    Well you insulted my hero. Not trump! I would consider trump and Reagan as 2 poles on the opposite sides of a sphere. Think north and south pole. Trump is actually more like a virus that caused a genetic mutation. No joke.

    1. I’ve been the employer that hired people to do their job. Trust me, it’s not just taking money in, and laughing all the way to the bank. Every dollar that i saved is another dollar I can sink into the company or pay higher wages. “OH wait, company xyz offered you 10% more? I can match that” . I need a buffer. I was not a “capitalist class” . How many complainers have actually run a business that employed people, and had to meet payroll , and had to meet payroll taxes and keep their employees and customers happy?

    2. I was there when HIV became an issue. We had no idea what caused it, how it spread, or what to do about it. It took some time. I was there!

    3. No Reagan didn’t “laugh” when gay people died. - give me 1 unbiased, verifiable link to substantiate that claim.

    4. I’m very sorry but we are 39 trillion dollars in the hole, as laudable as providing state hospitals may have been, we can not afford it at this time. Find a better way. So, what, we’d be like 44 trillion in debt. Is that the inheritance you want to leave your kids?

    As a business owner I’ve had to balance budgets for decades. I would’ve loved to buy that greatest, tech wizzbang thing; it would save/ make so much money. Sorry. Just cant afford it. Like it or not, the BBB allows companies to fully depreciate an asset in the 1st year (i had to wait decades) freeing up more cash to pay higher wages.

    I hate DJT. He is everything Reagan was not.

    I WON’T ALLOW ANYONE TO SULLY THE NAME OF REAGAN BY ASSOCIATING IT WITH TRUMP TO TRY TO FURTHER THEIR POLITICAL AGENDA! IT IS DISINGENUOUS TO SAY THE LEAST.

    DJT and the maga agenda must be hamstriged, hogtied, disabled, overridden, axed, rendered useless, shutdown, crippled, discombobulated, to say the least.

      You need to take criticism of your favorite politicians less personally. It’s a bad look. I’m not arguing with a cultist who is incapable of seeing reason. I hope you have a good weekend and have a chance to relax and reflect.

        Never took it personally.

        But some “less enlightened people” seem to relish in besmirching Reagan’s name with Trump’s.

        Present company excluded, I’m sure, of course!

        Your cult remark was an ad homenim remark (you might want to go look that up to refresh your memory) .

        Just sayin.

        Now if you meant ad homenim then that you would mean you insulted me because you can’t carry out a logical conversation/ argument.

        If you meant ad hoc that would mean you’re just piling bullshit, because you can’t have a logical conversation.

        You are thoroughly confusing me! Did i insult you because I couldn’t hold a logical conversation, or did you insult me? Did I pile on extraneous bullshit or was that you?

        Honestly, your ad homenim, ad hoc, non sequitur nonsense has me thoroughly confused.

      I’m sorry. My bad.

      I forgot to mention unemployment insurance and workman’s compensation insurance costs.
