So government (my congressman) IS the problem! Thanks for reinforcing what Reagan said 40 years ago.

Sure, but what these types of people fail to understand is that the only way to solve the problem is also government.

It turns out the real world is a big complicated messy place and there's rarely a simple answer like "delete government!"

This cult of personality in American politics is such a curse.

Ironically, your guy Reagan was paid and supported by the AMA to fight “socialized medicine” and increasing the number of doctors in the 1960s.

It really is. I’m not a fan of Reagan’s politics, but I respect his point of view.

But the weird deification of him, now displaced by the new guy’s cult of personality is so awful and toxic. He’s either a giant among men or a demon, and both positions are wrong.

I think the weirdness is the recent condemnation of him by the far-left. They are shitting on a guy who has been dead for 20 years. It's absolutely bizarre. It seemed to start about 2020 out of the blue.
