I knew that one of the goals of the Reagan administration was to dismantle
everything that was for the common good, starting with the New Deal.

What I did not know, and am not surprised, is that they removed the solar panels that Carter installed on the White House.

What difference would it have made, except to show that they did not care about alternative energy? I hope that Obama will install them again, for a lot more money now, no doubt.

(was reported earlier on CNN)

1. And I find it ideal
that the largest federal building in DC is named for Reagan. I think they should put his picture on a trillion dollar bill.

2. There are too many people, even the ones who now dislike the Republicans
who still adore Reagan.

At least, I think that plans to put his face on the dime (I think) are dead.

3. Friends in high places
(too late to edit)

A friend suggested that Reagan had friends in the oil industry who probably told him that they were "offended" by solar panels in the White House..
