Every President since are mere symptoms of the greater problem. Until we give up on Reaganism, and there is pretty much no chance of that happening, we're in a downward spiral.

the Bush/Cheney doctrine exacerbated the illegal war meme and the rest is history.

(22,143 posts)4. Yep. It's the natural progression of Reaganism.
If you've ever played Grand Theft Auto, you'll note that the society depicted in those games is the society these Birchers and Reaganites want.
Everything is privatized and corrupted. You can buy your way out of anything. Gun superstores and strip clubs on every corner. Everyone has a gun. So on and so forth. That's where we're headed.
