Can't you blame every single president since then for the same thing? Why single out Reagan?
Keep in mind the Democrats controlled Congress during much of Reagans tenure. The President can't create laws, only support them.
Clinton ('93 to '95), Obama ('9 to '11) all had periods where the Democrats held every single office - the House, Senate and Presidency and could have passed whatever they wanted along party lines. Yet they didn't.
- bsder 3y agoBecause they weren't in charge during the problem? Because by the time Clinton got elected we had been through 12 years of Voodoo Economics? By the time Clinton got elected, the damage was done. The pension funds had been looted. The companies had declared bankruptcy and were gone. Families were divorced and torn apart due to men working 200 miles away for 10+ years. etc. And I DO have beef about Clinton--NAFTA in particular. But nothing that Clinton or Obama did is even remotely on the level of the devastation during Reagan/Bush.
