Re: "Well, I've spent a bunch of time in the library checking 172's content, and found some serious problems. Unfortunately, my attempts to discuss it were so frustrating that I turned away from those articles, and it now falls to others to fix them."
Bullshit. I gave you a detailed list of suggested readings on [[History of the United States (1980-present), including some journal articles and books reviews that were relatively quick reads. You never really got back to me since then.

I didn't say you were totally unresponsive, and you did provide sources for some of the claims, which was great - some of it, such as the Sunbelt material, is still on my todo list actually (magpies in the bottle-cap factory aren't especially efficient). On the flip side, partisan works from the early 1980s aren't going to be the academically sound post-Reagan assessments of supply-side economics that we need to have as references.
