That's not spin. That's silliness. Inflation prevented Carter's borrowing. Nobody wanted bonds.Cannonpointer » 18 Feb 2014 4:05 pm » wrote:
That post was to goofy, not to you, and no - we cannot. We cannot - Goofy REFUSES to pick one set of data.
Goofy insists on leaving his options open. He wants to be able to argue 1976 - 1980 when the numbers favor him that way, and use 1977 - 1981 when the numbers favor him THAT way. I insist on using only one set of numbers - and he gets to pick (see the OP, as I predicted Goofy's tricks in advance).
And yes, I CAN find a way to spin it - already have.
Reagan had a couple of trillion borrowed dollars - almost two thirds of the economy he inherited - to fall back on. When you are stealing food out of the mouths of the unborn, it's not that hard to produce some good numbers.
