40th POTUS, Ronald Reagan (1981 – 1988)
Mr. Reagan truly desired or aspired
to be the president. He spent years trying to accomplish this
objective. Finally. One day. It happened. He got himself elected. He was
inaugurated on the very same day I started working for the United
States Customs Service, now known as ICE (Immigration and Customs
Enforcement).
He wasn't too keen on funding
health, education and welfare or social programs like that. Just because
Jesus said “The poor ye have always with you”, that doesn't mean those
in poverty should be a priority budget item.
He wanted to privatize functions like the postal service.
He was really enthusiastic about space and defense programs. But when the Iran Contra Affair
occurred, he told the American people he didn't know a thing about it.
He has since departed this life but - if speaking honestly - I was
never fully convinced he didn't know. Too late now to split hairs over
it.
All of America is glad - whether we
agree with his decisions or not - that he survived an attempt on his
life. The shooter wasn't even politically motivated. The idiot guy was
just trying to impress a girl. A girl he didn't even know! God spared
Mr. Reagan's life. Amen!
That's my recall/wrap-up of MY opinions and views of Reaganomics and his policies.
