Loading ...I pretty much agree re Reagan ’81 to ’89 the jobs FLEW away. But I suspect it was his vice president Bush and his crew that was responsible. Because when Reagan was campaigning, and looking good, he was approached and told they would finance his campaign if he took Bush as a running mate.
So Bush had 8 years running the ship, then he won after Reagan and got four more years 12 total. After that, TPTB (Fed Res?) wanted to switch over to democrats, no sense giving Bush another 4 years or 16 years total.
So, they abruptly raised the rates and caused the “Bush Recession” so he lost, and right after that they abruptly lowered the rates. Generally the past presidents were best at doing the talking and getting the votes. The bribed “crew” was leading. Not with Trump though. He’s leading the “crew”.
