And the economy as well as government revenues grew robustly from 1985 to 1990, in case you've forgotten. The unemployment rate was nearly cut in half.

John Maynard Keynes, who used to be a patron saint of the Democrats, strongly advocated addressing economic slowdowns, especially those involving higher unemployment, with aggressive deficit spending. But when a Republican does it it's suddenly a right wing extremist idea.

The latest economic news suggests that it is working. The last time the economy grew as fast as last quarter was in 1984, at about the same point in Reagan's tax cut policy progression. Take a look at the declines in unemployment, the increases in government revenue, the increases in the stock market, and the growth of the economy from 1985-1990.

Which led to the fall of the Iron curtain and the Berlin wall..In years to come we enjoyed the peace dividend while Clinton the Adulterer,Liar, anD general terrible individual waisted everything that Reagan and Bush worked so hard for. Find me a good Democrat like Kennedy and i will be backing his policies, but do not even say Clinton along with real leaders.If the truth ever came out Clinton would be convicted of TREASON.

Reagan's actions also gave rise to the Peace Dividend, which Clinton received the benefits from and then squandered.
