Reagan's economy was hands down our strongest economy by yearly growth in GDP. Clinton was actually a fiscal conservative, he cut taxes (rare for a democrat). Representing Clinton's policy as traditional democrat policy is misleading because he cut taxes and deregulated. I won't defend Bush, he overspent and added to our problem. Obama on the other hand has led the worst recovery of our economy ever! Yea we improved by 1-2% but we were at rock-bottom, we could only go up. Reagan took over in a similar situation to Obama, and our economy came back roaring. Low taxes and deregulation incentivizes business.
