He would have been much better than FDR. Reagan loved the American people and believed they could do almost anything if government just got out of there way. FDR believed Americans wanted more welfare programs and declared war on the wealthy and business community. FDR just made the depression the Great Depression.
Assuming also that Reagan had a GOP controlled Congress, like FDR had a Democrat controlled Congress, Reagan would have asked Congress to cut taxes, and get government regulation off of business' back to begin with. The more the private sector invests in the economy, and the less government interference with that private economy, the quicker the recovery.
In short, Reagan would have done precisely the opposite of FDR and the economy would have recovered twice as fast or faster.
reagan would have done many of the same things he did in the 80s, cut taxes and regulations, and generally set up a pro business environment.
Lol, you act as if the government isnt pro business now? So what are all those lobbyist doing in Washington?
