S + L and subprime fiascos similarity starts at the top
Reagan lived in a fantasy world; Bush lives in a fantasy world.
Reagan created astronomical unemployment; Bush was the first President since Herbert Hoover to finish a term with fewer Americans employed than when the term started.
Reagan should have been impeached (Iran-Contra was only a small part of his criminal administration); Bush should be impeached (whatever happened to the First Amendment?).
Reagan gave us tax cuts for the wealthy, increased military expenditures and deficits for our children; Bush gave us more tax cuts for the wealthy, unheard of military/contractor expenditures and deficits for our grandchildren.
Finally, Reagan's penchant for deregulation gave us the S + L fiasco; Bush's policies helped create the subprime crises and the accompanying economic meltdown.
