So Lucky!

Yes, I’m still reading American Theocracy by Kevin Phillips, but I’m close to the end. What I have found most interesting about the final third of the book, (Economics) was the fact that my suspicions about how the Republicans have manipulated our once healthy economy for their own profit schemes are revealed as being true. Reagan’s plan to grow the government and cut taxes at the same time (Debt is good!) was an obvious symptom of his poor mental health. Even when those in his own party tried to tell him that he was crazy, (Emperor Bush, The Elder, called it Voodoo economics)) they were ignored.

You remember that bit of data about mental health; that one in four Americans suffers from some form of mental illness? Well, it’s just our luck that most of those so afflicted run for office.
