think what you like, but the facts are that we enjoyed the longest term of growth during peacetime in history...interest rates at or above 20% when he took office and unemployment as great as today...by cutting tax rates we saw the largest jump of revenue come into the feds by far while he was in office..deficit spending went up with both houses controlled by democrats that refused to balance the budget even while controlling the purse strings of the nation(remember a president can only sign into law what has been sent to him by congress) just like under george h. bush, there was supposed to be 2 dollars cut from spending for every dollar of tax increase(we all saw what the democrats being a bunch of liars did to the deficit then and probably going to do again) i'll take the 80's anytime as compared to now. as merle haggard said "back when the country was strong"
