FOOEY. I DONT BELIEVE IT, there is not yet evidence of such a thing, all we have so far is the normal sine-wave type stuff that we have had (skewed, but still sine-wave) since Johnson. This "down" trend has been expected but for reasons that were unknown to the economists quoted in newspaper, radio, tv, etc DIN NOT materialize during Carter's administration as expected. (Did I say DIN? I meant DID) Anyway, I will need more reasonable and better documented proof that the economy has "recovered" and even more than that to make me think that Reagan's policies had anything more than a very indirect and mostly accidental effect on it.
