 Joseph,

Guess you don't remember what  it was like with Jimmy Carter was in the White House ... Certainly you don't if you blame the start of the problems on Regan.

No justice from big ol' Denys... I say we blame both sides for
allowing this mess we are in. BUT it started with Regan, got worse
with GHWB , then Clinton made strides in a long 8 year recovery that
no one seems to remember including more A$$ than Kennedy. The wheels
really fell off when Numchuck Bush took office and let Cheany run the
country into the ground with the war in Iraq and letting big
corporations and banks do what ever they wanted to. Now Jim Chance can
no longer find a job.
