Obama Obama Outperforms Reagan On Jobs, Growth And Investing

a lot of those incarcerated in those numbers are not violent felon, a plethora of drug cases. were the racist, yes i said racist sentencing policies of crack cocaine vs powder are imbalanced. Not to mention the Reagan contra scandal which a by product of this was pushing crack cocaine to be sold in the black communities to fund buying weapons. Which the media largely swept under the rug.
But yes you are right many are self inflicted and carry no excuse of crimes committed.

 

Boom goes the dynamite. Where the fuck you been double M I needed you on this one.

 

had to pick my spot lol.

 

ISIS was created by Bush and an Administration of Reagan-era advisors, not that I give a shit. ISIS can run the Middle East for all I care. That's their problem, not America's. I wouldn't' waste a bomb on them.

Then he proceeded to slash tax revenue while increasing spending on the military tripling the deficit. Then, as if that wasn't enough he added a new cabinet level position with the obligatory department that follows in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Like you, Reagan was all hot air and substance. The number of Federal employees rose under Reagan and didn't drop until Clinton was President. Even though he wanted reduce Social Security and Medicare, he pushed for a $168 billion dollar bailout instead after trying to privatize it. Then he raised taxes on corporations, something not even Obama has tried to do. In fact, he signed off on tax increases every year he was President except the last. He also granted amnesty to like 3 million immigrants.

Shit, Reagan makes Obama look like Barry Goldwater. Thank goodness Bill Clinton was elected and un-fucked our country. It seems like every time a liberal gets elected, they're in place just barely long enough to correct the Republican's fuck ups. Maybe we can get another liberal elected this time around and actually get out ahead of the next Republican term for once.

 

Reagan was a great "idea". He would have made a great king, but he was a shitty President unless you're wealthy and white.

 

I do not doubt that you have interpreted Masterminds original post that way but, in fact, it is to show guys like you that Obama's presidency has been on par with other President's whom we have historically considered successful.

 

You conveniently ignore the fact that african american politicions including Jesse Jackson and other prominant religous were pushing for the stiffer sentences because of the epidemic of crack that was sweeping through black neighborhoods mostly distributed and sold by black gangs. The reason given AT THE TIME was that while both crack and powder were bad...crack was MUCH more associated with violence than powder...particularily the violence sweepoing the poorer black areas of towns.
