It's not deep at all.

1. All presidents have had at least one person idicted on their staff; whether in a cabinet or advisor. This is no new news and shouldnt even be close to being treated as some isolated Regean happening.

2. The country was in the shitter economically following Carters presidency. Regean came in and created a new federal policy. The short version of Regeans federalism simply restructured gov to not be so fucking involved in states and their programs which creats federal red tape and bullshit.

3. National/Trade Debt/Deficit. Look at the Clinton years.

The article is a textbook case of playing partisan journalism. Regean should have been impeaced for Contra-Gate - then why wasnt he? Oh yea, big Right Wing Conspiracy. Oh no he negotiated with Saddam Hussein. Well we better get Chirac in chains since good ol France gave a young Hussein a tour of their nuclear facilities. Whoo Hooo!!
