Which is why the meme of waste, fraud and abuse was so popular in the late 80's and 90's. People wanted to believe government was pissing their money away. They wanted someone to blame. And since Reagan had provided the subtext that the money was going to the underserving poor, it was an easy campaign to sell. The Dems never really answered it, they never defended government and explained how efficent it was in reality. They were scared off from doing so by the think tanks. Grover and Steve and the rest of the Olin/Scaife mafia was making a cottage industry convincing the public that the market solved all problems.

In a continuing effort to come up with some other language than "Our platform is jobs, damn it!" I bring you my second generic democratic political spot Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself is now airing on YouTube.
I had begun a diary Monday evening with the intention of bringing a personal political history to these pages. When I saw maxgray7's diary I was happy to see his political history at its inception. This is my own story and it is meant to be a quick reflection on who I am and what I bring to Daily Kos.
