It looks like an 80's after school special. Reagan got rid of all of those because the belief that public airwaves should be used for the public good, even only 30 minutes out of every 24 hours, is just too much to ask of private industry using public property. On the down side most of them were rather bland even if they were very educational and served a public good.

Um... no. It's because it's communist propaganda.

How the **** was Reagan responsible for getting rid of "80's after school specials" when the entirety of his presidency took place during the 80's?

So gee, the way to boost the economy and get us out of this recession is to raise the minimum wage so that working people have more to spend?

The after-school specials aired in the early-mid 1980s.
Reagan was president at that time.

If they had aired before Reagan were president, he wouldn't have gotten the credit for them.

At the end of his term he changed the FCC rules so that you no longer had to do public service announcements.

I should also note that the greatest PSA of all time aired in 1991. The GOP really is the party of after school specials.

So . . . could raising the minimum wage, and then indexing it to inflation help move more working poor off of welfare?

Given conservatives' hatred for social welfare, I would think some would propose solutions for getting more working poor off of welfare. What are some of the proposed solutions?
