I still cringe when I hear that the 80’s were the “decade of greed”...

THIS, here TODAY, is the decade of greed. EVERYTHING our elected leaders do is simply to line their OWN pockets from EVERY possible source! It’s ALL they spend their time doing! Figuring out every possible angle to extract money from somebody; somewhere.

At least in the 80’s, we had SOME principled men in office who actually worked to BETTER this nation for no other reason than they loved it.

I don't call the '80's the Decade of Greed. Along with economist Robert Bartley, I call them the Seven Fat Years.

No more Hubert Humphreys, Scoop Jacksons or Zell Millers in the RAT party, with whom you could disagree but still respect because they loved America too.
