Clinton’s Inauguration

I would think people like John McLaughlin, who are so red-hot to confront the deficit, would possess a little humility an and shut up for awhile and let the new Administration have a go at handling the economy (Column Right, Jan. 19).
Where were McLaughlin and his conservative friends when Ronald Reagan used supply side (economics) to create the monster? Did they oppose it? Not them. They were right there with praise for the Gipper and supply-side economics. Cutting taxes and increasing spending will make us rich, we were told.
As we struggle with the supply-side hangover, McLaughlin and his friends should butt out for awhile.
