It's amazing that we can't have a discussion here about economics without the posts boiling down to this:

Any thread that begins with a quote that Reagan fixed the economy in two years is a political thread, not an economic discussion, since the entire premise is based on whether or not that (silly) statement is true.

That is what they mean by making him the spawn of Beelzebub.

Good thing Bush II and his six years of Republican-controlled congress were able to right the ship.
