I'm no fan of Reagan.
He helped usher in the current iteration of the GOP.
He helped give the wealthiest among us huge tax breaks, and started the erosion of the middle class.
He was correct about tariffs.
All of the above are true at the same time.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

My new column with Maurice Obstfeld in VoxEU argues that the broad tariffs of the Trump administration are not well suited to tax policy, macroeconomic, or other aims.

Trump’s tariffs as fiscal folly
In 2025, the US government underwent a large fiscal switch, with Congress enacting large income tax cuts and the second Trump administration putting new tariffs on goods at levels not seen in the US since the Great Depression. This column evaluates tariffs as a broad tool of fiscal policy, reviewing both tax policy and macroeconomic considerations, and concludes that this fiscal switch will leave most Americans worse off.

Opinion in the latter case: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![TEXT ORDER: DENIED. The Court is required to continue its constitutional
functions, and therefore the Motion is Stay 69 is DENIED. Department of Justice
contingency plan states: "If a court denies such a request [to stay or continue] and
orders a case to continue, the Government will comply with the court's order, which
would constitute express legal authorization for the activity to continue.". So
Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 10/10/2025. (Potter, Carrie)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreidu6fjjiyibsxirz3zpjmjufbhr7tgbswycf3ow7xlb35rbgkh57m@jpeg)
![Weighing the competing interests in this case, the court finds that the harm to Plaintiffs in
staying the proceedings would outweigh the harm of denying the stay, particularly given, per Department of Justice policy, that attorneys may continue to work on this matter following the
denial of this Motion.

For the foregoing reasons, Defendants' Motion for Stay of Proceedings [Doc. No. 183] is
