Sure I Am On A Downer. I Have Very Good Reason For Being On A Downer.

Since 1981 I have seen the Reagan revolution and just about all the poison he released take effect. Except for a brief time with Obama it really has been downhill in many ways. Trump and his despicable gang are the frosting on the cake. Not that Bush was bad enough.

I had always hoped that things would change for the better but all I have seen was things get worse worse. And based on my own perspective the future seems bleak. November is our best and perhaps last chance to stop or stall this spiral. I have hope that resistance will work and we will succeed in November.

I would love to lighten up. But how can you when you hear so much new garbage each day. Trump has done everything that he has accused Hillary of. And he has done it on super steroids.

My cynicism regarding the future of America has never been higher.

I don't expect to live to see sanity restored (if we ever had it), and I'm 54. I've got 30 years, plus/minus.

you're not alone.

When it comes to the economic policies from Reagan to today. It’s a considerable amount of time for a corporate first mentality. Historically we have moved in the right direction with shorter periods of reversal.
