HW was able to walk back “Voodoo Economics.”
Nope he lost to Reagan, but Reagan was forced to accept HW as his veep.
He may have shut his mouth about it, but philosophically, he never walked away from it. George HW Bush was the anti-Reagan. In less than two years, he caused an entire nation to abandon the Party of Reagan. His words said 'No new taxes', but his actions said otherwise.
