The Reagan years? Surely you jest. Things went well cause he spent like a drinken sailor, and didn't raise taxes. He left that to Bush who got summarily thrown out of office. I wll say Reagan was one great speaker and one great motivator (and an actor btw). But here's a guy who got to office by attacking phony "welfare queens" and who began his campaign in Missippi at the site of the murder of civil rights workers. Since you, fs are color blind, you certainly took umbrage at that.
And another thing. In my life I have rarely heard an older person say things were "better" back in the day. It is not surprising people say it now. I will probably do the same when I am 80.
I took the time to ask several buiness people at this afternoons round table meeting the same thing. Many said the "Reagan years" moving right into the firstfew years of the first George Bush years were the best for buisness and profits.
Less regulations, larger profits and less hands in their pockets. One said he was pro business and anti union bullies.
No times are perfect but some are surely better for business owners then others.
Did you have a business open during those years? if so what field? Cut out the bull and lets talk $$+ cents
