How do we feel about "voodoo economics" linking to Reaganomics?
[edit]In the general election > debates section "voodoo economics" is mentioned only this one time in the article:
A second debate before the New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce likewise focused on the economy. Florio attacked Kean's program as "voodoo economics" and compared it to similar plans which he said caused "financial chaos" in Wisconsin and Minnesota. [a few other sentences before this ref [1] ]
There is voodoo economics, but it redirects to reaganomics. That might be sensible under some circumstances, but it stands out as particularly odd here. It is contemporary (making one wonder if Florio was trying to parrot Bush Sr. when he infamously said the same about Reagan), but I don't think this quote has anything to do with Reagan, nor his tax policy, which was in it's infancy in 1981.
