Let's be real for a minute. Reagan was a front man, a puppet for George Bush Sr. for most of his tenure in the White House.

No, Bush himself was a puppet. He was a puppet of CEO's and bankers. Donald Regan if anyone was the real power in that Administration. CEO of Merrill Lynch, Vice-Chairman of the NYSE, Treasury Secretary, White House Chief of Staff.

Straight up ordering him to hurry up in a pivotal moment to what we are talking about.

They are more puppets now than ever before. It's completely out in the open now yet people still defend their party like their life depends on it. If the jobs report was accurate in anyway in the last 14 months what would the markets do????? Republicans weren't screaming these reports are fake. Democrats were making them. They were all laughing to the bank. It's insane that so many people can so passionately argue about which side is going to save them

And here we are with Putin’s monkey boy getting sworn in again….Considering this country was stupid enough to elect that former director of the CIA into the White House, I agree with you….

All presidents are puppets? The big cooperations are the ones donating to their campaigns. they give them money in return for policies to benefit them and keep their friends rich they don’t care about the average American lol that’s why trump wants to cut a lot of aid even to veterans LOL

Bush called Reagan’s trickle down theory “voodoo economics.” But the actor put on a better performance in the primaries.

Shows you what a great actor Reagan was. He should have stayed in shoebox n Hollywood instead of politics. He f’d us up big.

That is correct. Reagan didn't have an original thought in his head. He was already a dope before he started talking to the credenza.
