Ronald Reagan and the Betrayal of Main Street America



About a month ago, historians ranked Ronald Reagan as the 10th best president in US history. Apparently these folks have forgotten just how much damage "The Gipper" actually did to America. When you look at his track record, you can trace almost every aspect of today's economic disaster back to Reagan's policies of deregulation, tax breaks, and complete lack of oversight for industry. In spite of this, Republicans today are still crying for the good ol' days of Reaganomics. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio discusses the truth about The Gipper's presidency with William Kleinknecht, author of the new book "The Man Who Sold the World: Ronald Reagan and the Betrayal of Main Street America."
