This is a guy who's been supporting social security reform for the last 30 years. But what I'm interested in is his record as a supply-side economist during the first Reagan administration.

I had heard that he gave a magazine interview in which he confessed that supply-side economics was fraudulent, and that he had only supported it because he thought that the deficits it produced would lead to social spending cuts.

Does anybody recall that article? I've done a web search, and haven't been able to find it.

Thanks,

Barry
