Theres an especially hilarious part of the interview where Jim talks about how McAdams pushes this totally bizarre right wing, voodoo economics talking point aboug how the country is doing so much better now than it did before Raygun ( economically speaking).
Im 60 years old. I remember the late 1960s and early 1970s when getting a decent paying job with only a high school diploma was not unusual. I remember when those jobs paid enough to pay a months rent with approximately one weeks wages.
To claim that the pre 1980 economy was worse than the post 1980 economy ( in terms of the post war period) is absolute crazy talk. McAdams spouts the classic propaganda that you hear on hate radio with its idolization of Raygun and that is some ingnorant bs.
