Cutting taxes was only one leg of Reagan’s economic program and maybe not one that would do much at this time.

A more important Reagan policy for today was his program of regulatory relief. Reagan didn’t ‘create jobs’, he unshackled private business so that they could create jobs.

Obama is doing exactly the opposite. He is as hostile to the free economy as any President we have ever had and he’s burdening us with more and more regulation every day. The non-recovery is the result.

Reagan inherited a mess, but instead of whining, he got to work and fixed it. It took a couple of years for his policies to take affect, but when they did, the economy did very well.

barry inherited a smaller mess and has made it much worse.
IF we ever get an American president back in the white house, it will take drastic measures to get the economy back on a growth track.

Reagan’s intention was to make America great again after the cluster fork created by Carter.
barry’s intention is to destroy this country.

Different priorities.

I can't understand anyone on the Right not understanding the GREAT VALUE of tax cuts. It is the single most dynamic thing you can do to unleash the wealth-creating free market economy. It is well understood that the Reagan tax cuts were historical and resulted in historical long-term economic benefit. We MUST cut taxes.

But just as important and critical is cutting the $4 trillion government by at least 80% (still too big, but it's a start). The federal government must be put back in its constitutional cage. That means MUCH LESS regulation, to which you alluded. Hopefully, the Convention of States by Citizens for Self-Governance will succeed in forcing this.
