Hitting The Road

Dorothea Lange, Library of Congress
"Just remember, for every person who is out of work, there are nine of us with jobs."
—President Reagan on the unemployment rate

Capturing the FYIGM essence of his party; quoted by Paul Slansky, The Clothes Have No Emperor.

Another quote from Slansky: Roger Wilkins on the man who would depart the White House in January 1989—
"A high-powered cheerleader for our worst instincts, a nasty man whose major talent is to make us feel good about being creepy and who lets us pretend that tomorrow will never come."
