Sick and Tired of Schumer and Others Continually Lying about Tax Cuts and Debt

I feel like I am beating a dead horse on tax cuts, economic results and debt but since reporters won’t report the truth here goes:
I get sick and tired of listening to Chuck Schumer lying about tax cuts. He complains endlessly about how it will add to the deficit and how it would jeopardize Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Not once during Obama's eight years did he c
omplain about massive spending increases, slow growth and higher taxes, which yielded almost $10 trillion in new debt. .In fact, he supported everything. What makes me sicker is that almost all reporters just repeat Schumer's talking points as if they are factual. They repeat the outright lies over and over again, and then after indoctrinating the readers with pure garbage, they take a poll of fewer than 1,000 people, skewed with more Democrats than Republicans, to show that the people aren't in favor of reform. Then they run the poll results as if they are somehow factual news. 
Reporters should be truly ashamed of themselves for pushing an agenda instead of ever even considering reporting actual results of previous tax cuts.
President Reagan inherited a disaster from President Carter in 1981, with double-digit inflation, double-digit unemployment and double-digit interest rates. The first thing Reagan had to do was wring out the high inflation and interest rates. In January 1981, when Reagan took office, there were 89.8 million jobs. Reagan then cut taxes from the abrasive 70%, to 28%. The economy took off, revenues to the government doubled instead of fell, and by January 1989, when Reagan left office there were 105.7 million jobs, which was a phenomenal result.
