Letter: Enough voodoo economics

(Susan Biddle | The White House | The Associated Press) In this Jan. 14, 1989 photo provided by the White House, President Ronald Reagan gives his final radio speech to the nation, from the Oval Office in Washington. On Friday, Feb. 1, 2018, The Associated Press has found that stories circulating on the internet that Reagan never took his jacket off in the Oval Office in eight years, are untrue.

I think we’ve had enough of voodoo economics. It didn’t trickle down. It didn’t raise all boats. It only supplied one side.

Also, I think we've already multiplied. Now let's replenish the earth.
