The Reagan Myth

How much longer am I going to hear about the great Ronald Reagan? I was sick of it in 1980.Too young to vote by only five months, I watched helplessly as this B-movie actor "charmed" Americans out of their votes. I read the writing on the wall -- I was going to get stuck paying for this man's playacting with higher student loans and lost economic opportunities. All because I had the misfortune to be born into the lower middle class. At 17, I could smell the manure that was "trickle-down economics." And I hadn't even taken Econ 101 yet.
