    This article repeatedly talks about fiscal policy, then mentions some effect (e.g. falling inflation) of monetary policy, implying that fiscal policy was the cause.

    That's horseshit.
    I've been a lifelong conservative, and I didn't "split off" over Reaganomics, I supported it. I agreed with the proposition that the deficit increases would be temporary as the economy improved. And they would have been, had Congress not outspent the revenue increases.

    This is just another attempt to marginalize the conservatives within the Republican party, and pretend that the Republican establishment, who fought Reagan's nomination tooth-and-nail, is in the right.

    The assertions you attribute to conservatives and libertarians were made first and most loudly by progressives and other leftists. Including, if I recall correctly... the Bush progressives.
