Nancy (sodascouts) and I talked about this before, and we both felt that the timing was off, and very insensitive towards his family.

But beyond any made-for-TV movie, all I know is that during the years Ronald Reagan was in the White House, my father lost his job because of a crippled economy, was forced to work any job he could find in order to just scrape by, and we had to go on food stamps.
Meanwhile, the rich got richer (and richer and richer).

So credit him all you want for the fall of the Soviet Union and for helping Upper-Class folks... but for me, the struggle of my family and thousands of familes in our area alone, always will be Reagan's true legacy as a President, and I will never forget the hell my dad went thru in order to keep a roof over our heads during that time.

End of story. Fade to black.

Amen, Johnny.
