Reagan


when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, FDR was snorting cocaine to help treat a sinus infection. Reagan was making movies and riding the hobby horse with Jane Wyman.

Could go either way depending on your ideology. Each handed difficult situations differently, but admirably. Both get a lot of undeserved blame and credit.

1945 unemployment was at 1.9%.
It was 1.2% in 1944.



I left out a bunch , just hit a few things.

That was a good post, Gramps. To get every detail of both admins would be too much for VN's bandwidth... you nailed the key points.

Disagree. Welfare is a free handout. I oppose most aspects of LBJ' Great Society particularly welfare. I have few issues with folks getting help for a limited time in exchange for working to better communities.

Social security equals tax
