Ignoring the fact that inflation adjusted income plummeted during two years of his presidency by more than any time in recorded US history.

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?

How much did GDP increase over that period, and why haven't you ever cited those stats?

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?

Ignoring the huge economic boom while he was president; the 20 million jobs created, the huge boom in GDP and the $4,000 increase in Americans' incomes.
