Why would you want to? Savings and Loan collapse? Iran Contra? Crack
epidemic? New Coke?

Crack and stupid consumer offerings are irrelevant. The other 2 items you
mention were irrelevant to the big, and economic, picture. 25 years ago,
but even then diminishing, the U.S. was a major auto, steel, tools, dies,
machinery, consumer goods producer. That's history. The name of the forum
has economics as the 3rd word. That's why it's on topic. If you like crime,
cultural pollution, unconstitutional government, Mexican and Islamic
invasions and wages at early 70's rates, you should be happy!

I AM on the other side of the fence; you side looks like a carcass.
