Jane points out that Ronald Reagan's former Secretary of State, George Schultz, is a frequent visitor to this site and occasional plagiarizer. The evidence? This NY Times Op-ed piece (sorry, subscribers only) that Jane pointed me too:

These charts [reproduced below] show the rate of change in real gross domestic product and in employment from 1990 to last June. The shaded areas show recessions. The vertical lines show when President Bill Clinton took office and when he left. Because the economy has momentum, it's useful to look carefully at the trends in evidence at the time of presidential transitions.When you look at the record, a quick summary is this: President Clinton inherited prosperity; President Clinton bequeathed recession.
