Oh my God no No No NO NO NO it's happening again! Please no stop. Oh my God not again!!

This is not the first time the press has put a smiley face on unemployment. During a speech in 1982 Raygun (unemployment 10.1 %) made a speech about VOODOO economics success and how it was necessary to have a certain number of Americans unemployed at any given time because of new technology in order to keep the jobs in "rotation". The press hailed him as "The next great conservative." By the time 1984 rolled around unemployment was down (I forgot, I think 4.1%) and Raygun calls it the "fulfillment of the American dream" There is massive growth (sound familiar) however the situation hasn't actually gotten better in the last 4 years. The growth was mearly a sign of the economy returning back to it's usual crapiness. In other words the Reagen Boom only looks good when compared with the Raygun Recession. Meanwhile the press praises him, the Democrats nominate Walter Mondale instead of Gary Hart or John Glenn (both were polling near Raygun. And in 1984, well you know the rest.
