What would Reagan do?

What would Ronald Reagan do?… Here we are quickly falling into the second Great Depression of the last hundred years. Not a bad time to stop and think. What do we do now? 'Publicans, before making major decisions, like to ask “What would Ronald Reagan do?” Surely he would do the exact opposite of what Franklin Roosevelt did, right? He would stick with small government principles (like Herbert Hoover did) and watch unemployment go up from one in twenty Americans to one in four (like Herbert Hoover did). No. Not quite. If you look at reality, and not at right wing delusions, you find that Ronald Reagan greatly admired FDR and voted for him 4 times. Ronald Reagan was a Democrat back then, and he had his reasons. Were Ronnie alive today, he would do EXACTLY what Barack Obama is doing.
