Before Reagan, the United States led the world in damn near everything. After 35 years of supply-side economics, we lead the world in damn near nothing. And the nations of Europe – which we call “socialist” – have shot ahead of us in innovation and technology.
He taught American citizens to hate their own Government, and turned it into a Government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations. The only thing this country now believes in is money. Thanks, Ronnie.
Reagan, the first celebrity president. Pretty clearly square one on the path that led us here.Groomed to play the part but at best only marginally competent. At least he staffed the government.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”Ronald Reagan
Reagan made the unholy alliance with the “Religious Right” that has created the hyper “Christian” white supremacists who are now a huge problem for such a small demographic.

Do you think Reagan would like that Marx-like statue in Carmen’s daydream?

Now, now …… Trickle down will kick in any day now. Our grandkids may live to see it. Or, that was actually what was going on in Ronnie’s pants?

Be careful, Carmen. Winslow may also be able to sting like a bee.
