DO get this correct - 1992 saw BILL CLINTON sworn in as President for the first of TWO terms (8 years) - NOT Bush.
The Clinton’s began the big decline of which we see results today. It could be argued that the decline started with the assassination of JFK back in 1963.
Of course, I’d guess everyone on FR knows that.
I was speaking of the Republican primaries which led to a candidate, Bush.
