You said that Reagen inherited a far worse economic situation, I asked you to provide an objective party that would support that claim.
If it's super-obvious, it shouldn't be that hard.
Listing five statistics with no effort at context isn't a great basis to form an opinion, but thank you for posting what I asked for, even if it is just a headline.
This link makes no effort to contrast.
But I will read through this so I don't amaze anyone else with my ignorance.
I read this in link 1. It's a single factor viewed with no attempt to contextualize the data, and no thesis to support to refute.
I was hoping for more of a fact-checking opinion piece that would provide arguments and context that I could evaluate for myself. Like this:
Reagan faced a worse recession than Obama  |
If I read your last link correctly I think we are in agreement but with a slight misunderstanding.
I was talking about what each President was handed,
upon inauguration. The economy and foreign situation for the USA was far worse at Reagan's inauguration.
That link is talking overall economics over the recessions and not just at each President's inauguration. I am in total agreement that Obama's situation economically has it worse NOW and the recession is far worse now. No argument.
My point that Reagan had is FAR worse is even more true because he had the Soviet Union breathing down his neck. Obama has Iran. A F'n fly on the rhino's butt by comparison.
