[QUOTE="Ace_on_the_Turn, post: 2412861, member: 27417"] Not withstanding that the growth was paid for with debt, a lot of debt. The explosion of the national debt started with Reagan and supply side economics, or as Bush the Elder called it, Voodoo economics. Here's a few things that Reagan also did. 1: Signed Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act requiring hospitals to treat uninsured people and illegal immigrants. He also doubled the size of medicare to pay for uninsured people. 2: Signed the Simpson-Mazzoli Act. An amnesty program that paved the way for 3 million illegal aliens to become U.S. citizens. 3: Negotiated and signed the Montreal Protocol treaty to phase-out of ozone depleting chemicals. Costing businesses billions of dollars. 4: Signed a bill that banned an entire class of firearms. Supported a bill that established many restrictions on firearms including a 7 day waiting period. Supported an assault weapons ban saying, "As a longtime gun owner and supporter of the right to bear arms . . . I am convinced that the limitations imposed in this bill are absolutely necessary." 5: During his administration, increased the debt to roughly three times as much as the last 80 years had done altogether. 6: Illegally sold weapons to a known terrorist country, a country that had taken Americans hostage. 7: Grew the federal government, significantly If Reagan ran today, he would be called a moderate, at best.
