It’s only a pipe dream if you believe government is the answer to all of our problems.
It’s a pipe dream because it’s an impossibility and has nothing to do with my preferences.
Even your precious Reagan expanded the government more than we had seen in years and set a precedent in deficit spending.
big government only helps in the short term. and it makes responsibility vanish so it just pushes the problems farther back in time. great, as always in america, let someone else deal with it. preferably after i’m gone so the thinking goes.

You love to claim things like this with absolutely no proof what-so-ever.
Reagan may have expanded the MILITARY more then ever and set a precedent in MILITARY spending. However, he deregulated the air waves, he deregulated the shipping industry. Hell, if it were not for the Socialists (both in America and in Russia) I bet he would have cut the government to 1% of its original size. I know I would.
Based on government spending, Reagan more than doubled the size of government over his 8 years in office.
From just under half a trillion in annual spending to over 1 trillion in 8 years.

And what did he spend it on? Military. In other words, he spent money on the only thing the US Government SHOULD spend money on. National Defense.
I don’t care if a scientist is $5 short on funding to cure cancer. The US Government should ONLY SPEND MONEY ON MILITARY.
Not quite true Jen.
Annual military spending increased to $250 B per year for Reagan’s last budget (round numbers). That means $750 B per year for non-military expenditures.
From the 1980 budget levels to 1988 levels, military spending went up about $150 B. Domestic spending went up $350 B.
Then he wasted 350 billion.
Though, I highly doubt his increases were near (in percentages) to someone like, oh, say FDR?

I don’t bother with you anymore because you never did the same in the first place, and refuse FACTS when they are repeatedly shown to you.

Thank the Gods, I can cut down on headache medicine now that I don’t have to deal with the stubbornness and ignorance of you!

Reality is annoying, isn’t it? But I love you too, Jenn. :-D
