Blasphemy. Ronald Reagan was an economic genius.
Not really, he was a genius in instituting economic policies put forth by other economic geniuses though.
Not blasphemy, but the truth. After all, how did a hayseed from a rural town that makes Wasilla look like New York City gain the name recognition and the mass appeal necessary to succeed in politics at the national level? Through his celebrity, speaking engagements, and book deals; that's how!
