Reagan Record

 

Don Regan: "What’s the bottom line of the Reagan Administration? It’s a great record."
Lesley Stahl: "Bottom line. Largest deficits in history. Largest debtor nation. Can’t afford to fix the housing emergency."

-- Exchange on Face the Nation, May 15.

"I think it’s a dangerous failure at least in terms of programs. A mess in Central America, neglect of the poor, corruption in government....And the worst legacy of all, the budget deficit, the impoverishment of our children."

-- U.S. News & World Report Editor Roger Rosenblatt during CBS News GOP Convention coverage.
