Thank you.  The Reagan apologists leave out a few things in their overly rosy take on the Reagan years.  It wasn't just deregulation, which led to a massive amount of corporate money being used to buy up other existing corporations rather than be put in creating new companies, it was also union busting, and the Savings and Loan debacle.  At the end of the day, the middle class took it in the shorts, especially blue collar workers.
