Ronald Reagan created the template for the new Republicans.
Newt Gingrich established the rigid partisan politics that is now a mainstay of the Republican loyalist only agenda - he started with the GoPac tapes.
The sad truth of Reagan's administration is to slash taxes, deconstruct society as we know it, disregard law and the constitution, and last but not least: Spend money by the dump truck load!
Ronald Reagan was the biggest spender in the history of the world - he got his practice in California where as Governor he took a large surplus and turned it into a deficit - and where he increased overall spending by 12.5% over Gov. Brown's administration.
Republicans simply spend money like drunken lottery winners while cutting taxes for those making at least 20,000 per month. Its what they do - its what they love - their modus operandi is the following:
Get in office, cut taxes for the wealthy, rape and pillage the American people for every nickle available, go hell bent into debt and embed the entire government with Republican operatives.
Leave only a trail of indebtedness for the Democrats. When they get into office, constantly accuse them of big spending and how taxes will kill all incentive to do anything. And why not? The Democrats willingly wear a bulls eye target for just such a purpose - they were born as a deer looking into headlights. Dump truck Spending is what the Republicans are all about yet its the Democrats moniker and they wear it like happy little drones.
Ronald Reagan was the great liar, a pillar of charisma and a statistical manipulator the likes of which we had never seen. He came into office with a US debt of less than half a trillion and left with a debt of over 3.5 trillion. He removed 3.5 million people from the statistics regarding the unemployed and thereby transformed the unemployment figures that we remember from his time in office. He removed the Housing index from the inflation index thereby transforming the inflation figures that we remember from his time in office. He initiated the greatest push to jail citizens in the history of Western Civilization and our jailed population would now qualify as the 6th largest nation in the world.
