I was referring to the decades since Reagan. The previous poster was implying Reagan was to blame for much of the ills of the last 30 years when the truth is this is a much safer nation today than when Reagan took office.
This nation is safer than when Reagan left office. This nation started getting safer around the tail-end of the Bush Sr. administration going into the Clinton administration.

I couldn't make it any less complicated. Could you please expand on which great American story you're referring to? There are many such stories.
^This will all fall on deaf ears. When someone believes they are morally and intellectually superior to you, they look down upon you. Nothing you say -- however factually correct -- will sway them. That's what pride does.
Yet it was his administration that began a generation-long regression in our society's consideration for those most vulnerable. Society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable members, and right when it started Angelou noted how Reagan betrayed his moderate projection and undercut our nation's moral stature by initiating decades of economic injustice.
we are there now.
An estimated 12.4 million Americans live in economically devastated neighborhoods, according to American Community Survey data collected from 2008 to 2012. That's an 11 percent jump from the previous survey, conducted from 2007 to 2011. Even more startling, it's a 72 percent increase in the population of high-poverty neighborhoods since the 2000 Census.
The ACS defines an "economically devastated neighborhood" as a census tract where at least 40 percent of its residents are at or below the federal poverty line. This most recent release is the first tract-level data collected entirely after the housing boom.
America is no longer # 1. Far from it thanks to NAFTA and failed policies from both sides since 1980.
