#1 An anniversary that is drawing zero attention in the MSM, for some reason.

We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one. So they're going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning. Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer—and they've had almost 30 years of it—shouldn't we expect government to read the score to us once in a while? Shouldn't they be telling us about the decline each year in the number of people needing help? The reduction in the need for public housing? But the reverse is true. Each year the need grows greater; the program grows greater.

This guy saw a long way down the road.

#2 Mitch McConnell and John Boehner don't know who this "Reagan" chap is, but you can bet they have plans to "crush" him.
