peacenik.”
7. Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants.
8. Reagan illegally funneled weapons to Iran.
9. Reagan vetoed a comprehensive anti-Apartheid act.
10. Reagan helped create the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden.
Of course, the facts don't matter to the sheep. But the people who do think they matter; we'll continue to challenge and correct you on them.
