Ronnie started to carry out their program of bankrupting the Federal government
The program is: (1) yell about taxes while (2) driving up military expenditures and corporate give-aways in order to (3) force an ever greater amount of federal revenue to be handed over to bankers as service on the federal debt, meanwhile (4) cutting services and (5) screaming about what a shitty job the government does at everything in order (6) to build public opposition to regulations protecting the evirornment, public health, and worker safety
