President Reagan’s Farewell Address
- Share via
Reagan’s farewell speech was a masterpiece of deception filled with hypocrisy. He failed to mention the scandals in his Administration, how he has been anti-labor, restricted civil rights, ignored the homeless, supported cuts in Medicare, VA, education, health and child care programs, tax increases for the middle class, surtax on senior citizens receiving Medicare, curtailed information to the media and finally approved the 50% pay raises which boosts his own pension--in addition to the $49,000 pension he receives from California. I say: Good riddance!
