88. Tough call between 1980 and 2000. Have to go with 1980.

If there hadn't been 8 years of Reagan, with the mantra of no taxes, smaller government, firing the air traffic controllers, "welfare queens"...all the lies, distortions and general animosity toward
people in need of services vs. using the power of government to make your business buddies wealthy,
I don't think Bushie boy would have risen to prominence or ever had a chance to run for POTUS.

But, given that history, 2000 was our last chance to turn the country another direction. I fear for us.
I think we're in for very rough times. Very rough.
