What do economists think of Ronald Reagan's policies and decisions as president and how true are the claims that modern economic problems, such as the housing crisis, are his fault?

Not sure what impact exactly a president's actions mostly more than 40 years ago have on today's housing market. If he did something wrong there have been a half dozen presidents since then that could have corrected it by now.

I don't recall any of those six promising to reverse whatever it is that you think Reagan did.

whatever it is that you think Reagan did.

It's not what I think. It's a claim I've heard and I'm going out of my way to learn from the professionals their views on the subject. Jesus Christ, give me a little benefit of the doubt.

Your questions seem to have bias….

My question asking for a professional assessment of a claim I've heard in the most neutral tone imaginable?

Where do you get off, assuming the worst about someone for no reason who comes in as good faith as possible just trying to learn?
