Rate the Presidents, Installment #40: Ronald Reagan

[OSR stands with Israel]

4 stars, he reconized that the Soviet Union was 10 years from collapsing if you put pressure on them which he did due to increasing military presence in europe,star wars, and putting more missiles in Europe. The economy was catastrophic when he took office due too sky high taxes and too much regulations and he deregulated the economy(not completely though like Bush JR did)  which caused the economy to jump start again and 16 million jobs were created and unemployment went from 10.8% to 5.4% when he left office. Also inflation went from 14% to 4.7% when he left office which let Americans have a better life.Hes not a 5 star president due to the dramatic increase in the debt though

And Oh yah liberals before you mention that wages were stagnant during Reagan's term , median wages increased by 4000 during the Reagan years after no growth in the carter years, and with inflation dropping as much as it did that wage increase meant more

That's not a 4000 increase. That's an absolute $4000 increase, which is a pretty meaningless figure.

meaningless how, inflation declined by over 9%

I'll be interested to see how many people who give Reagan 1 star will give Clinton 5.

Which will be pretty ironic as you can argue that Bill Clinton from 1994-2000 was more right wing then Reagan
