Only 25 years ago this country was in very bad shape. I was just a kid at the time, but I clearly remember the malaise the country was in. We recently suffered a defeat in Vietnam, unemployment and inflation were very high ('stagflation'), gas prices skyrocketed, Iran held US hostages, our rescue force crashed in the desert, the Soviets were armed to the teeth and communism was spreading. The future looked bleak. Thank God for Ronald Reagan.
