Slick Willie was coasting on the Gipper's fumes. Hillary's husband was too busy running for re-election throughout his first term, including selling military technology to China to worry much about the economy. Little Willy, part Deux was pure legacy building.
Putting aside the fact that there was a recession in 1990 and a war in 1991, all of you Ditto Sphincts declared the era of Reagan over when Clinton got his budget passed in 1993.
Despite your liberal 'gravitas' talking points, Reagan's economic recovery lasted throughout the best efforts of three administrations to derail its effects by undoing Reagan's legislation that paved the way. Your boy, Barry Soetorro is doing his best to see to it there will never be a economic resurgence in this country ever again. That's what communism does, Lycra-spandex boy.
We had a recession in 1990. That's a fact.
No economy grows without correction. The fact remains the Reagan recovery from the failed policies of Nixon and Carter is the longest sustained growth in our history. You argue and hate this fact because it puts paid to your tree-hugging communism is the wave of the future worldview.
It was all on borrowed money and the 1990 recession was caused because his policies bankrupted the Savings and Loan industry and nearly did the same to the banking system.
Wasn't there also some hanky panky going on with Reagan's administration and HUD?
Pick a department. His administration was corrupt to the core.
Oh no! Here comes the scathing analysis of lucysmom! Had to call in the fellow trolls to swamp me with posts? Weak.
