Reagan and Reality: The Man's Legacy is a Myth

With GOP types and Obama praising Reagan, one has to ask: What the blazes were these people doing the last 27 years ? They are either stupid, blind, arrogant, or too egotistical to recognize the widespread destruction to the American citizenry and working class with regard to their standard of living and quality of life that has definitively occured since the dawn of the Reagan GOP reign that is seems to be heading towards a twilight finally. The Reagan presidency started the US down the road on a path where life has gotten worse for millions and resulted in widespread destruction of the social fabric and order across the nation, particularly in the family unit, in the workplace, and in communities.
