So I guess Ronald Reagan had nothing to do with the prosperity of the 1980s and, similarly, Jimmy Carter had nothing to do with the lack of economic prosperity of the 1970s? It just happened because the planets mysteriously came into the right alignment I guess.
Reagan got out of the way of businesses - while Carter suppressed them.
Reagan reduced the weight of Government on the backs of wealth-producers. Government was in the way then - and it’s in the way now.
