Economist Jeffrey Sachs told CNNI we're at the end of Reagonomics

[lebkuchen]

Sachs said Reagonomics had broken the back of the U.S. and that it was time for Americans to grow up. If they want a healthy govt, they're going to have to pay taxes for it, starting with the rich.

He is the most articulate spokesman re: the economic meltdown I've heard to date.

I can't remember the interviewer's name and can't find the video. At the end of the program the interviewer said he had the results of his on-line poll, asking "Who is the worst vice president in US history." He said that Aaron Burr had received several votes because he shot somebody, but that the winner had shot somebody, too.

Dick Cheney won the poll.
