Re: "In his wildest dreams Ronald Reagan never thought that a president of a United States, now in the throes of a serious economic crisis, would adopt a solution to the problems of our economy that would not only worsen the situation...." Then I guess that means that ole Ronnie must'a been TOTALLY ASLEEP during his own two term Presidency: Increase in National Debt during the eight years of the Reagan/Bush Presidency: 1981 - 1989. Real National Debt hugely increased during the Reagan/Bush two terms. Debt increased by 20.5%. A post WW II all-time record real increase Exceeded only by the (slightly faster rate of increase) posted when Ronnie's Vice President inherited the mantle --- but for a single term this time --- and posted his own terrible deficit numbers: Increase during H.W. Bush Presidency: 1989 - 1993. National debt increased at an even faster annual rate under H.W. Bush's single four years. Increase was 13.1%.
