Reagan was a mendacious motherfucker. He read off words written for him by Peggy Noonan and the vile Pat Buchanan. His budget director, David Stockman, almost bankrupted the country with his tax cut. His wife was a cruel woman. And that's being nice. In addition to Iran-Contra, he cut unemployment, Section 8 Housing, rental assistance, gave out bad cheese to the poor, cut food stamps, allowed people like Michael Milken and the "Masters of the Universe," to steal and screw over everyone. My parents lost everything in the '87 crash. I should have left the country back then.
