When has a Republican ever made life better in America. Trump could not handle a pandemic, and actually lost jobs in a four-year term. So many Americans had their entire lives turned upside down. Sure, gas prices were down, the entire country was shut down, nobody went anywhere, and dealt with problems that the country and the world had never dealt with, but everyone knew could happen. Trump's answer to dismantle the entire program.
George Bush, who can forget the financial meltdown that happened on his watch, along with an unwanted war when he decided to go after Iraq and bring democracy to the middle east. That failed miserably, cost 1000s of American lives. The financial meltdown tossed millions of Americans out of their homes, and wiped trillions away from the working class.
The Republican solution a massive bailout to the banks, who kept the money, gave themselves bonuses, and lay off millions of American workers.
Raegen, who can forget his criticism of Carter, the unemployment rate was 6.8 %, in just two years of Raegen's voodoo economics, the unemployment rate was 10.5 %, and inflation was hitting 22 %. Raegen's next move to take the Social Security surplus fund to pay for his massive deficits and turn the Social Security fund into an IOU for future beneficiaries. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, throw in the Iran Contra scandal, 279 dead marines in Lebanon from a massive bombing. Even worse his administration had almost 300 indictments of his administration for corruption.
Only Trump's administration has topped Raegen for corruption and people going to jail.
