Newsweek summarized the national mood when it wrote in 1981 that Reagan "inherits the most dangerous economic crisis since Franklin Roosevelt took office 48 years ago." This shows you how biased the media has become in the past quarter century -- they would NEVER say this today.

TRUE!
in fact, if "JC, the peanut man" was leaving office, the mainSLIME media would say the economy was TOTALLY the GOP's fault!

This is a lesson the boyz over at the Federal Reserve ought to learn. It's high taxes that cause inflation and not a hot economy.

Lefties always bring up that Carter paid down the deficit when he was President, as if that matters to someone paying gigantic interest rates on mortgages.
To: wagglebee
Oh they'd say that today if a Democrat took over.

Or not being able to pay a mortgage because of the double-digit unemployment that had gripped the country.

Oh yeah. If there was 0% unemployment, every person lived in a paid-off house, had a years salary in savings and zero debt, the media would still say it was the worst economy ever.

Reaganomic was repeated at the age of 20. What do you think drove all the various Bush Taxcuts? But of course the knee jerk hysteric Bush haters on the Freeper Fringes cannot be bothered with a little thing factual reality.

What's up with this subscriber crap at the WSJ? I wanted to read the entire article and send it to some "I love Jimmy Carter" liberal friends of mine.

Oh by the way. Considerably women were in the work force in 1969. Are your numbers adjusted for the exanded workforce?
Oh of course not. That would wreck the spin line.

But of course the knee jerk hysteric Bush haters on the Freeper Fringes cannot be bothered with a little thing factual reality. Tax cuts that were intended to push demand. Reganomics is supply side, not the stuff that W is doing. Remember that the next time you buy gas. RIP Reaganomics.
