The Real Reagan Legacy

The Washington Post’s Harold Meyerson has a good piece on how Reaganonmics turned back the prosperity of the middle class that was part of the New Deal and began the current state of class warfare.

A related Washington Post story details how partisan politics got their start under Reagan building up to the disaster we have today.

Somehow, Dennis Hastert deems it appropriate to put a provision in a JOBS BILL that will allow churches to participate in partisan politics. The idea is bad, bad bad—but why is this in a jobs bill? Why—because Bush/Cheny wants to rally the conservative church-goer vote and this will help facilitate it (and this may be one bill that will get passed without issue).
