(375 posts)This country has been going in the wrong direction since Reagan took office. Anyone that was an adult by the early 70s could sense or see the change in America. Big business greed and the shuttering of our factories in the 80s started to wipe out the Middle Class. Things made a slight comeback in the 90s but G.W. Bush finished us off. Tax cuts for the rich and the big Corporations put strains on States that then had to raise taxes to pay for education and infrastructure further hurting the working class. Job seniority, security and benefits became scarce to non-existant in most work places. Somehow all of our social safety net programs became too expensive and budget busters. The military of course could not spend money fast enough.
Change in America does not happen quickly. It has taken 35+ years for Reagans policies to come to fruition. And with all the Evangelical Republicans in Congress, things are only going to get worse. Biggest hypocrites on earth.
