Well, Burny the ships, if he is going to be credited for this, why not be credited for garnering in, and look up the definition if you don't know it already, that?
He sold the rest of the world on the American Dream. (Whatever that is in your book)He garnered in shameless greed under the name of yuppy-ism.
Dig?
Another thread about Reagan off all people. May as well have a thread about Chester Arthur.
Pointing out a couple of things. Congress controls the purse not the President. Congress. Congress. Congress. That would be the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress spends the money whether Congress has it or not.
The real story concerning the escalation of the war on drugs during the 1980's is fascinating. Do a Google search of Tip O'Neill and Len Bias. That will take you back to the roots of the Narcotics Penalties and Enforcement Act. To jog a few memories, Tip O'Neill, from Boston, was Speaker of the House during most of the Reagan Administration and Len Bias was a basketball player who had signed with the Celtics. But enough about Reagan era politics.
Getting back to Chester Arthur, did he suck or what? Don't even think about getting me started on Woodrow Wilson. He was really pathetic.

Wow, so there is a Reagan storehouse out there full of yuppies?

Boogertime.
If Jesse Helms liked Reagan, what of it? What does it prove? What does it demonstrate regarding the Reagan presidency?

You are such a goof. Didn't you ever garner in the new year with your friends? Or hear of garnering in a new age or century? Or garner support? I guess not. By the way, you give the definition of the noun, not the verb. You do know about verbs?

Duh, look at the def I posted. Transitive verb. Sheesh.

Ahem, you are using the noun here, silly. I finally get it. You don't really believe Reagan was a great guy or prez: you are a jokester with a dark sense of humor. I am so relieved.
Oh hey, by the way, Burny, since you admit you know of the transitive verb property of the word garner, then why did you use the noun form? You are a hoot. A veritable riot. Really, I thank you for your humor.

Aww jeez. Now you are just pissing me off. Where in the hell did I use the noun version of the word garner? You said Reagan "garnered in shameless greed under the name of yuppy-ism."
Well hell if he was garnering greed, where in the blazes was he garnering it, in a fookin storehouse? Sarcasm, dig? To blame the presidency for whatever social trends were present during the 80s is to give him a lot more power than he had. That is the point
Can a single man be blamed for the actions of society at large? Did Reagan act as a yuppie-booster? Did Reagan sign the Great Yuppie Act of 1982? Do you see what I am getting at?
Burn-out
Are you (the country) better now than 8 years ago? If you say yes, you need to put some new batteries in your calculator and get better reading glasses.
I sure am!
