…the stock market would establish a solid foundation for rising values in coming years

…our presidential campaign season was much shorter and less exhausting…for candidates AND voters

…airlines that lack serious competition in various markets didn’t gouge the public

…we could benefit more from years of practical business experience of millions of retirees, rather than simply “putting them out to pasture”

…each long-term member of Congress was required to take a year off, start a new business with limited funding, and then deal with the complexities and hassles THEY have created

…drive-by shootings were replaced by drive-by moonings

…the game of politics in Washington, D.C., involved a little more cooperation and a little less confrontation

…stronger Mexican economic growth would provide more good jobs at home

…the outcome of many lawsuits was determined more by the facts and less by who has the deepest pockets

…Johnny Carson was still king of late-night TV

…we didn’t have a $10,600,000,000,000 gross national debt, and we weren’t spending nearly $1,000,000,000 DAILY just to pay the INTEREST on that debt

…Howard Stern was never heard from again
