Good 'ol Jan, ever-ready with the suggested non-sequitur (not-so-cleverly
hidden in the title.  Perhaps you'd be good enough to share with us your
reasoned conclusion from this quotation.

Or perhaps statistics without context are your favorite flavor of propaganda?
Anybody can provide you with lots.  That you might or might not like.
Such as servicemen dead overseas since Reagan came to power, billions of
dollars of waste in the defense departments since Reagan came to power, etc.
It's a good thing you don't like context or comparisons, or some of those
might not be very impressive.
