You're rarely wrong if you blame Reagan.
Oh Gingrich was/is a nasty piece of work. There are quite a few who we can always blame, but having lived through the AIDS pandemic, I reserve special loathing for Reagan.

Quite true. I'm sure he's responsible for the all weight I've gained during the pandemic.
