40. That's a good point - Reagan was surrounded by rational people

... who actually knew what they were doing. In those days people were held accountable and they understood how the government worked. Reagan was flaky (in his 2nd term especially) but it didn't matter. The government still ran like clockwork most of the time.

I don't want to go back to those days though. If we could redo any President's time in office I'd like a redo for Bill Clinton. If Clinton hadn't gotten sidetracked by the blowjob impeachment, we would have ended up in a way better place by 2000. Wishful thinking.
