Many say that it was Reagan who set the tone for the economy in the 90s.
No, that was Bush Sr. Bush Sr started to cut government spending, particularly in the military (which many Republicans conveniently forget when bashing Clinton) and channeled that money elsewhere. Reagan was an financial menace, resulting in massive debits and deficits, run away spending (even after he hacked and slashed domestic programs!) and obscenely large government.

U.S. budget history (off-topic)
Perhaps you're up to a new topic concerning U.S. budget history. It really doesn't belong in this topic.
Some graphs and other info I tracked down:

Re: Racism or sexism: the dilemma of Afro-American women
Can you show that there is a genetic basis to race?

I have no interest in this like perhaps David Duke has - he and the equal race people can debate for all they want.
For starters:
Forensics - they can tell what race a person is esp between the main 3 races (Caucas,Mongaloids,Neg) based on very little - not just hair sample. Note that many "nonwhite" people are Caucasian or Caucasian hybrids. I am being lazy here there are tons of documentation on this.
Skull - any qualified Biologist can easily determine race based on a complete skull alone.
Everything else is open to interpretation - How different we are etc. That just varies from person to person and based on opinion.
The actual differences are well documented and cannot be disputed.
Also, there are some controversial interpretation of statistical data like the Bell Curve, for instance.
I just think it is silly to make blanket statements like there is no such thing as race. Even a 1 year old can tell the difference between people of different races.

Those graphs aren't new to me. But my point is that Skeptic is wrong.

Speaking of which, Hillary got less states...
I'm hearing the ghostly voice again. I'm hearing it right now. The guy is talking about indian in 7/11. in delaware, the largest growth in population is indian american from india... you cannot go to a 7/11 or duncan donuts unless you have a slight indian accent... i'm not joking... denise... you know i got a lot of support from this...
Anyway, Hillary got 9 states while Barrack got 13. However, Hillary got more delegates.
Who do you guys think will finally emerge as the dem presidential candidate? Obviously, the other one will be the running mate.

Dunno what the DNC will decide. 40% in the superdelegate's hands? WTF?
The decision isn't in the hands of the electorate!
Anyhoo. I doubt either will consent to serve as VP.

Just as I thought.
No balls.
You gotta a pair, you suggest a PNT.
Otherwise, your "notions" 'bout "race" are consigned to KKK history.

Re: putting this to rest...
I guess no one else will attempt to determine the racial or ethnicity of the girl in the picture so here is the answer.
She is just a little less than 50% caucasian (mixture of alpine & nordic stock) and a little more than 50% mongoloid mostly Korean with a small amount of Japanese and even less American Indian. This I can say for sure since the picture is of my youngest daughter.
I am the Nordic-Alpine & American Indian (I dislike political correctness) Her mother was a Korean-Japanese mix.
So it is not as easy for someone to look at someone and give an accurate racial-ethnic account per skepticfaith's statement
