We are talking around 36 years ago, before St. Ronny introduced “trickle down” economics. Since Rethuglicans started cutting taxes for the wealthy, $50 TRILLION has been moved from the middle class to the billionaire class

It was. We had money to build interstate highways, schools, social programs for the less fortunate. Never thought I’d see the current strain of fascism in the US

Our Interstate highway system was (republican president) Eisenhower's doing.

Today, he couldn't be elected as dog catcher on the R ticket.

Also, Eisenhower wouldn't have WANTED to be elected on today's R ticket. He wasn't very Republican to begin with and these days they're the fascists Eisenhower defeated in WWII. And if he once heard Orange Jenius talk about the WWII dead as "losers" and "suckers" all bets would be off.
