  • Mo Rocca does some digging into the Reagan wit and uncovers a treasure trove of jokes - many written by the man himself - in a very humorous look back on a politician who always had a one-liner at hand.

      Andrew Heydt What collapse? Are you talking about 2008?! I believe the proper leftwing narrative is that Bush caused the crash with his deregulation not Reagan, unless your talking about some other small recession. In reality however, the housing bubble that was created by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA loans that came in under Clinton is what caused the 08 crash, not deregulation. And he ruined the country?! Yeah its been completely ruined since the 80s. Thats hilarious. You, my simple little friend, are a dumb little liberal puppet that believes whatever nonsense some wackos are telling you.

      Reagan ran for president campaigning that he’d eliminate the national debt and would remove the departments of education and energy. Yes, you read that right. The debt had come to 800 billion in 200 years. Before he had left it had more than doubled. His plan was to eliminate unnecessary programs and spending. Welfare? He gave a famous speech citing the Chinese proverb “if you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for the rest of his life” Then he cut both welfare and education. Government health programs? Slash. He continued doing this until anything that remotely benefited the common man had been ruined. Then he proceeded to spend many times more than what he removed on military. Ludicrous projects like spending billions renovating obsolete WWII battleships that had no purpose and are being dismantled as we speak. He was an actor and the American people loved it.
