re: #285 Olsonist

Uh, the Berlin wall didn’t come down under Reagan. It was under Bush.

Looking at the historical mortgage rates:

1979 under Carter: 11.20
1983 under Reagan: 13.24
1987 under Reagan: 10.21
1991 under Bush: 9.25
1995 under Clinton: 7.81

OK, but I was telling the truth about my two mortgages referenced above. But the only reason they were so low under Clinton is because Newt was the Speaker of the House and he insisted on fiscal responsibility. I miss Newt.
