The statistics which the Congressional Budget Office gave in the
article documenting Reagan's unfair policies were based upon
official Treasury Dept. statistics.  Right now the unemployment
statistics happen to be computed under a Republican administration--
does that make them any less valid? No.  Mr. Wheeler has never heard
any Democrats claiming such statistics were just "claptrap from a
Republican administration."  Mr. Wheeler should give the same respect
to similar statistics which show the bad effects of Reagan policies.
It is another one of the unfortunate consequences of Reagan's administration
however, that numerous statistics have ceased being collected 
because they are "too expensive".
