The Reagan program is not working because the program is not fair - and, just as important, because the people themselves know it is not fair.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Expanding a failing, big-government program that reduces flexibility for the states and traps generations of Americans in dependency is not consistent with the kind of conservative solutions that Reagan sought during his terms as governor of California and president of the United States.
Reagan didn't put anything off the table, if he felt it was for the good of the American people to tweak the tax system.
It's time for conservative Americans to do what Reagan did.
Reagan cut through irrational federal regulations to allow children to live with their parents, where they could receive care that would cost the taxpayer one-sixth as much as institutional care. By contrast, Obamacare has added thousands of pages of bureaucratic regulations and will cost the federal government untold billions.
So, Mr. President, what is wrong with the fair employment practice bill?
Reagan's approach will achieve one of the basic goals of the conservative: Things remain basically the same. The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, or even a little poorer.
A long time ago, I watched President Reagan repeat a few simple points about the benefits for everyone of lower taxes, light regulations, and limited government. Successful policies are sold by repetition, not unrelated tangents.
Throughout his life, Ronald Reagan believed America is capable of great things and its people could and would lead the way if left unburdened by taxation and regulation.
I watched Reagan turn around the country by lowering taxes and controlling spending, and I'm applying the same principles.
Reagan proved deficits don't matter.
