Can The Reagan Revolution Be Stopped?
By Thom Hartmann A...
The Reagan revolution continues. Donald Trump just issued his budget, and it contains over $1 trillion in cuts for healthcare, massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, sets up even larger cuts to Social Security and Medicare, cuts funding for the Centers for Disease Control and research into diseases like the coronavirus, and kneecaps the Environmental Protection Agency, among others.Paul Ryan may no longer be in politics, and Ronald Reagan may be dead, but the politics of greed and the top one percent continue to totally rule the Republican Party, and have an outsize influence in the Democratic Party. Until the Democratic Party returns to its New Deal and Great Society roots, there will be no serious challenge to the Reagan revolution. And without that there will be no revival of the American middle class.

I frame this dark era as the "Reagan Insurrection."
Ronald Wilson Reagan was a pupet used to dismantle the promise of America.
Will Forcing Kids and Teachers Back to School Be Trump's Waterloo?

Trump's first major policy change on his first full day as president was to gut implementation of the "Waters of America" Act.His change allowed coal mines and factories to increase their profits by dumping massive amounts of poison in our rivers and waterways.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
