Thank you Dale for refreshing our memory. Leadership is a funny thing. I wonder if President Reagan would suggest spending our way out of the current financial condition when 95% of the population is still employed.
Dale,
Man, I miss Reagan! I wish he were the one being sworn in today. He was one of the best Presidents this nation ever had. He was a good man first and a politician second. May we see the likes of him in the future of this great nation.
Andy
