I had to quit school in 82 because my paltry earnings was TOO much to qualify for a Pell grant. I didn't finish college until I was 45 because of what Reagan pulled. And yes, I remember my sister and her husband were paying 13 or 14% interest on their mortgage. Those days were awful. I remember working in a restaurant and had to start claiming the 8% tax on my total sales for those tips whether I made a 8% tip or not. Reagan raised my taxes and I worked part-time! I'm just glad I never voted for the smuck.
