Thank you Thom, I read but rarely comment because you say and it’s always above reproach. Congratulations for THE best summary of Ronald Reagan’s devastating Presidency! I had just purchased and ran my own business the year of a recession 1974, I was successful but educated. Then came tax time for me the poor in this equation lost the deduction for healthcare or insurance a new thing then but at least a deduction but not after Reagan! He stomped the poor badly! It would have been worse but there was at least negotiation then, Tip O’Neal had a lan that got us this far but we will have to wait for a negotiated solution that I don’t think is coming. It was a life saver and didn’t hurt the poor, we paid n and as advertised it was the safety net. MAGA does not understand the economic trap that poverty is. The shing city on a hill goes to NYL the white rich and professed Christian, it is a bad, bad joke on the forever poverty trap. For years I listened to accolades of Reagan and he was the beginning of the end for the American Dream, it’s gone.
