Let us not forget his destruction of the FDA. On his first day, he fired nearly all the people at the FDA, by the second day Aspartame was now accepted for human consumption and later Glyphosate was ‘safe’. Rummy tried for near 10 years to get it approved for Best Foods, but after Reagan fired all the scientists that opposed it, it passed with flying colors. The FDA is no more than a rubber-stamp for big Pharma, it’s why we see all these ads for ‘meds’ that have more side effects than positive effects. Yes, he did everything you mention as well. His rah, rah, rah USA was the beginning of the end for sure. His entire FP in the ME is what has gotten us where we’re at, 240 dead Marines back then. Then there are the boneheads who still today worship the idiot. The ‘great conservative’ gave us our first billion dollar budget, with a massive debt to feed the MIC. Interest rates in the range of 12-15 percent for home loans fed the decline as well. His trickle-down nonsense and privatization caused his economic advisor (Stockman) to ditch him. Lessons un-learned. In the end, he found out that he was just a figure head and his near death experience kept his mouth shut…while they used his persona facade. It also showed just how easily manipulated the US public really is. Recall what was to be a harbinger of our future, re: Bill Casey…“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” This was also when PSA’s were no longer required, nor were the truth in advertising rules and PBS was infiltrated by corporate money. By his second admin, Rummy, Cheney and GHWB were in full control. Yes, sir…quite the legacy.
