44. Reganomics depends on "Gov. is the problem" and that has destroyed our economy with deregulation
Enron anybody. Wall street, AIG, Goldman-Sachs...the list is huge. And now the media belongs to 5 corporations who spout corporate propaganda daily. Gov is the only entity large enough to deal with these mega billionaire corporations with republican as watchdogs and protectors of their holdings. Time for change...and it begins with HC ins reform because our very lives depend on it.
