Another simple fact about the Reagan years...

2. You can't tell me that wasn't by design
Bring this nation to its knees then you can strip the people of everything they worked for, from a fair wage and safe work place to a secure retirement. It all started with Reagan

9. David Stockman said as much
Didn't seem to matter to a lot people back then and now most people don't even know who David Stockman was or what he revealed.

3. The TRUE Reagan needs to be remembered.
All we're going to hear for the next few months is how he was the greatest President ever when the truth is that many of the problems that we are facing or have faced are a direct result of his policies.

4. For those of us who were already adults
during the Reagan years, and who were paying any attention whatsoever to what was going on, it was blindingly obvious that no good could come in the long run from what he was perpetrating on the American people.

8. what we didn't know was how much groundwork was being laid down during his admin.
Republicans think (and stay focused) on the long range plans--a weakness on our side.

6. I can't reply until I check with my psychic...
And my star chart.

Carry on.

Oh wait... one more tidbit: Star Wars.

This guy was a loon. A handsome, well spoken, theatrically trained loon, but a loon nonetheless.
