Punctilious has an excellent pictorial tribute to our 40th President. I don’t think I could come up with anything better.
During the dark days of Jimmy Carter’s Presidency, I consistently whined about politicians being too cowardly to take the steps necessary to get our economy under control That is, lessen control of the economy by the government. It was something that needed several years to take root, maybe as many as five. What politician is willing to take action that would see no results before the next election?
Ronald Reagan.
He did things boldly. He said what he meant and meant what he said.
God Bless you, Mr. President.
