why do people wait for a bloke to die before they list all the bad things he did? Would you have said these things before he died? If so, why didn't you?

In retrospect, it's painfully obvious that the Alzheimer's was already starting to develop while he was in office. If he'd had any integrity, he'd have done a Charlton Heston. So yes, I think it's appropriate to point out that his policies ultimately caused a lot of harm. We (Americans) are still paying for the whole "deregulation" fiasco; look at the Enron thing, which happened quite recently but is in fact directly traceable to Reaganism.
