reaganomics

Economic plan developed by President Ronald "Bonzo" Reagan in the 1980s based on some squiggles drawn on a napkin. Based on the entirely logical presumption that less money equals more money.

"Hey, Ron, let's lower taxes on the rich, cut funding for education/healthcare/anything important, then spend so much on useless crap like missiles that we end up in debt for the rest of our lives and those damn Boomers can't have their social security."
"Huh?"
"Good choice, Ron. We'll call it Reaganomics."
"Uh, OK."

Reaganomical

Any socio-economical policy that benefits the wealthy or expands corporate power while harming ordinary working class people

The union went on strike so the company tried to be Reaganomical by firing the striking workers and replacing them with illegal immigrants who were only paid half as much.

Reaganomics

economic strategy in which the tax burden is shifted away from big corporations and the wealthy and put on the middle class while dramatically increasing spending on things like military hardware thus creating massive budget deficits which are later used as an excuse to cut funding for social programs

Reaganomics was a devious plot to destroy the middle class and usher in a new era of neo-feudalism.

Ronald Wilson Reagan

THE MOST OVERRATED PRESIDENT EVER! His reign (1981-1989) was marked by a huge shift in wealth from the middle class up to the rich. Reaganomics was the nuclear bomb dropped on the middle class in the class warfare battle. Reagan was very anti-union and during his reign working class wages fell as C.E.O. pay soared.Reagan cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy, by almost half, shifting the tax burden to the middle class. The resulting reduction in revenue, along with an insane peace-time military build up, lead to a tripling of our national debt.

Reagan also sold weapons toSaddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran War and helped establish the Taliban in Afganistan to fight the Soviet Union.

The G.O.P. idolizes Ronald Wilson Reagan and want to continue his destruction of the American dream. The lasting legacy of our 40th president is: reganomics, the huge national debt and the rob-the-poor-to-feed-the-rich policies the GOP holds so dearly 20 years later. So many repubitards worship Ronald Reagan like a god it's no wonder they never get endorsements from unions, teachers or anyone with any sense of compassion.

Reaganomics

Reverse Robin-Hood:
Essentially, steal from the poor, give to the rich. Enacted by a senile puppet in the 80's in the height of his delirium.

Tax Collector: That's ok, Mr. Trump, you can go, we'll just go shake down that hobo over there.
Trump: God, I LOVE Reaganomics!

Ravanelli

To celebrate a football goal in the style of Middlesbrough & Derby County's former relegation-bagging silver-haired Italian warrior Fabrizio Ravanelli, by lifting up the front of your shirt and putting it over your head, and proceeding to run around with your arms out. Can also be used outside of a footballing context.

"Why did Maximillian leave so early?"

"He was thrown out by the bouncer for doing a Ravanelli. It was rank."

"He is a fat bastard."

"A very fat bastard."

Reaganosis

alternative name for alzheimers, a disease from which Ronald Reagan suffered

Diseases are often named for famous people who had them, ALS is commonly refered to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, so it would seem appropriate to call alzheimers Reaganosis.
