Abstract. Agreement is general that the U.S. budget deficit of the Reagan administrations is a national disaster. The supply side and laffer curve economics of Mr. Reagan and his advisers have proved totally fallacious. Draconian monetary policy Curbed the inflation.

The purchasing power pumped into the economy may have mitigated the crisis in major U.S. industries.
