Well, hot on the heels of a scheme to replace Franklin D. Roosevelt with Ronald Reagan on the dime, Matt Towery writes an article about how our students are learning about Reagen.
In particular, he's concerned that people won't know the effect of President Reagans record on the economy. I wonder if he wants them to know that the Reagan economy lifted 77,000 out of poverty while the Clinton economy lifted 8.2 Million out of poverty (according to the Bureau of Census). Probably not.
I'm also pretty sure he doesn't want to focus on how Reagan left an enormous budget deficit for President George H. W. Bush (who did nothing to fix it) while President Clinton left a Surplus for President George W. Bush (who quickly got rid of it).
