1980 was a bad time to be coming into the job market. And for those with a job, the double-digit inflation was devastating.
Rush made the point today that the unemployed now get a lot more welfare than they did in 1980.
And the demographics are a lot different today.
I don’t have a handle on how the difference in the MSM in 1980 compared to today affects things.
In 1980, the MSM big three networks had such a monopoly, that they were less overt in their propaganda than today, when the MSM shouts to get their message out.
In 1980, the MSM was more subliminal.
So it’s hard to project from 1980 to today. I guess we’ll see in two weeks!
Was thrilled Reagan won. We were married Aug of ‘81, husband with a good job and myself still in college. By the next year he was laid off. Carter left the economy in a shambles. Reagan years were the best.
