Note how it went DOWN when Republicans took control of Congress in the 1994 election? (The President proposes; Congress disposes.)

Glad to see Reagan is leading by far. There is still hope for this country!
(No, not Obama's "hope.")

Oh,,,, I see it now,,, I see that from the end of the Carter years in 80 to the present time of 08 we’ve had 28 years of republicans in office and only 8 years of dems. Maybe that’s why our nation is in such a mess at this time?

the biggest problems with both the liberals and the republicans is that they both like to spend big. it is just that the republicans like to give tax cuts and borrow and spend money the USA does not have, and that the liberals like to tax and spend and spread the wealth to those that never did earn it in the 1st place.

neither one will ever reduce the national deficit and neither cares too either.

Actually I see it as the other way around.Reagan leading shows that the sheeple are still a power to be reckoned with and have learned absolutely nothing.

I think Theodore Roosevelt was one of the best and Ronnie Raygun one of the worst. TR saved the country from Wall Street, Ronnie sold the country to Wall Street. Bush never really was president but took orders for his neocon masters and the evil Cheney.

Teddy R was a big advocate for National Parks. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

Since when am I limited by the choices presented by other people?

TR was not only one of the creators of our National Park system he did a number of things to bring regulation to the monopolists infesting Wall Street, the railroads and the oil industry as the primal Trust Buster. In addition, he, as Governor of New York had the Eire Canal rebuilt as a pusher boat & barge system which is still delivering commercial cargo and recreational boating to this day. Then there was the minor construction project (the Big Dig of its day) the Panama Canal. Oh, not to mention he won the Congressional Medal of Honor (presentation delayed until recently) for leadership and heroism at the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba.

Yeah, TR left his mark on America.
