Check the records of Reagan's time. He had Democrat controlled Congress for all his years with only one Congressional session being of mixed Congress. Democrats held the House of Representatives and Republican's held the Senate. Then fully back to the Democrats for the rest of Regan's term.

So.... It's NOT Reagan's fault..... because he had a Democratic controlled congress..


BUT it IS Obama's fault even though he has had a Republican controlled House of Representatives since 2010????? AND a Senate minority who VOWED on day one of his presidency to filibuster and block everything Obama did? Care to explain??

Reagon was a conservative and would likely have held his debts closer. But his spending minded Congress just would not hold back for common sense.

Obama was, and is, for spending and no worry about the debt. He had full Senate support for all but this last two years and his money spending leader of the Senate, Reid, would neither read nor vote on the conservative House offerings. Obama's first two years was complete far left control of the Congress and that is when this high cost medical system was prepared and pushed onto the world. It is said not all of the medical system is yet going and when it does the costs will definitely go up some more. So we have not seen the end of the Obama spending for another 10 years or so.

Seriously? Me thinks your bias is showing..
 
Not my opinion at all. Just use the forum and look up the specs as I did. It is all in print about who and when. Democrats have been working the big debt thing for many years now. Like starting in the 1970's.

Go have a look yourself. Or are you afraid of the facts that don't jive with the political party nonsense. And that means any political party we have around now.

What bias are you referring to?

Bob, I hope it doesn't happen but IF the republicans end up with TOTAL control (Congress, Executive, and Judicial) I want to see how you enjoy what happens to YOU personally. Repubs have the Congress and Supreme Court, all they lack is the Executive branch. You will find, my friend, you have opened your sleeping bag and invited a rattlesnake in.
 
I don't think the Republicans have the Supreme Court. It may look so but in recent years they have gone with the Democrat requests.

It would be nice if they could at least keep the Senate and then they could do as Reid did for so many years. Just ignore the House and nothing gets done.
 
For sure BOB... you like your SS check...??? Your Medicare? Let the GOP gain control of both Houses and the WH.. and watch what happens.. Good luck to you...

The Republicans have done nothing to either of those programs so far. And the SS one was to be a personal choice, not a mandatory one.

For me, the Obama care is higher than before his plan so nothing new there but more charges. I am not sure we have the money to take care of what we have now. Worse was my previous medical program was from my employer. He did not like the sound of Obama care so he stopped tending to our welfare. Instead he promises certain money toward a health care program and beyond that we pay for the rest. We select the insurance companies we wish to work with and after the promised funds are gone, we pay the rest. Which right now is not too much out of my pocket. But our coverage under Obama care is not the same as with my former employer. Right now it is livable but with the comments Obama has made about more to be enacted in a couple years after he is gone. Not sure what that might be or the expenses. Maybe by then the next government, Republican or Democrat, will take over and try to make sense of this mess that Obama has created. It will need completed and fixed or replaced. Half done won't do.

Are you on Obama care yet? If not, the rates are expected to keep going up as reality falls into place for the medical areas and the insurance companies.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the courts were apolitical? They are supposed to save the politicians from themselves and the people from the politicians.
 
It is way too early to even pretend to be the winning candidate. Some mind clearing, or clouding, meetings are soon to start. From these there will be a thinning of the proposed candidates for Republican party. Maybe by spring the remaining few will be available and the appointment by the Republican party as to who will be our real candidate will take place.

Then we will be able to determine if we have a good choice on not.

Will Hillary still be standing, or will someone be able to replace her as Obama did on her last effort?
 
It may be too early for some to discuss who will be the nominees for the presidential run but nevertheless speculation on politics is as much sport as Horse Racing or a round of golf. I think Donald Trump is good for the Republican Party in the same way Tiger Woods
was good for golf when he turned pro. I like what Mark Cuban said of Trump, he said I like Donald Trump, I don't care what he says or what he stands for, he says what's on his mind and that's a rarity in politics in either party. I agree with him. Politics is too much choreographed. Who knows, Trump may even be another Ronald Reagan without the cowboy gear. At our age we ought to look at politics as a game where either side could win. After all, it is our children who will run the country. Cheers, sports fans.
