I don't have the evidence at my finger tips, but I remember that he changed some mental illness's status so that they weren't eligible for federal assistance.

And yes, he did cut some of the federal budget for state run institutions forcing states to pony up more, which they didn't.

Ronald Reagan was one of the worst presidents in the 20th century, I can't figure out for the life of me why people loved that lying treasonous dick wad so much.
