Whenever I see one of those polls rating presidents, I always choose Reagan as WORST. Todays GOP rave about him. And that’s exactly why we’re in the awful situation we’re in now. I felt a gut punch when I first heard the news he’d been elected. I knew he was going to be bad for Women’s rights. But I didn’t realize all the vast damage he would do. Trump was awful but Reagan started our terrible slide down to where we are. And likely led to an electorate capable of electing Trump. I was sick with a dire illness over an 11-year period leading to organ transplant. Because of our current system of healthcare, I ended up with none of my resources left. I had worked for 40 years of my life, but I am at net worth zero. Oh I’m very healthy now but I live on Soc Sec only and pay half of that to rent. Had to sell my car. So at age 74, though I was born into the middle class, earned a bachelors and masters degree with honors, I live in poverty. There’s something wrong with this picture. I’m a writer but life is so hard at this point I don’t work on any of my projects anymore. Just worry about what the GOP will do next

Dear Thom - I believe that your newsletter needs to be required reading for The House of Representatives the Senate and the Supreme Court - plus read out loud every day in the oval office. In my humble opinion, too many people are unaware of how we got to where we are or they chose to conveniently forget. Your newsletters are so educational and well written. Thank you for all the books you have written and for all that you do to educate us.
