The sad facts are that there never was a Reagan/Bush economy. All they did was merge and claim market gains. They have done nothing but attempt to prosper Communists, Socialists, and Royalist since 1973 and before with their support of foreign automobiles. We used to have thousands of automotive jobs in my state but now we have much less due to foreign competition. They claim Americans won't work but they expect us to compete with slave labor wages in Communist, Socialist, or Royal Countries. We need to keep the foreign producers and imports out if they block our exports so be it we do not wish to labor endlessly to begin with. We also need to convert to something other that oil since that too supports Royal ambition or Socialist slavery.
