    Personally, I’m very bitter about the completely awful effects of Reagan’s tenure. Literally turned the office into a Hollywood act; you know damn well he wasn’t calling the shots. He was there to draw people’s attention.

    • He also defunded 99% of American science to pour billions into a hole in Texas that never had a chance of working.

      Ever notice how all major breakthroughs these days come from non-US scientists? The scene never recovered.

      Let’s not forget the “war on drugs” as well. A lot of awful things came from the Reagan era.

      Not to mention that he changed economic policy to ensure the boomer generation will dominate all following generations.
