ace--no republican administration has actually **been** monetarist. they've all been "compromises" between talking monetarist and acting keynesian, particularly in the usage of military spending. clinton was more an actual monetarist than any republican before or since, much to the chagrin of the republicans who had to try to frame him as some phantasmagoric "leftist" so they could differentiate themselves from him.
the problem with monetarism is that it's horseshit. look around you. this is the world that the paralysis of talking monetarism as if it made sense has made.
you really should make an effort sometime to get your historical facts straight.
this reality-optional stuff is a crushing bore.
