What's going on with Reagan? Did the government shut down twice for less than a day each time? Or is that supposed to be no shutdowns under Reagan?
Reagan was an asshole. Tldr: the first one happened because he vetoed the spending bill, the second and third happened because he was trying to pressure congress over progressive policies he didn't agree with and relented on the days that the shutdowns happened
