Really? The so-called "war on drugs" started under Nixon. People have been going to jail for various and assorted drugs since the turn of the 20th century and popular press propaganda used images of racial minorities and sinister immigrants to whip up public support for drug policies; in the 1890's and early 1900's it was "Chinamen" luring innocent young white girls into prostitution with opium, in the 1920's and 1930's it was "big buck Negroes" and "jazz musicians" (and in LA, Mexicans) raping innocent young white girls while under the influence of cocaine and marijuana.

Healthcare has always been for those who can afford it or who have insurance to cover it, the US has never had a public health system.

Needless wars? Korea? Vietnam? Hello?

And it was Calvin Coolidge who said "the business of America is business" way back in the 1920's.

Things are not much any different, America is by and large the way it's always been (or at least the way it's been with a few short intervals and slight deviations since more or less the Gilded Age and the dawn of US imperialism).
