Reagan Worse Than Obama on Unemployment

Wes Benedict, Executive Director of the Libertarian Party, released this interesting factoid on the LP's Monday Message:

"In the first 18 months of Obama's presidency, unemployment increased from 7.7% to 9.5%. During the first 18 months of Reagan's presidency, unemployment increased from 7.5% to 9.8%. That's even worse, but I don’t hear a lot of Republicans mentioning it."
