    Hmmm…I seem to remember the Republicans in Congress actually having a spine with Nixon. Though I do agree things weren’t roses back then. The cost of living was easier, but we paid for a lot of things we don’t now. $12 for one CD vs $10 a month for Spotify. But I would say the late 90s/ pre 9/11 was pretty nice for the US. Not the case for the rest of the world admittedly. But we definitely have nothing on how bad the 20s, 30s and 40s were.
