He started the current "religious conservative" movement - and I will NEVER forgive him for that.He implemented unbridled de-regulation of the markets that lead to the numerous 'bubbles' that keep plaguing our country and the mentality that "greed is good".
He's the one who said "we're gonna run this country like a corporation". Yeah, where the ones of the bottom rungs of the ladder were dispensable - usually minorities.
He's the one who planted the idea of "tickle-down economics" with tax cuts for the wealthy. He's now entrenched as the god and idol of the wealthy.
He's the one who came out against and planted the idea of how bad "socialized medicine" would be.
His economic policies were the contributing factors to the current federal deficit problems.
The only positive thing that came out of the Reagan's presidency was his foreign policies - which helped to bring an end to the Cold War.
The legacy he left behind is not one to be proud of. But again, love him or hate him - his presidency was a memorable one.
