Do you recall "revenue sharing" in America before(and after) Reagan?
"United States government revenue sharing was in place from 1972-1987. Under this policy, Congress gave an annual amount of federal tax revenue to the states and their cities, counties and townships. Revenue sharing was extremely popular with state officials, but it lost federal support during the Reagan Administration."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_sharing

Apparently, after Reagan, it became Banker bailouts. You know, the S&L bailout, the bush 2008 bailout.

2. You mean the era when we could drive down a local street and not
fall into a pothole?
