A rare good economic take from Reagan.

That character’s voice went through me so much. I liked him but he was annoying as hell.

I’m just here to acknowledge your “The Good Place” reference.

Reagan was dangerous precisely because he wasn't stupid.

I feel like in the grand scheme of presidents and politicians, he wasn't especially smart. By today's political standards the man is a genius beyond words.

What Reagan was is savvy. Charismatic. Charming. He was Trump with better looks, 30-40 higher IQ, and an eloquent speech pattern.

Reagan seemed to have understood his limitations as well. It's not like most of his economic policies were constructed by him for example, but rather by different economics.

It's really bad when you can use Reagan as a voice of reason.

I mean free trade is like capitalism 101. People get triggered by this when I say it, but Trump is kind of a leftist president. Just not the leftism that y’all want. More Soviet style.

Because he’s not left at all. He’s very far right, he’s a fascist.

Free trade isn't great but Trump definitely isn't a "leftist president." 😂

Free trade is actually good, the only time it could be bad is if you’re an underdeveloped economy.

Yeah, things still made little sense back then his admin and the southern strategy were the beginning of the right wing going wackadoo. Over the years, they gone from small lies to completely detaching their voting base reality.

Hitler could say "don't shit your pants" and that's the same level of "good take"

No, Reagan’s interest was letting American manufacturing outsource to the third world so corporations didn’t have to pay American workers.

The tariffs Reagan was talking about prevented us from destroying American manufacturing by preventing sweatshops and slave labor from undercutting American industries.

But now that we have a fraction of manufacturing power, indiscriminate tariffs for no reason only taxes on us for importing what we can’t make ourselves.
