I was born in 1960. I remember Jimmy Carter: I learned economics when he raised prices on an already scarce resource and damn near did what no enemy foreign ever had done.
I was schooled being told that we had all of these "problems" to solve: The environment, racial problems, etc. The older I got the more I realized that those were manufactured problems.
The article never mentions it either but I can remember when America was a free country: People talked to each other and not lawyers to solve problems. Perverts were afraid to approach children because the police would hurt them then arrest them. Older brothers had fast loud cars that threw up plumes of pollution but here we are (no environmental apocalypse). Shame was very real so most people were ashamed to get handouts and they worked instead. There were government agencies but they did necessary things and had little enforcement power. We could buy guns out of the back of hunting magazines and crime was no where like it is now.
Okay enough ranting here. Get out and vote tomorrow! See ya there.
