Pres. Reagan and AIDS

Well, at least this movie did not propagate the lie that Reagan never mentioned AIDS until 1987 (something author Larry Kramer has stated on numerous occasions). But why did the movie have to give the impression that Reagan reduced AIDS spending in 1986? Why does the gay left keep trying to vilify this man? Notice at the end of the movie they CORRECTLY state that Reagan first mentioned AIDS in 1985 (most gay activists lie about this and say he never mentioned it until 1987--a Dartmouth professor still insists that this is the case) but then the movie states that Reagan's proposed 1986 budget cut AIDS spending by 11 percent. Yet they neglect to point out that Reagan's ACTUAL budget (not "proposed") INCREASED spending on AIDS every year he was in office. In 1985 federal AIDS spending was $205 million. In 1986 it was $508 million. That is more than DOUBLE the previous year's. So WHY did this movie end telling us about PROPOSED AIDS spending under Reagan? Why didn't it just tell us what the ACTUAL SPENDING was in 1986? Why must they rely on playing with the facts??
Here are the FACTS about Reagan and AIDS:

As part of his policy of supposed inaction, Ronald Reagan signed $5.73 billion in U.S.-government anti-AIDS outlays. That’s $10.6 billion in today’s dollars. Indeed, Reagan’s signature inaugurated federal action on AIDS research and treatment.

Federal anti-AIDS spending grew dramatically throughout Reagan’s term. The $8 million that Reagan approved in 1982 rocketed to $2.3 billion in 1989. The average annual increase in federal expenditures on HIV/AIDS under Reagan was 128.92 percent. If he had been happy to watch gays succumb to AIDS, he surely could have kept that growth rate somewhere south of 125 percent.
