Nice try, but no one is going to believe you. Reagan brought us back from Jimmy "the peanut" Carter's ruin. I bought a house during Carters term and I know what the interest rates were then, as well as inflation and as well as gas prices. During the Carter term, mortgage interest rates went from 8.5% up to over 15% before Reagan was even elected. Reagan put more people back to work and the economy boomed by the end of this term. But, you should know all that. You should also know that even as sick as he was, he had such a great team around him that he achieved more than any other president in history as far as foreign diplomacy is concerned. He freed the Iran hostages, caused the Berlin wall to be torn down and even bankrupted the Soviet Union to the point of destroying communism in Russia. Of course, you liberals are doing your best to reinstate communism here in the U.S.
