We Are Seeing The Completion Of Reagan Revolution Where Country Given To Rich.

It has really been all down hill since Reagan. He unleashed all the demons. He legitimized the Christianizes, racists and bigots. He put out the economic poison to kill the middle class and working class. And I do not know how we go forward from here.

Remember, Reagan was the one who pointed out that Social Security was not a budget item, and that anyone who said it was a drag on the budget was lying.

Even when Reagan famously said that government was the problem, not the solution, he prefaced those remarks by saying "in this instance," which was a way of acknowledging that sometimes, government is the solution.

Reagan wouldn't be a R today. Wouldn't be a D, either.

and I wanted to throw up.
Reagan killed unions, shoved the moral majority down our throats and started the whole "trickle down economics" BS. The rich are greedy and they are still trying to convince the gullible that it works.

We were horrified that a B grade actor was elected President. Now we have a psychopathic, blow-hard buffoon, reality show star as President. Definitely gone downhill! We're looking up at the gutter.
