I'm just wondering exactly WHAT he considers a "new era". When did it start? What are the policies that are foundational for the "new era"? To me a "new era" would mean a HUGE dose of socialism, even revolutionary socialism. Now I'm sure he didn't mean that, but what DID he mean? Is he considering the Reagan changes the "new era"? It's concerning to me.
