The Reagan MYTH keeps growing with each telling. St Ronnie averaged 3.5% yearly GDP growth, well behind Johnson 5.3%, Kennedy 4.3%, and Clinton 3.9%.We went to 9% on a quarterly basis under Reagan, and I believe he had over 5% on a yearly bases one year.
That isn't "well behind Clinton," and his performance was purely the result of the low tax rates Reagan setup, and the peace dividend that allowed him to slash military spending. He can also thank Reagan for that.
Democrats make the economy grow by getting us into wars.
You do know that your sainted Ronnie Raygun raised taxes after fucking up and cutting them, right?
