David Stockman stabbed Reagan in the back first chance he got.
David ignored the Brown Acid warning...
I’ll take the lifelong Democrat Arthur Laffer over the clown Stockton....anyday.
And yes, Laffer is still a Democrat. Reagan didn’t play these political games. He wanted the best people, regardless of the letter after their name.
I sure miss that president, lemme tell you.
Me...me...me...me...look at me...me...me...it's all about me...me...me...I'm in it for me...me...me...the universe evolves around me...me...me...
The Frum of his time. I remember well.
One of the biggest mistakes Reagan ever made was in NOT FIRING THIS blathering, bird-brained pipsqueak the moment he opposed Reagan’s economic policies.
IF YOUR BUDGET DIRECTOR CANNOT FOLLOW ORDERS, OFF WITH HIS HEAD. Reagan was much too tolerant in this intance.
AND for pete's sake, it's not a "balanced budget" we need, we need a radical downsizing of the size, scope, power, regulations, etc., etc., etc. of the Federal Government. We could run a 100% budget deficit of $500 billion dollars, if we cut the budget of the Federal Government to $500 and eliminate all taxes.
That would be better than "balancing" Obama's vastly expanded Federal Government spending spree with higher taxes. Of course, the budget couldn't be "balanced that way, because it would collapse the economy.
Stockman: wrong then, wrong now, weasel always.
