Democrat Franklin Roosevelt and Republican Dwight Eisenhower renewed America with modern, state-of-the-art public labs, schools, and public hospitals across the nation; nearly free college, trade school, and research support; healthy small and family businesses; unions protecting a third of America’s workers so two-thirds had a living wage and benefits; and an interstate highway system, rail system, and network of new airports that transformed the nation’s commerce.

The seeds of today’s American crisis were planted in 1971, when Lewis Powell, then a lawyer for the tobacco industry, wrote his infamous “Powell Memo.” It became a blueprint for the morbidly rich and big corporations to take over the weakened remnants of Nixon’s Republican Party and then America.

By 1982 America was agog at the “new ideas” this newly-invented GOP was putting forward. They included radical tax cuts, pollution deregulation, destroying unions, and slashing the support services the New Deal and Great Society once offered people (because, Republicans said, feeding, educating, or providing healthcare to people made them dependent).

One of things I agreed on with Trump was Space Exploration and Infrastructure and he was correct in pushing those things while McConnell did everything to stop it.

We need to get back to the way of Ike and away from the days of Reagan and focus on Making America Great Again for all and not the few.

Unfortunately those like you are the problem and offer no real solution except taunts of stupidity that show the reality of the type of mind this country is dealing with.

Once the shinning beacon on the hill we are now the worn out Whore that can not pay her bills…
