I remember the good old days |
|
… when we used to have a school system that worked
... when politicians would occasionally tell the truth
… when federal and state governments took care of the poor and elderly
… when teachers were actually admired
… when libraries were fully funded
… when the US Treasury told the truth
… when local governments would hire cops and firemen
… when the federal government actually held people accountable for their actions
… when the federal government actually was accountable for their actions
… when the military budget was less than a trillion dollars a year
… when the federal government used to take care of federal bridges and roads
… when we used to have real reporting in war zones
… when banks used to loan money to people
Oh well. . . .

4. Well I can't think of a time when it all happened at once, but |
|
there were at least some bright spots here and there. Oddly, one of the people I hated most in my life, Richard Nixon, would be a flaming liberal these days.

furniture, medicines and everything else was manufactured within our borders and provided good-paying jobs.
