Letter: From first to worst

Editor, Daily News:

Ronald Reagan said in his first presidential campaign, against Jimmy Carter: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"

If this now famous question were asked today and expanded to five and a half years, only a small percentage Americans would answer "Yes."

Even those few who could possibly answer "Yes" would be wrong, once they put aside their greed and political hard-right views, or maybe they just cannot admit they voted for the wrong people.

The damage to the United States and the world inflicted by this administration and our Republican-led Congress is absolutely criminal.

In a survey conducted last month, Reagan, who had a Democrat Congress, was labeled the best president in the last 50 years.

George W. Bush with his Republican Congress of today was the worst.
