The Era of Reaganomics


Since our country is gearing up for the presidential elections next year, I thought a post about our 80s president, Ronald Reagan was in order. Now, my memories of Reagan are pretty "warm and fuzzy", probably because I didn't pay too much attention to politics in the 80s (I wonder why?). This video is a raw look at the Reagan presidency and shows both the positive and negative opinions of him as president. There is also footage of the assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr. Since it's on MTV, of course there is 80s music and commentaries from musicians and actors—and that alone makes it entertaining.

I cried when I watched his funeral because he was such a big part of high school. He was like a grandpa-President for kids our age.
