Reagan’s Mountain
- Share via
David Kolpacoff (Letters, Oct. 31) chastises the “small, quaint cadre of liberals and radicals who fill The Times’ Editorial Pages with their anti-Reagan invective and nay-saying.”
His letter states, “We live in a time of prosperity and peace unprecedented in American history. Young people today will look back on the 1980s with warmest remembrances and their children will envy them these times.”
His letter concludes, “There was a time when I believed that room would have to be made for Ronald Reagan on Mt. Rushmore. Nonsense! Our President will have his own mountain.”
President Reagan has already built his own mountain. It is called the National Debt. Under Reagan’s Administration we have become a debtor nation. This multitrillion-dollar debt that our President chooses to ignore is the heritage he is leaving our children and grandchildren.
Long after he retires in continued luxury at taxpayers’ expense, historians will be pondering the popularity of this extravagant Pied Piper who gave us a mountain of promises and left us a mountain of debts.
