That is a truly wild bunch of historical revisionism. In the 70's there was a push for greater mental health treatment.

Reagan repealed the Mental Health Systems Act (the result of a commission under Carter) as part of his "small government" mantra.

Reagan was elected as a conservative backlash to Carter's progressive policies. We're talking about someone so petty he ripped functioning solar panels off the roof of the White House.

"Solar panels" - makes these sound like they were photovoltaics and not leaky solar waters heaters.

They leaked water, something you do not want happening in a historical property.

Reagan made a lot of terrible choices, removing leaky containers from one one of our nation's most iconic historic buildings is not among them.
