My friend, poet Robert Slater, tells me he heard an interview with Greenspan out of which came an interesting statistic: when Reagan became president a typical CEO averaged 43 times what a worker made, and when he left office that had grown to 400 times as much!
He also heard in a story on Air America, that between them, Reagan and both Bushes spent 90 percent of the money the USA has spent in its entire history.
Hmmmm. What exactly is it that conservatives conserve?
