and you are absolutely correct about Reagan. When I got a rare phone call answered

on C-Span a few years ago, with the topic being the crashing economy, I said that it was the result of

"30 years of Reagonomics"....That got me a sour look from Greta, or Gretchen, or

whatever her name is, but so many of these "kids" were raised on the St. Ronnie

myth, and have no idea how MUCH better this country was before he came along.

There are many, for instance, who thought we "always" had a homeless problem.

They weren't cognizant back in the early to mid eighties when that started.
