Nice strawman. Reagan growth outpaced inflation, people went to work, and inflation adjusted income increased. None of those happened for Carter.Cannonpointer » 18 Feb 2014 12:42 am » wrote:
Your first link verifies every critique I made of reagan - he looks worse than Carter, ESPECIALLY when you take into account that Carter droped our debt to GDP ratio instead of hiking it as reagan did.
Your second link, while I ACCEPT it, confuses me. How can a baby hating big borrower like reagan , who eats tomorrow's baby food today and peddles ketchup as a vegetable in school lunches - how can a guy like that reduce inflation, when he borrowed so much **** money that it amounted to almost two thirds of the entire economy he inherited? He inherited what - a 3.2 trillion dollar economy? Then he borrows 1.8 trillion?
He was the first guy since WWII who did not drive the debt to gdp ratio down. Only one president has done so since, and that was Billy Clinton - twice.
How can you defend a big spending, big borrowing liberal who federalized education, against a small borrowing, government shrinking peanut farmer who committed adultery, but only in his heart?

We're not talking about Reagan's other policies. We're talking about which one was better economically. It's Reagan by a mile. This is not something that can be disputed.
