Why did Reagan raise the debt ceiling 18 times?

Because the cons wouldn't be happy if Obama cured cancer and brought about world peace. Plus, they idolize Reagan, for some reason, and believe he did no wrong. Besides, Congress actually raises the debt limit, not the President.

In the twisted mind of a con it is never their fault. Bush left us $5 Trillion in debt. Obama spent $5 Trillion trying to stop a depression, which he did.

If Bush didn't spend like a drunken sailor and give all hi buddies free rides none of that $10 Trillion would have had to be spent. We could have Obamacare up and running, we could have invested in new technology. I don't even want to talk about Sylindra.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
