Isn't it about time for your daily lecture on push passing? Sissy sports are always filled with liberal blowhards.

The analysis is faulty. To give only one example, unemployment when Reagan took over, and the recession was necessary to flush out inflation, and spiked unemployment further. The relative decrease in unemployment was much greater under Reagan than Clinton, who started with a big advantage. Also, Clinton was doing about as well as Bush had at the beginning of his administration, until after '95, when things took off. If anything, that suggests the result of the Republican Congress taking control of the agenda.

All the numbers that guy uses are flat out wrong. I looked him up and he's nothing but a super leftist political gay rights gadfly. Nice source, Scum.

Fable 7: The Robust Reagan Economic Expansion Was Only a Result of the Steep Economic Decline in the Early 1980s Reagan's political adversaries maintain that the economy expanded rapidly from 1983 to 1989 only because of the underused resources from the severe recession of 1981-82. This interpretation of the 1980s expansion is contradicted by two facts. First, even taking into account the deep recession years of 1981-82, the economy grew at a faster rate over the entire Reagan period than it did over the Ford-Carter years and the Bush-Clinton years. Second, the economic expansion of the 1980s was notable for not only its strength but also its length. Figure 10 demonstrates that the Reagan recovery lasted 92 months, making it the second longest uninterrupted economic expansion in the century--outlasted only by the 1961-69 boom. cato.org
