33. stagflation, Andersen, and Reagan's mindless optimism

People thought Carter was a bummer. They didn't want to hear the truth. They didn't want to conserve gasoline or anything else. They wanted to drive 95 mph on the freeways and hope for the best.

Everybody's forgetting what a big impact Andersen had. He was sort of the Ralph Nader of 1980.

I still remember the day Reagan was elected. I was in college. It was my first election. I couldn't believe that this nimrod had been elected president.

And then there was Watt. Ughghghghggh. I vowed from that day forward to never vote republican again.
