Reagan is iconic now, but it's a shame that more people don't know the truth. He was the father of many of the problems that we have today. He was anti-environment in a big way.. he said greed is good, promoting big cars. He took the solar panels off of the Whitehouse that Carter put up. I'll go further...by rolling back Carter's plan to get off of middle-eastern oil by the year 2000, (Carter set the goal of 25 years in 1975) he helped us continue to pour billions of American dollars into the Middle East. The Bin Laden family made their billions in the construction trade. It was only because of oil riches that places like Saudi Arabia could afford to employ Bin Laden's firm to build infrastructure and palaces and the like. So, indirectly, Reagan helped empower Osama Bin Laden who inherited many millions from he family. Reagan said "a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at?" when, as Governor, he was pushing for the destruction of the Redwood Forests of California at the behest of the logging interests. But the worst of Reagan's "crimes" was what he did with his "voodoo economics" (as the senior Bush referred to it). that started the downward spiral and huge deficits. He helped the rise of the religious flakes that still haunt our politics.
