		You recall wrong.  Reagan has consistently explained everything hap-
	penning to the economy in such a way that he would look good.

No, actually, he recalls almost correctly.  Feel free to vent your opinion
about Reagan's honesty in general, but he *did* warn people that things would
be getting worse for a while.  However, I don't believe it was when he took
office, but rather during the campaign.  I brought this up a couple of months ago,
and I can't remember now which network it was where I saw this, but one of the
major news organizations picked up a couple dozen references to this during
the height of the unemployment problem.  (If you didn't see my comments then,
it may have been in net.flame; I don't really remember now.)
