mhaze,

I understand perfectly what Reagan was saying.
It's you who as usual just does not get it.
Yes he was saying - less government control, and
that is what the Voice is asking. Not to have
government make all the decisions on their behalf
without their consultation. They want to be heard
and listened to.

Get it now?

Foxy,

The voice is at best another layer to government creating delays and increased cost. Not what Ronald would ever have had in mind.

" Not to have government make all the decisions on their behalf without their consultation."

But the government will still make all the decisions. Isn't that what the faithful Yes-keteers keep telling us? So, according to Foxy's screwy thinking, the government will make all the decisions but won't make any of the decisions. There's that double-think again.

What the government will do we have no way of knowing.
However if they are forced to consult and listen
things just may change. And all the Voice is asking for
is to be consulted and heard. A simple request. Don't
make decisions on their behalf without their consultation.
It's pretty straight forward.

That A grade nincompoop and B grade actor, Ronald Reagan blew a reportedly, conservative, $60 billion on his hair brained Strategic Defence Initiative, Star Wars for short, with absolutely no result. Some say Reagan watched the movie 27 times and came to conclusion that he was the new Luke Skywalker, fighting the evil Darth Vader (Mikhail Gorbachev). His other claim to fame is he was the supporting actor to a chimpanzee in the movie, 'Bedtime for Bonzo', Reagan played the part of Bonzo the fool, which he carried on into his Presidency. The bloke was a complete idiot, he possibly even makes Donald Trump look intelligent, if that's at all possible! These nut jobs have their supporters on the Forum.

poor Paul. He lived through the Reagan era and completely misunderstood it.

As to SDI it was the best strategic system never built. It played an instrumental roll in hastening the downfall of the USSR (although Paul probably laments the fall of the worker's paradise).
