Reagan would have let us take the natural medicine of a recession, while maintaining a steady faith in the ability of the American people to pull through if the government would just. get. out. of. the. way.

Indeed. And yet even Reagan would've lost in a landslide in November to Obama, and meanwhile he'd have been savaged by Huckabee and the conservapurists who would've reminded everyone that 12 million babies were aborted during 1980-1988.
