Economic Indicators prove Reagan was right and compassionate conservatism is wrong

Courtesy of Liberty Bell,  here is "Seriously?  A Layman’s Look at How Political Ideology Impacts the  Economy And Other Interesting Stuff," by Lawrence Farey (unpublished report).

It's lengthy, but worth a read.  Here's the report abstract:

Using generally accepted economic indicators, President Reagan's traditional conservative policies had a three times better success rate for the economy than any president since Reagan.

If President Bush 1 and President Clinton continued to follow President Reagan's policies the Federal government would have had a surplus one year earlier than President Clinton's surplus.

Compassion conservative policies yield the same results for economic indicators as modern Liberal policies. Economically there is no difference between compassionate conservatives and modern liberals.

Are we becoming Europe? Economic indicators prove we are already there.
