The US and UK were in terrible shape before Reagan and Thatcher took office. Both improved after they were elected?
Mr. savings and loans crisis? The guy that tripled the national debt?
The epically failed war on drugs guy? That guy improved the united states?
The US and UK economies were terrible. Stagflation, “malaise”.
Reagan ushered in a decade of strong economic growth. I’m sure all races would trade of a higher paycheck despite the media comments.
By what measure? Can you source that claim?
“Since World War II, according to many economic metrics including job creation, GDP growth, stock market returns, personal income growth, and corporate profits, the United States economy has performed significantly better on average under the administrations of Democratic presidents than Republican presidents.”
Reagan was the only Republican that reduced unemployment by a little bit, but he was in the lower half of presidents who did that. But he failed to increase employment significantly, he increased the deficit significantly, and he did damage with the bunk feed-the-rich “Trickle Down” theories.
Even Trump agreed. “During a March 2004 interview, Trump stated: ‘It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.’”

Again if any politicians today were half the person Thatcher was things might actually get done. Even Blair might be an improvement.
