Let's not kid ourselves that Reagan's policies have much to do with the
economic upswing, which is just a typical business cycle adjustment to
re-stock depleted inventories.

The huge deficit, causing high interest rates, causing a dollar which is
quite valuable on international markets are nailing our export industry
and causing a lovely balance of trade deficit.  This will be enough to
keep our economy in the relative stagnation it's been in for the past
decade or so.  Even stagnations have their ups and downs; Reagan just got
lucky in having the up-swing of the business cycle coincide with election
year.
