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.

Amazing, the Reagan recession when Reagan was not part of the govt. that created the conditions that led to the recession? You stated once you voted for Reagan so either this is an act or you are a total and complete hypocrit, deal with it

Nope, that's not what I said. It's a shame that your G-d given limitations prevent you from understanding what I actually wrote.:(

Aw, yes, my G-d given limitations and of course nothing about your arrogance and limitations on your ability to do research to understand actual data. What you wrote only diverts from the Obama record which is the only thing that matters. The results today show zero leadership and a President how divides not unites people. He is an arrogant empty suit and the results show it. You will wake up one of these days hopefully not too late.

Reagan and Volcker intentionally put the economy into recession to bring down inflation and high interest rates. Hard to disclaim a recession that one intended, no?

please show where he was arrogant, or has failed to do due diligence in his research, and please show how he has failed to understand the data he has posted...sounds to me like you are projecting your own faults onto him.

I know how hard it is for you to recognize leadership and promoting a positive agenda obviously having never seen any leader in the Democrat Party. You don't motivate people by demonizing others and that is the Obama economic agenda, make the rich pay and create more dependence on liberalism. Too bad good people have been sucked in

typical, striking through that which you do not understand, not surprising. Leadership is a foreign concept to liberals.

As usual with you, none of that non-sequitur diatriabe even addresses what I said. The only reasonable conclusion I can reach from your vapid response is that you either concede my point or you simply don't understand it. Either way, your flailing attempt to divert from it, along with your injected invective, fails you.

Miserably.

you really need to focus more on what you can control and leave leadership and management to those that understand the concept and can deliver results. Obviously leadership is something you don't understand and that is why you accept the very poor results of Obama. Keep editing my posts so others can see how brainwashed you really are.

Your point shows that you have no concept of leadership and management thus as a wage slave expect to remain there your entire working life. Results that Obama has genreated remain poor at best and show no leadership skills at all. There is no economic policy he has in place that generates positives results and dividing people while demonizing individual successes all the while pocketing millions says it all. He loves having people like you that he can manipulate and is laughing his ass off at the blind support. You did get one thing right, Obama is worse than Jimmy Carter

He'll never understand that. It's been explained to him 100 times and he still asks what Reagan did to cause the 1981-82 recession. Learning that is above his pay grade.

Reagan did nothing to cause the 1981 recession as inflation sored in 1980 which is before Reagan took office.



Inflation, which had averaged 3.2% annually in the post-war period, had more than doubled after the 1973 oil shock to a 7.7% annual rate. Inflation reached 9.1% in 1975, the highest rate since 1947. Inflation declined to 5.8% the following year, but then edged higher. By 1979, inflation reached a startling 11.3% and in 1980 soared to 13.5%.[

Not sure what TV programs you were watching as a kid then but you have no concept of the economic conditions that Reagan inherited. Reagan nailed it, "Are you better off today than you were in 1976? Same argument in 2012, are you better off today than you were in January 2009? The numbers say no

Yes, no one denies that inflation was high. That is WHY he and Volcker put the economy into recession: to bring inflation down.

My bet is you were playing with transformers during the 1980 election campaign and weren't paying any attention to the economic conditions. Instead you act like an expert again on a topic you know nothing about.

Did Reagan put the country in recession in 1980? Conditions did not improve until Reagan economic policies took place and that is a fact

I swear, you have no credibility at all, Reagan had nothing to do with the 20% prime interest rates in 1980 as he never took office until January 21, 1981. back to the drawing board or at least try to educate yourself
Both you and Sheik are both showing your age as well as you ignorance

Try to pay attention. Reagan and Volcker created the '81-82 recession -- on purpose -- to control inflation. It was the correct policy. Certainly Reagan inherited a crappy economy from Carter, just as Obama inherited an even crappier economy from Bush.

And exactly what did Reagan do to cause the prime interest rate to go up to 20% in 1980 when he wasn't even in office until January 21, 1981? Higher intererst rates are supposed to control inflation and Reagan wasn't even in the Federal Government in 1980? You full of crap if you believe that the American people were worse off in January 2009 than January 1981, that is total ignorance and someone who wasn't old enough to even know about 1980

Absolutely astounding, Reagan takes office with the American people paying record interest rates of 20% and they were better off than when Obama took office with an interest rate of a little over 3%? You obviously don't have a clue how foolish you sound
