Two federal agencies charged with keeping potential terrorists off airplanes and out of the country have been without their top leaders for nearly a year.

And Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., has placed a hold on the president's choice to head the TSA over the senator's concern that the new leader would let TSA screeners join a labor union.

let's look at the data....
Under Reagan unemployment went to 10.8, so far under Obama it's at 10.2. It was over a year after Reagan's tax bill that unemployment started to drop. Unemployment is a lagging indicator. Would it have been 'laughable' to suggest in December 1983 that the tax bill (and of course the large increase in government spending which accompanied it) was working?
It was of course the Keynesian style jump in spending under Reagan that stimulated the economy. His tax cuts were phased in and did not take effect until after the recovery was well under way.
Your blind partisanship and economic illiteracy would be laughable if it wasn't so predictable.

Under Ronald Reagan, the greatest transfer of wealth from the middle class and poor the post Revolutionary War world has ever experienced took place.
