Silly me. I consider TRIPLING the national debt an being the first post-WWII Resident to grow the debt-GDP ratio an aspect of the ECONOMY. Hey, try this: Pretend it was Carter that tripled the debt. See it now? Yeah. You see it now. Good on ya....

Yet he's nearly added more to the debt than the two of them combined. We're comparing Carter and Reagan's economies not their policies or spending....

Here is my quot...

Are we talking about today or the Reagan and Carter presidencies? I'm not defending anything. I'm forcing you to defend your OP. The most fun thing is knowing you know you can't defend it anymore and watching you bring up all matter of unrelated topics....
