Absolutely a fact that the voters of that period put these policies in place and refused to look at what was happening. I absolutely blame my generation and that which followed for giving all these Democrats too much power and trust.
What you say maybe true...or not.
What is largely forgotten is..up until the last ten years or so people relied on the MSM for their info. There was no 24 hour coverage on C-Span, no Rush, no Levin..etc.
If you watched the MSM today or read the newspapers ONLY...think of what lack of information you might have. That was all that was available for years.
The Tea Partiers are for the most part not young. It’s us geezers that are the engines of that movement. And...no...it isn’t because it suddenly affects us. It’s because we finally have information.
