And the budget deficit tripled under Reagan. Yeah, a shame, but the recovery of the economy is ultimately more important. He didn't leave office with double digit unemployment and inflation like Carter did. I see. Like Tim, you don't see a connection between the deficit and the economy. Out of curiousity, why do you think the dollar is falling? The deficit increased during the Reagan years and we had an economic recovery. Our debt levels are smaller as a % of GDP than most major industrial countries. As for the dollar, thats more related to the trade deficit. Don't confuse the two just because of the deficit word. Last summer was one of the worst in terms of on time planes in the history of US aviation. Why? Our air traffic control uses antiquated equipment and is short on personnel which limits the number of planes that can be in the air and the number that can land at any given time. The system is overtaxed....... Oh for God's sake. This is silly. you know like bridges that cross the Mississippi River in MPLS. Maybe the liberals in MN divert too much to their mass transit system. Considering the economic recovery, it was indeed worthwhile. Yup. You mean the one that fell right back into recession under Bush I. The recession of the early '90's was mild compared to the late '70's. Hint. There are always going to be recessions. Part of the business cycle. Most people dread flying these days. I do. Only because of the way the airlines treat passengers though. And you don't see a connection to deregulation. Nah, I don't blame airline dereg on it. But since you do, you need to hold Carter responsible. You did know he deregulated the airline industry didn't you? No, I guess you didn't.
