Regardless of ideology, political philososphy or effort countries around the world experienced an economic surge during the "reagan" years. I kind of liked Reagan --- it was hard not too. <br /> <br />I admired Mr Reagan's stance in the air traffic controller issue and basically thought he was ok. But despite an initial tax cut, he raised taxes 7 times, grew the size of government and did what he needed to do to lead the country and be responsible. This increase in taxes in government doesn't make him a bad guy, but a realist. <br /> <br />I applaud him for being a centrist, managing the country in a safe way, not as a republlican, libertarian, or ideologically inflexible politician. I don't think he authored the "reagan era" of economic boom times, but benefitted from them, driven as they were by a global economic cycle. <br /> <br />Anyway, nice to read Mr Greco's comments, as always, even if I agree, but don't quite.....The Good Doctornoreply@blogger.com
