But it seems Reagan did whatever he wanted even with a democratic house the entire time and democratic senate for parts of it. Didn’t anyone question these bills ever? I don’t get it. It seems like what Reagan wanted, Reagan got from the congress. How is that possible????? And why have we kept everything for 50 years????? It’s breathtaking to see OP after OP saying Reagan did this and Reagan did that but no opposition. Absolutely frightening to be honest.
