My daughter asked me my opinion on an article she read in Vanity Fair attempting to debunk the presidential record of Ronald Reagan. I happily responded.

The writer of the piece is veteran liberal commentator Michael Kinsley, who used to be a regular on William F. Buckley Jr.’s “Firing Line” and CNN’s “Crossfire.” It’s not as though he appeared out of nowhere, studied the evidence anew and shared a novel theory. He’s been dissing Reaganomics for decades along with other Democrats and liberals, whose only recourse is to distort the Gipper’s phenomenal record.
