Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumThe Horrors of Reaganomics: Bernie Sanders on Economics, Insurance Reform (1993)
Published on Mar 1, 2016
Reaganomics (a portmanteau of Reagan and economics attributed to Paul Harvey) refers to the economic policies promoted by U.S. President Ronald Reagan during the 1980s. These policies are commonly associated with supply-side economics, referred to as trickle-down economics or voodoo economics by political opponents, and free-market economics by political advocates.
The four pillars of Reagan's economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and tighten the money supply in order to reduce inflation.

Reminds me of the old adage; "The more things change, the more they remain the same."
