The best way to destroy any remaining credibility you might have it to link Reagan with a 21% Prime Rate. Please don't let your hate for Free Enterprise and love of Failed Keynesian cloud your judgement
I'm not the idiot who responded to a post about entire decades with references to one four-year president. That was you.
ERTA didn't pass until August, 1981.
Birds don't migrate until September. Of course, neither of those have a lick to do with the topic at hand - which is job creation. Job creation was faster during the 1960's and 1970's than it was during any decade during Reagan or since.
Now, you can continue to claim I hate free enterprise and I believe in failed economics, but you're the one staunchly defending tepid growth and level or declining real incomes.
