Which American presidents do you like most?

Reagan was one of the absolute fucking worst presidents of all time, right up there with Nixon and Jackson.

😱why do you think that. when polls come out as to who was the best presidents he was always up at the top

he was against big government. drugs. high taxes. communism.

@theowl: Yes, people liked him because he was a charismatic person who was excellent at public speaking and was an experienced actor, meaning he knew how to get people to like him. But what he did to the American economy and education system, and the shit he did regarding mental health, is still affecting the nation today. It's why everyone is in massive debt for student loans and it's why only 7% of Americans graduate college.

you cant blame him for how things are for what happened over 20 years ago.

7 percent is pretty low for graduation rates. plus college really sky rocketed during the last 15 years

@theowl: And look where Nancy Reagan's "war on drugs" got the USA now. With thousands of people in prison for smoking some marijuana. Oh lord, such a despicable crime.

Being against communism is not something to be proud of either.

@BlueMetalChick: Hold it now. Don't blame Reagan for the mental health issue. It was the Liberals who wanted to close mental health hospitals and send patients home to collect disability checks and create more jobs (in the minds of the Liberals) by having one health care giver in the home (who also received a government check monthly) and other medical services in the home provided by health care professionals. So instead of 1 or 2 health care jobs per, lets say, 10 to 12 patients in an actual hospital, now there were 2 to 3 jobs per patient that lived at home. The Liberal Dems wanted that and Reagan gave it to them. And you know how politics work, if the Dems didn't get what they wanted, they would stall Reagon's bills or our right kill them.

@calicuz: The democrats wanted that, and Reagan almost gave it to them. He closed asylums all across America. No effort whatsoever was made to put caregivers in homes of any kind. Which is why the second largest group of homeless people in America is the mentally ill, right after veterans. Although, let's be real, half the veterans are probably mentally ill as well.

@BlueMetalChick: I agree to disagree on this one. Politics can get so messy sometimes. 🙂 🤝
