If and if that's a big if Reagan hadn't been allowed to break up the union and had negotiated in good faith,we wouldn't have all of these derailments but because of his short-sightedness and wanted to be perceived as a strong leader the country took it's first steps towards the mess that we have today

It wasn't about looking strong, it was furthering the GOP goal of reducing American workers to poverty wages. That's what 40 years of stagnant wages have done. Combined with inflation the middle class has been gutted. Reagan put us on the road to a nation of haves and have nots, a giant banana republic.
