26. People aren't CURIOUS anymore.

They've taken the fun out of Education.

Explains the defunding and the rest, including why America today is owned and operated by warmongers and traitors.

First, the guy made it OK to be a racist in America, again.



Just to make sure people got the message of where he was coming from, Reagan declared his candidacy in 1980 in Philadelphia, Mississippi.



President Obama would do well to learn, if not remember, the story from Terrel Bell, Prunefaces's shocked Secretary of Education, who heard White House staff refer to Dr. King as "Martin Lucifer Coon":



After he became one of the one-percent, Pruneface didn't care much for poor people or working people.

The Trickle Down crowd still holds sway in Washington, ask David Stockman or Penny Pritzker.

Then, the Prunefaced sumbitch made some kind of deal with the Ayatollah in order to hold the hostages until after the election.

Then, after the election, and after the Ayatollah blew up the US barracks in Beirut, Reagan did another deal with the Ayatollah to free another batch of hostages and used the profits to finance an illegal war in Central America.

Of course, Poppy Bush pardoned the various conspirators on behalf of the BFEE.

Poppy sort of took charge of things after Reagan, eh, slowed after that almost-assassin's bullet got him.
