They gave him that imperial funeral ,it was just a TAD over the top  unless you are a Roman emperor.

He created the mess we are in today  as you pointed out. He did not solve the Savings and Loan crisis obviously.

He was rabidly anti gay  withholding research money to help fight HIV/AIDS.

He crated the welfare mother riding around in a Cadillac myth. As well as validating the idea to conservatives that if you cant afford it then you dont deserve it  like health care .

on and on

At least he didnt puke on anyone.

Bush did that.

I think that was the most memorable thing he did during his presidency. Well besides invading Iraq, and putting ideas in his insane son's head.

Iran-Contra

Illegally selling missiles to Iran and illegally giving the illegal money to the Contra terrorists (illegally).

Did I mention there was some illegality involved?

I think his *crowning* achievement was to lay the groundwork (through deregulation, massive tax cuts on the rich and corporations, killing good programs, union busting, telling people that government was the problem, etc.) for our failed economic system and the ever shrinking middle class.

But yes, the Iran stuff was also terrible.

Reagan to me next to Bush, Nixon and Johnson was the worst President EVER.  Conservatives never talk about the things Reagan has faulted on and how much impact it's had on todays economy and society.  He started the welfare stigma.  

If I was a conservative I would disregard EVERY SINGLE one of those accusations... wait, conservatives do.  hmm...
