Use catalog # 459770 for complete speech. October 13, 1982 Democratic Response to Ronald Reagan.

Why would the administration want to stay this course? Maybe because so many of the top officials in the administration are millionaires who have no understanding of what life is like for most Americans. Maybe it is because they have their eyes so fixed on the tickertape on Wall Street that they don t see the growing pile of pink slips and foreclosure notices shutting down Main Street.
