When people like me are described as nutjobs, people like you should probably be nervous for the nation.
To recap the presidency of Ronald Reagan:
Promise: cut government
Reality: hired 230,000 ADDITIONAL civilian government workers
Promise: control govamet spending
Reality: tripled the national debt in PEACETIME, something nutballs can't get their minds around
Promise: deregulation
Reality: increased corporate welfare more than any president before Junebug Bush
Promise: less government interference
Reality: first two finance bailouts; Wall Street 1987, S&Ls 1988
Promise: lower taxes
Reality: the largest tax increases in history on the middle class (1982, 1988)
And on and on; more false promises than Clinton, another pathological fake. Among the highest compliments in America today is having a nutball call one a "nutjob"; the only higher compliment is having a fake liberal meritocrat call one a teabagger. In other words when the clueless won't associate with one, one's world is self cleansing.
That doesn't fix anything, but it does clear the path.
