"Once Medicare becomes law Americans will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America, when men were free.”

I don't know if he said it, but if so, it is astonishing how accurate his forecast was. Amazing.

Medicare is now trillions of dollars in the hole, threatening the very existence of our democracy. Only some 45 years after passage.

Who, besides the Great Communicator, could have possibly foreseen this development


He said there would be no more democracy in America. Your great communicator was a circus clown. Besides, he knew little about sound economics.....after all, his administration invented supply side economics.
