You have to remember that inflation was raging when he took office. Home loans were 17% interest. He did a lot to quell inflation by inspiring the country. Firing the air traffic controllers had all of the blue collar non-government workers cheering in the streets.
As I remember, the way it happened, it was a compromise with the democrats to a tax increase and future spending cuts. Of course the cuts never came. Many of the tax increases came as the result of "closing loopholes". Does anybody else remember when you could deduct all credit card interest, auto loan interest, and all personal loan interest. That was one of the "loopholes" that was eliminated.
The democrats have been pushing for elimination of the home loan interest deduction saying Europe doesn't have that deduction. Well, they live in tiny apartments too. Elimination of the that deduction would kill the housing industry in this country. My first home loan was 8.25% (1974). Second was 10.125% (1978). Third was 8.25%(1986). Fourth was 6.25% (1993) Deducting that interest allowed me to afford a house and that sucker has been paid for almost a decade now.

Perhaps. But certainly not when compared to what we currently have in the White House! The current vermin in chief makes Jimmy Carter' rein look good!
BTW I don't think it was Reagan that "raided taxes" (what ever that means), I think it was actually Congress! Another reason NOT to elect Cruz or Kasinc or Hillery or any of the other Congress critters that are running for President.

I rather STRONGLY suspect that a judge will immediately throw this case out. Besides being an obvious case of political prosecution, Fields can't personally identify her "assailant" and since she waited several days before making a police report and AFIK never went to a doctor or hospital, she has NO proof that her bruise was caused by the alleged incident.
It's more and more obvious that both the left and the extreme right are both doing EVERYTHING and ANYTHING possible to derail the Trump campaign.

In my humble opinion, Reagan was the greatest POTUS in my lifetime. (Don't ask how many Presidents I've lived through, but it's a large number.) Why do I think that? Because he was the last President to truly understand that business and government must coexist. He felt the same when it came to Democrats and Republicans.
The current guy believes he's the only one who knows what everybody wants and needs. Oddly enough, it's what he wants that's best for everyone.

Reagan had a democratic congress to deal with. He could have vetoed everything or negotiated with them to get some things he wanted and give some things to them that they wanted. That's the way government is supposed to work.
This current incompetent fool has tried to do everything with presidential decrees rather than make deals with the republican congress.

Often times, things are done in an administration that the next administration gets blamed for the effects. When Reagan took over, inflation was through the roof and the economy was in malaise. He got things going again.
Carter's solution to high inflation and slow economy was to go on national tv and lecture the American people. Carter used to be the worst president ever. But, now he's #2.

Roadie Obama's foreign policy is to give everything the other country wants and expect nothing in return. He's been trying to destroy the USA for over 7 years now.
