Reagan deregulated the private sector, cut government spending, lowered taxes, and the economy boomed. Very simple.
I don't know what country you lived in but there was no boom... there was a great loss of jobs ... loss of retirement plans.. under reagan with his deregulating of the saving and loans companies ... that cost the middle class billions of dollars and more lost jobs ... were you get this notion of economy boom is beyond me ... now if you want to talk about a ecomemy boom lets talk about the clinton years...
No, the unemployment rate had gone up after Reagan's inauguration, but barely just after he had submitted his budget and given it a chance to take affect. That means the high UE number was due to Carter's policies. Once Reagan's policies took effect, the numbers dropped steadily till he left office. Not like Obama's that go up and down.
He left office at 5.2% Unemployment. But more importantly, inflation had dropped so drastically that the price of everything...a house, food, cars, etc.....things that matter to the middle class....had come way down.
And what else was a great thing for the middle class??? Interest rates had gong as high as 20% under Carter but were brought wayyyyyyyyyyyyy down by Reagan so people could afford homes.
This is why people loved the 80s.
As for Clinton, he enjoyed the heavy lifting Reagan did at ending the very costly Cold War. Clinton got the benefit of that with defense cuts left and right....and after Reagan had cleaned out the cobwebs in the economy and gotten it firing on all four cylinders.

What was your point?
What you said means nothing.
Reagan did a great job.
Clinton did too. Remember his first initiative ? Gays in the Military.
He did such a great job that the American people wiped out his democratic house and senate. Clinton threw the left under the bus and went to work with Republicans and had a very successful administration.
For which he can thank Reagan.

It seems people just can't wait to take a bite out of Reagan. I know he had his issues (folks who were not around don't know that the press was actually very hard on the man) and less-than-perfect moments.
But, at a time when we needed someone who could lead, he stepped forward and did a great job.
Life was not great through 1984. But, somehow he still managed to wipe up the electoral map with Mondale (nobody else had the balls to run against him).

The irony of this post is unbelievable.
Reaganomics is a good economic policy. Lower taxes for the rich means that they can invest more. Production goes up, more jobs are needed, so welfare costs go down.
And then Reagan does an amnesty to fill those jobs he supposedly created.
Indeed. I'm still waiting for anybody to post the history of retail meat prices after he issued thousands of visas to the meat packers so they could bust the unions there. People keep babbling about 'inflation has been defeated', but the prices are still way above 1970 prices, for some reason. I thought Reagan ended inflation n stuff.

Those of us who lived through Reagan know it was great times for almost everyone but the perennially self-pitied who couldn't be helped if someone gave them a million bucks.you haven't a clue what you're talking about reagan screw up the country so bad we are still trying to get out of a lot of the finanical decisions he madeunder Clinton he cut all of reagans tax cuts you moron ... he raisesd taxes ... you republicans lost your minds when he did that you haven't a clue what was done and what wasn't doneNo, the unemployment rate had gone up after Reagan's inauguration, but barely just after he had submitted his budget and given it a chance to take affect. That means the high UE number was due to Carter's policies. Once Reagan's policies took effect, the numbers dropped steadily till he left office. Not like Obama's that go up and down.
He left office at 5.2% Unemployment. But more importantly, inflation had dropped so drastically that the price of everything...a house, food, cars, etc.....things that matter to the middle class....had come way down.
And what else was a great thing for the middle class??? Interest rates had gong as high as 20% under Carter but were brought wayyyyyyyyyyyyy down by Reagan so people could afford homes.
This is why people loved the 80s.
As for Clinton, he enjoyed the heavy lifting Reagan did at ending the very costly Cold War. Clinton got the benefit of that with defense cuts left and right....and after Reagan had cleaned out the cobwebs in the economy and gotten it firing on all four cylinders.
What was your point?
What you said means nothing.
Reagan did a great job.
Clinton did too. Remember his first initiative ? Gays in the Military.
He did such a great job that the American people wiped out his democratic house and senate. Clinton threw the left under the bus and went to work with Republicans and had a very successful administration.
For which he can thank Reagan.

The irony of this post is unbelievable.
whats unbelieveable is how republicans like are are so stupid to what happen ... its like you live in a dream world
his budget balance was caused by him raising taxes in the first two year in office
total bull shit... go educate yourself... cause what you said here is total bull shit... clinton raised taxes on the rich and the working class by doing this the republicans rant about how it was going to run the country into the ground ... they pusded this rant all the way to the 1994 when republicans took the house... there wasn't one thing that reagan did that gave more money to the people ... he had cut so much IN taxes it forced george bush senior to go back on his no new taxes ... bush saw that the reagan bull sit tax cuts cause the country to lose jobs ... with his banking deregulation and his deregulating the monoply laws is why we are in the mess we are to daY ...The last couple quotes are so broken I don't know who said what. Clinton's deficit reductions were the byproduct of a period of global expansion that benefited several countries that had nothing to do with the US policies along the same trends lines. Reagan lowering the interest rate and increasing spending gave consumers more money with which to consume, which stimulated growth. Reagan, however, left the equity raiders unchecked, destroying lots of businesses which were land rich and cash poor so to speak, and Clinton set the stage for the mass exodus of middle class jobs. Neither were particularly that great in terms of the chickens that have come home to roost, but I suppose I would give Reagan the slight edge over Clinton, though that probably has more to do with Top O'neil than reagan himself.

bases were not cut by reagan moron ... his budget balance was caused by him raising taxes in the first two year in office[/QUOTE]did reagan slow down the unemployment ??? no he did not ... did reagan balance the budget??? no he did not ...did reagan bring down the national debt??? no he did not ... he did casue the national debt go up ... yes he did, 5 times the amount after he left office . and the unemployment went up after he left office even higher the the previous administration.. and we all know under clinton unemployment went down because he raised taxes ... we balanced the budget because he raised taxesyou haven't a clue what you're talking about reagan screw up the country so bad we are still trying to get out of a lot of the finanical decisions he madeWhat was your point dickweed ?

ROTFLMAO.....
Reagan had massive interest rates to deal with.
Tell me.....why did the country re-elect him so handily if he was doing so badly ?
Please...explain it to me.
Clinton balanced the budget by cutting the military and by carrying the economic expansion started by....wait for it.....Ronald Reagan.
There is a thread over in the political section entitled "The Failure of Reaganomics."
It opens with anything but a discussion of the economic policies of Reagan. It goes after immigration, Lebanon, Iran-Contra....
But it does nothing to discuss the idea of Supply Side Economics. Then you've got someone on the board who can't let go of Demand Side Economics.
There is NO ARGUING that things got worse under Reagan and then they got better.
Three is also NO ARGUING that our debt increased under Reagan.
Now, I say under Reagan. Even though R.R. had a degree in economics, my guess is that he wasn't up at night masterminding some kind of grand economic program. I could be wrong, but that is a guess. Just like I don't think Obama is masterminding his program either.
So, without the smoke screens of the garbage that goes on in the Political section, let's see what people have to say about the ECONOMIC POLICY called Reaganomics.
I'll start with a few posts.....
Reagan deregulated the private sector, cut government spending, lowered taxes, and the economy boomed. Very simple.
I don't know what country you lived in but there was no boom... there was a great loss of jobs ... loss of retirement plans.. under reagan with his deregulating of the saving and loans companies ... that cost the middle class billions of dollars and more lost jobs ... were you get this notion of economy boom is beyond me ... now if you want to talk about a ecomemy boom lets talk about the clinton years...
You mean those years when NAFTA and GATT sent millions of American jobs out of country?
