And let's not forget how the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy spread lies to fool Americans! On 8 of the 10 key economic variables examined, the American economy performed better during the Reagan years than during the pre- and post-Reagan years. Real economic growth averaged 3.2 percent during th...

Nice strawman. Reagan growth outpaced inflation, people went to work, and inflation adjusted income increased. None of those happened for Carter. http://www.davemanuel.com/median-household-income.php We're not talking about Reagan's other policies. We're talking about which one was better economi...

Oh, goodie. Talking points. Rhetoric instead of data....

Gosh, I hate to get in the way of your ignorance and psychosis again with actual reality. Let's go back to 1982, in many ways the bleakest year since the Depression. The economy had emerged severely damaged by the stagflation of the 1970s. Americans' confidence, both in government and in the ec...

Not at all. Well, some. He didn't exactly get off to a flying start. I'm also not giving him credit for things that were put in place before he arrived. But, we've already been over that stuff.

In reagan's world, the catsup on a school lunch hamburger counted as a "vegetable." He was forever gaming the syste...

You're being a little hard on the gipper there, junior. But at least you are not trying your usual lie about Carter's economy. He handed off a growing, recovering economy - about 3% YOY growth, if recollection serves....

Well, psycho, I was referring to TODAY, when anyone with common sense and knowledge accepts Reagan's achievements. I never, EVER claimed that during every year of his presidency the same consensus existed 30 years ago. Even a moonbat like you could have figured that out on your own....

some say that bushie was the most egregious threat to human civilization by a president, but, not so because the general public was already on to that game…. and that because thanks to raygun, who was the most horrendous presidential threat to human civilization....

Isn't this funny. Why, just a few minutes ago, you were sneering that I was tilting at windmills against monolithic agreement. You were sneering that NO ONE agrees with my premise that Reagan sucked on economics. And suddenly, you are referencing (As usual, with ZERO sourcing) a vast left wing co...
