The”Regan Era” was marked by Iran-Contra which had funds subverted from underneath the radar of Congress and those involved conveniently forgot the discussions they had about it. The Reagan Era was marked by poverty increases, the huge homeless issue cropped up as it had not been there before and generally Ronnie was known to say some crazy things. Sounds like the things that are going on in the W Administration. But back in the 40s and 50s Reagan was saying some crazy things in order to keep the elderly from getting Medicare. Reagan spoke against Medicare back then…closed the mental institutions that led to the homeless problem we have now…did not help nor have compassion for the poor since their numbers rose under Reagan as they are rising under W and wow are those numbers rising now…and Reagan had that Constitutional thing for which he and several staffers should have been Impeached, indicted and in jail. Their tactic is the tactic that Scooter Libby just used in forgetting everything that happened. The rich get richer…the poor get poorer and only little people pay for crimes. Move along…nothing to see here…OHHH lets go arrest that guy for taking a piece of pizza and throw him in jail but when the Constitution is truly subverted…look away!!!
