Those are the years when everyone *knew* western civilization was going to fall -- because of him and his WV. <br /><br />And you remember the Welfare Queen crap and State's Rights crap and "strapping young buck" shit he started? I still hear from people in my old neighborhood about how all "those people" work under the table, doing nails and painting houses, and really have plenty of money, how "they" trade their food stamps for drugs and liquor and drive around in BMWs, how people have 20 kids so they can collect more welfare, about four generations of welfare -- those are all Reagan talking points.delagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197857250240640822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-47537408869812841062009-06-09T09:16:14.537-04:002009-06-09T09:16:14.537-04:00Our health care is in the state it's in now be...Our health care is in the state it's in now because of Reagan. It was Reagan who put the power of health care in the hands of the fucking insurance companies and out of the hands of the health care professionals. He allowed the insurance folks to demand oupatient surgeries, predetermined hospital stays, and treating symptoms instead of finding the cause. Reagan, in his hayday, almost bankrupted hospitals and left many of us nurses with part time work because when the deregulation of the insurance companies let them run a muck, the hospital beds, for the first time in decades, were empty. In order for all of us to get some sort of a paycheck, all of us had our hours cut. And I will never forget the day that ketchup became a vegetable in the school lunch program and the cost of one place setting at the white house was in the thousands. Reagan almost whipped out the middle class and starved the poor and because of his crap, we had our first real case of multitudes of people living in their cars and children and their parents living under bridges. Yeah, he was a real fucking winner. NOT.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.com
