9. Reagan was a definite turning point.

People didn't like Carter telling them the truth, so they picked a story-teller instead.

Ronny promised to cut the deficit, increase spending, and lower taxes all at the same time.

Anyone who bought that should have lost the right to vote.

But most of America jumped on board.

The seeds of the problem obviously go back much farther, but that's when the fateful step onto this slippery slope occurred.
