Ronald Reagan: George Bush
built 627 days ago
The sanctification of Ronald Reagan’s political achievement embodies a covert critique of George W. Bush’s foreign policy failures. But Godfrey Hodgson’s assessment of the deeper continuities between the two administrations opens up a fresher view of past and present alike.
Bush's key economic adviser is Larry Lindsey, an early adherent from the Reagan era of supply-side economics. The doctrine (famously derided as "voodoo economics" by the governor's dad), provides an academic rationale for giving tax cuts to the rich. The theory is that rich people would invest their windfall in the stock market, providing a morale-boosting injection of funds and investment capital to create jobs, providing "trickle-down" wealth to the ordinary people. The supply-siders ... provide a do-gooder gloss to the Bush tax-cut plan, which would hand $81bn (60% of the total reduction) to the richest 13m taxpayers.
CVN-76 Ronald Reagan In March 2000 Newport News lowered the bow of the carrier Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) onto the ship. Ronald Reagan is the first Nimitz-Class carrier to have the new bulbous bow design, which outweighs bows erected on previous carriers by about 120 tons. The new bow will be incorporated into the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) and may even be considered as a retrofit design change for all Nimitz-class carriers during refueling and overhaul.

Lady Thatcher, Michael Howard and George W scurried yesterday to bury Ronald Reagan in an oleaginous ocean of tribute. How deep is that ocean? It's amazing how fast your feet touch rocky bottom.

Featurebox photo for reagan main page Bush recalled Reagan's early life, which he said "would see its share of hardship, struggle and uncertainty." Yet from those circumstances would emerge "a young man of steadiness, calm, and a cheerful confidence that life would bring good things."
