It's not revisionist. It's fact. You can verify the unemployment and inflation statistics for yourself.
And as Doggie The Bubble Mod still lives in his parents' basement, it's clear he doesn't grok the importance to grown-ups of JOBS and avoiding hyper inflation.

Reagan cut taxes effective Jan 1, 1983 and dramatically decreased inflation via the Volcker Fed tightening.
Any theory that you have that doesn't involve these facts is just leftwing hyperbole.
He ruined manufacturing jobs. He sided with big corporations, while hurting the middle class.

"Critics of Reagan's policies continue to point to large budget deficits in the 1980s as the price of his success. These troubled him as well. But given the magnitude of Reagan's accomplishments in stopping inflation and bringing about the collapse of the Soviet Union, I don't think his failure in this area should be held against him.
As impressive as Reagan's tangible accomplishments in office were, his less tangible accomplishments were also significant. Together with Margaret Thatcher, he restored the idea that private individuals and businesses were the true sources of prosperity, not government. They gave legitimacy to free markets, open trade and sound money, in contrast to socialism, planning and price controls, which had dominated economic policy throughout the world for more than half a century. The renaissance of growth and freedom in Eastern Europe and the Third World owes much to Reagan's and Thatcher's discrediting of the socialist idea and their tireless defense of economic freedom. "

That is incorrect. Y2K most certainly fueled a lot of infrastructure spending, but the impact of the dotcom bubble spread into other sectors as well (everyone wanted a dotcom story for their business) particularly telecom with tons of fiber wrapping around the planet.

didn't clinton and al take credit for all that...and blame the crash on someone else....
I didn't care for Reagan. Good points there. He seemed to appeal to Americans' greed and consumerist tendencies , for one thing. He capitalized on the religious sentiments of people to really recklessly further the greedy industrialists desires. And he said he was Christian but he and his wife were also into the occult actually
He made some off the wall comments about the environment that I disagreed with, such as "You've seen one tree, you've seen them all". He was no environmentalist.
I also disliked his whole movie star persona. It seemed shallow to me. I didn't like his silky, smooth manner.
