As you've been learned in the past, the misery index is not even an indicator of the economy. For example, if we are mired in massive deflation, the misery index goes down, which according to your nonsense, would indicate the economy is improving.
No, the leading economic indicators are the GDP and unemployment.
GDP fell 1.5% under Reagan's recession but 5.1% under Bush's Great Recession. Unemployment grew 4 million jobs during Reagan's recession but grew by 8 million during Bush's.
Deal with it.
I am all about deflation.
