(1,151 posts)It took 15 years ,a world war and some serious congressional regulations on banks to bring us out of the last great depression. This one, we dont even talk about anymore. Its a dirty secret. There are more important issues such as guns, and gays, and who will win the super bowl. That is what matters. Forget about any action by this congress to reign in the billionaires who are working as hard as they can to destroy the American dream.
I watched it start in 1979. I knew what the result would be. How come no one else did? I was just a kid.
Reagan pointed at poor people and said there is our problem. Some black woman was siphoning off all our wealth through welfare fraud. So we all elected him to go after the black people. We were worried about the black people ,we are always worried about the dark skinned people.
Now, we are all poor. So they attack the gays, they label us a liberal and attack us based on our weakness, a conscience.
