The truth is that Volcker was easy back on his first bout of tight money in late 1980. But when he saw the Kemp-Roth tax cut, he decided to offset it with an unfortunate venegance leading to the massive 1982 recession. And this mix fiscal stimulus and tight money led to that massive dollar appreciation which incredibly lowered net exports, which of course made the tight money even more effective at crushing the economy in 1982. If Robert J. Samuelson thinks Volcker and Reagan worked together - then he is even more clueless than I had ever imagined.ProGrowthLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138489390594441753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-72344204633246956832013-06-04T13:45:33.947-04:002013-06-04T13:45:33.947-04:00Began, but was not finalized until the Clinton adm...Began, but was not finalized until the Clinton administration when the ICC was eliminated.rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-36663740892611339152013-06-04T07:59:23.170-04:002013-06-04T07:59:23.170-04:00Didn't trucking dereg also begin under Carter ...Didn't trucking dereg also begin under Carter (and Alfred Kahn)?marcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831521008587576816noreply@blogger.com
