Why don't you post some facts to back up your claim that construction did poorly during Reagan's administration. Not an anecdotal account of how one man struggled to find work but some hard statistics that show how much better the construction industry had it under Carter than Reagan. It is a historical fact that interest rates, the inflation rate, fuel costs, and the unemployment rate were all much lower under Reagan than they were during the Carter years. It is hard to believe that the construction industry as a whole were worse off in a strong economy than they were during the years that popularized the "misery index."

You wouldn't believe me anyway, get your buddy TRT, to tell you about the perils of industrial constructio during the Reagen years. Maybe he will tell you about plant vogel being the only job on the east side after the RCC wound down in about 81. I'm at the beach on an iphone and typing isn't easy, I'm sure TRT can remember industrial construction during the 80's, but he will word twist, and make it sound good. But, it was very bad for construction workers in the 80's, at least on the industrial end of it.
