    The Reagan Administration was America's death knell. He is the guy who sold the GOP on trickle-down economics. He tripled the debt. He started the trend of massive deficit spending.

    Before Reagan our country was funded by taxes. After Reagan our country is funded with debt. Never ending debt. That's the dirty little secret rightists don't talk about.

    Medicine has always been a for profit business. Nobody goes to college, medical school, interns and then buy copious amounts of liability insurance out of the goodness of their heart. LOL
