>>118990947Reagan was by every means a failure of a president. he made no attempt to help the thousands who suffered and died from aids, he tripled the national debt, he terrorised central america, africa and the middle east through the funding of paramilitary death squads.
his economic policies crippled the average american households, calling the poor: "welfare queens" and "predator criminals". he encited the war on drugs, a violently racist domestic policy which led to the incarceration of millions and an impact still felt to this day.
i could also go into the grant rigging, the lobbying scanfals, the epa scandals, the savings and loans crisis, the supporting of apartheid, and his ballooning of the military budget by literally every metric. Reagan was one of the worst presidents of the last 100 years.
