We are in a fine mess indeed, Demeter. Reagan saw to it that any middle to working class person eventually would not have a pot to piss in with all his "shining city on a hill" happy talk that amounted to nothing. Increased wages were swapped with increased debt. Government regulations, which were reframed as onerous to everything American, were loosened. People making public policy surrendered any control over the raping, pillaging barbarian hordes in three-piece suits.

Indeed, we are in a fine mess.
