Damn you, farmers! You took my Katie! Damn you to Hell!

Apparently, Reagan lost a mid-term election because he didn't give enough subsidies

I'm not sure what election you're referring to. Reagan won both bids for presidency, then retired into a respectable statesmanship of public speaking and not remembering to wear pants. He then died and was awarded a commemorative Jelly Belly bean in his memory, which is pretty much the best any ex-president can hope to earn.

But the issue of farm subsidies, as pertains to Reagan anyhow, is over twenty years old. Though many of Reagan's fiscal policies have had direct ramifications on our current economy, the global market is dramatically different.

What does Reagan have to do with the current matter? More interestingly, what "mid-term election" did he lose? I can't recall him losing any public elections; the man was rather beloved at the time.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
