Stephen Moore

In recent months the news has been filled with reports of sluggish economic growth and the problems such inadequate growth causes, such as declining personal income, corporate layoffs, etc. But how did the economy get in this shape, and is there anything we can do about it? In this report economist Stephen Moore documents the change in fiscal policy that has taken place under Presidents Bush and Clinton, and contrasts the results of this change with the economic results experienced during the 1980s under President Reagan. The result is a strong case for a return to the supply-side policies of the 1980s.
