Famed editorial cartoonist Herbert Lawrence Block’s classic criticism of the economic strategies of the Reagan administration, published on Feb. 2, 1984.

“…one problem that we’ve had, even in the best of times… is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless who are homeless, you might say, by choice.”
-Ronald Reagan, 1984
