DETAILS: From Dr. Rutledge:
"The Gipper was the real deal. In a town where no one does
what they say they are going to do, he shocked people by
telling them just what he was going to do -- and then he
did it!
I had the honor of helping the Reagan transition team put
together their economic plan. I wouldn't trade that
experience for anything in the world.
Young people today need to understand that, when Ronald
Reagan was elected in November, 1980, the American people
were discouraged. Inflation was 15%, the top federal
income tax rate was 70%, interest rates were 21%, the Dow
was 860, a wall separated the families of East and West
Berlin, the Soviet Union was acquiring real estate, and
Iran's Khomeini government was holding a group of
Americans hostage in Tehran.
Inflation is now 1-2%, tax rates are less that half as
high, interest rates are low single digits, the stock
market is above 10,000, and best of all, the Soviet Union
and the Berlin Wall now only exist in the history books.
The hostages, by the way, were released on the day Reagan
was sworn in as President.
All this worked because President Reagan understood that
to make things better, we all had to work. The real heroes
in America, he believed, were the factory workers, miners,
waitresses, cabbies, teachers and homemakers who go to
work every day to build a better life for their families,
and that work, not government, was the answer. His genius
was communicating to people that he respected them,
understood their problems, and believed in them. The thing
was, he really meant it. The Gipper was the real deal."
