Maybe Reagan did, but the publishing industry seized the opportunity to both make money off of a book by Stockman, and at the same time, make money off of making RR look bad.

I don't think the book did as well as they had hoped, and RR over came the "voodoo economics" moniker.

Stockman is the go to guy for the corrupt media when they want to protect the swamp.

The rats intentions were one world government, using the cloward piven system of overloading the system into collapse. We dodged the bullet electing Trump, Hillary would have sealed the deal

Yes, Stockman is the doofus who said that. He didn’t last long in Reagan’s administration.

Three and a half decades ago Stockman was OMB director for President Reagan. Of the budget process during his first year on the job, Stockman was quoted as saying, “None of us really understands what’s going on with all these numbers,” It looks like he still hasn’t learned.

I don’t believe in economic forecasts. They are almost always wrong. The billions and billions of decisions made in just a day are too much for any economic model. It dwarfs the complexity of weather systems.

Stockman is a backstabber, trying to reclaim the 15 minutes of fame he peed away when he backstabbed Pres. Reagan.
