ALEC has strengthened it's ideology across the entire political spectrum.

Government oversight has vanished because corporations want it that way. The deregulation mantra has reached fever pitch. Rand Paul would take it a step further and just stop the pretense that there is actual oversight. In a sense, he is right. If the government is looking the other way, then why even pay for an expensive bureaucracy for them to do so?

The best answer would be efficient government oversight, but since it is not happening at almost every level, perhaps it is time to dismantle a few government departments.
