Ronald Reagan's legacy [updated 5 Feb]

Sorry, folks. I don't have affectionate memories of Reagan's presidency.

"Hi, I'm Ronald Reagan. I'm not Jimmy Carter."

Recalled phrases: "voodoo economics", "Iran-Contra".

Marine barracks bombed in Beirut.

Economic legacy: "It's the economy, stupid!" - that Bush I inherited.

This is what the current crop of Republicans promise us?

If the Dems can't win this year, there's no hope! Time to move to Canada - if they'll take us!

Stop the madness!

[Update]: a loyal readers notes that the Reagan Presidency was,
"an era chiefly memorable for the poverty rate doubling and soaring national debt"
Thanks for the reminder, Tedthecat85!
