Ronald Reagan Dies: Hell Immediately Faces Massive Budget Deficit

Ah, the Reagan years:
• Massive and unnecessary defense build up at the expense of roads, technology and schools (so much for the conservative limited government agenda)
• The largest deficits in history leaving years of red ink that you and I and our children must deal with
• Loaded up our Supreme Court with right-wing wackos
• Bursting real-estate bubbles
• Fiendish tax avoidance by the richest Americans
• The savings and loan scandals
• The foul Iran-Contra scandal (why is lying about oral sex worse than lying about negotiating to keep our hostages under the gun in Iran until becoming President and then trading arms for hostages -- other people would call that treason)
• And a general, distasteful hubris that defines the term “ugly American” worldwide
