TLComiskey, you don't have to look at Ronnie's page. All you have to do is jog your memory. In case you are on a coffee break, let me do that for you:
Flashback,1970 to 1980: Dems with Jimmy "the bleeding heart" Carter in control of Congress and the White house.
-a)Inflation12% -b)Unemployment12% -the misery index (a=b)= 25%, a record high, only exceeded in Russia. -long oil lines. -Fear of Russia A bomb. -US Cities with record high crime, out of wedlock pregnancies you name it. -long lines at city Social Services offices of pregnant teenage girls with 4 kids to get their monthly handout so they can have 4 more kids. -Dow Jones Index 700 . Gloom and doom -Jimmy boy even had a name for it " National Malaise ". says " come on Americans, get some Alka Seltzer and get off your butt for Jimmy's sake ".
Nobody buys it.
Flashback 1980-1988: Ronnie gets elected;
-First, off with malaise. Americans can do it. -I will cut your taxes and give you the money ( tools ) to do it. -Tunica Albuginea believes Ronnie. Buys deep ( 100% long ) the Dow and off he goes into the biggest , non-stop market rise ( 20 years ) of history up to 9500 !!! -Russia dies in 1989 last year of Ronnie, and Bush buries it in 1990. -cities come back. -Japan gets the message and tanks in 1987 -Ronnie exits 1989: We are No 1, financially and politically. The tech sector takes off, MSFT,INTC etc.
Altogether now: " I love Ronnie,", < GG>,
