The Misery Index is pretty high right now and that's directly related to Reagan's "deficits don't matter" philosophy.

Reagan opened the door to "borrow and spend".

He Tripled or Quadrupled the National Debt in his 8 years.

He did that DESPITE seeing revenues EXPLODE because of FED policy.

He also set the stage for "deregulation" of the Major financial institutions. That worked out REALLY well, first with the SnL's during HIS term and the later MESS we got into during the last few years.

Reagan gave us SO MUCH......
