I remember the Reagan-Bush years when every Thanksgiving-Christmas season rolled around. All of the sudden the mainstream media was filled with stories about the homeless problem. It was intense and relentless. News segments, hour long specials, interviews with homeless activists and organizations, etc. Hollywood also got into the act. Almost every 1980s tv drama and sitcom has one or more episodes centered around the homeless.
Then, election of 1992 came around. Clinton won. And that very next Thanksgiving-Christmas season of 1992, not a single mention of the homeless. No more news reports, hour long specials, interviews with homeless people and advocates. No more sitcom episodes with plots regarding homeless people. And it remained that way for the next 8 years of the Clinton administration.
It was as if the homeless people all disappeared. They didn’t exist under a Democrat administration.
Also reminds me of sam donaldson and abc always talking about the pending economic collapse in 84. What a bunch of losers.
