Exactly, thus the Obama policies were passed as you pointed out I believe in February 2009 whereas Reagan didn't get his policies passed until August 1981 which is the final quarter of fiscal year 1981 something liberals don't understand. Reagan had zero impact on fiscal year 1981 whereas Obama had half of fiscal year 2009 to implement his policies which his Administration would keep unemployment from exceeding 8%

You are missing another fine point, that I'm sure our 'left' folks will just love me to make. The 'economic policy' ideas that BHO got passed were mere continuations of the Bush administrations. BHO has had no NEW ideas...yet, thus solidifying your 'failed administration' position. Further the latest news about the exit from Iraq is just as outlined by the Bush administration prior to 2009, again continuing the previous policies.

If Obama had any private sector or leadership skills, yes we would be growing today and out of the recession. The Reagan economic policy was centered around the tax rate cuts of 25% over three years. That showed the American people he believed in them and the results speak for themselves.

So you have no reason for believing what you believe? Ok, sounds good.

Now there you go again, ignoring the really big contribution to the current economy, all those Czars Obama created. Obama shows he believes leadership is dictating and growing the size of govt. instead of actually motivating and encouraging a private sector. Reagan knew it, Obama doesn't have a clue

Right, Reagan really screwed up, doubling GDP, creating 17 million jobs and increasing govt. revenue by 69% with the tax rate cuts

Reagan economic policy cut the rates to 28%, the 70% rate was Carter's and inherited. You do understand inheritance, don't you?

Are you seriously using the opinion of a cite that the main mission is to consult on the marketing of Bed and Breakfast Inns for regions in California? You cited a paragraph below the link that said

The Iranian Revolution sharply increased the
price of oil around the world in 1979, causing
the 1979 energy crisis. This was caused by the
new regime in power in Iran, which exported oil
at inconsistent intervals and at a lower volume,
forcing prices to go up. Tight monetary policy
in the United States to control inflation led to
another recession. The changes were made
largely because of inflation that was carried
over from the previous decade due to the 1973
oil crisis and the 1979 energy crisis

to which there is no basis in reasonable fact that the hostage crisis was alone, and solely responsible for the rising price at the pump in the Carter administration. In fact, although I am sure that this had a pressure on the market, the rationing, and price controls that Carter foolishly tried to implement were a larger culprit of misery that the American people of the time underwent.

With a top marginal rate of 35% today there is not room to have a 42 %point tax cut.

Spoken like a true big govt. supporting liberal. Why do we need a 3.7 trillion dollar Federal Govt? Obama certainly doesn't get it and neither do you

Well there is always defense. Even YOU must think we need some sort of defense.

Good gawd you are oblivious.
 
I'd be happy to limit government to the enumerated powers.
