Yeah, everyone knows that causality has a hard limit of 25 years!

It's a ruse to imply that Reagan's policies don't play a role in this. GP didn't claim that he's exclusively responsible, just that correcting those mistakes would be a good place to start.

Do you think that kids aren't thrown in jail every single day for war-on-drug offenses simply because Reagan was president almost 30 years ago?

That's my point. Regan has been dead for a while, he can't fix things now. If you don't like how things are going, blame the current people in power.

Nobody asked a dead man to fix things. GP asked us/the govt to fix the problems the dead man created.
