30 Years of Unbridled Deregulation has Brought Disaster
Edited on Fri Jun-04-10 04:32 PM by rhombus
We have Ronald Reagan to thank for a lot of our nation's woes. From banking, finance, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, to the environment, Reagan was the Master Deregulator. You reap what you sow.


We are in it for the long haul to reverse the damage.

6. ALL Republicans and just enough Democrats is NOT the same as bipartisanship
I'll slag Bob Rubin and Bill Clinton until the registered Aberdeen Angus come home, but Clinton didn't cave to every kleptocratic demand. There's more than a dime's worth of difference between the parties, and even a misguided and misleading corporatist like Barack Obama is in an entirely different phylum from swine like Phil and Wendy Gramm. It may only be 37 cents, but there IS a difference, and those who equate the two do us a huge disservice.

4. Are any of our Nation's ills NOT due to deregulation, hatred and greed?
RepubliCon "values"; we need to push back!
