We're not talking about Reagan's fiscal policies, military, or anything else. Your strawman was your attempting to address the simple point I made about Carter never having inflation lower than GDP growth with those things.Cannonpointer » 18 Feb 2014 3:51 pm » wrote:
Your chart makes Carter look pretty damned good for working families, as regards inflation-adjusted dollars. Thanks for that.
Which part of my post was a straw man? Was it where I said Reagan took over a 3.2 trillion dollar economy and borrowed 1.8 trillion against it?
Was it where I complained that he was known for backwards engineering his numbers, using smoke and mirrors and - dare I use this phrase? - voodoo economics?
And as for your complaint against my cheap shots on side issues, COME ON, MAN. It's me. You know I gotta do what I gotta do.
As for income, it actually decreased during the Peanut Farmer's Presidency.
