(32,080 posts)Reagan was a terrible president. He had one of the most corrupt cabinets in history. He set record budget deficits, a lot of it coming from illegal wars, he illegally dealt arms to Iran and other countries, he caved to terrorists on numerous occasions, some of which lead to the creation of Al Qaeda. He robbed the Social Security Trust Fund to pay for his budget shortfalls. He ignored the AIDS crisis, letting thousands die before he even acknowledged it was a national health issue. He let hundreds of thousands of family farms go out of business or declare bankruptcy by vetoing the farm credit bill that would have helped them avoid foreclosure. His policies caused the Savings and Loan collapse. He only looks good because Dumbya and Trump were/are so much more incompetent and corrupt.
