Even David Stockman, Reagan's Budget Director and the architect of tax-cuts-for-the-rich, trickle-down economic theory, has been saying for years it was misguided and wrecked the economy.

Reagan ballooned the national debt and greatly widened the income gap. (See for yourself in the charts).

During Reagan's presidency, the federal debt nearly tripled in nominal terms, from $738 billion to $2.1 trillion. This led to the U.S. moving from the world's largest international creditor to the world's largest debtor nation.

I have no idea what you're trying to say about Kennedy.

As for "the second best president" — surely you don't mean Reagan. While I agree he had an great personality and was as likeable as they come, the country is still suffering from his policies.

And then there was the corruption.

The presidency of Ronald Reagan was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any U.S. president. Wikipedia
