Obviously, Reagan was not president in 1980, when GDP growth peaked. His policies did not take effect until around '82, where it looks like the growth rate drops sharply, rebounds a bit, then goes into decline. Reagan claimed he would make things better. "Morning in America" looks more like a swift march toward darkness.golfboy » 17 Feb 2014 6:19 pm » wrote: I'm sorry, can you tell us all why you're talking Nominal GDP, and what Reagan policies lead you to this claim that he is responsible for GDP ever since 1980?
