Yeah this is the playbook for the last half-century. Loot the nation, privatize everything. Procurement and supply are run by the same elite class in a revolving door system. Reagan was the greatest scam artist of all time, and people still worship him (though that is finally changing).
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoDo you have some evidence that Reagan received a major financial benefit in exchange for the policies of his administration? The problem we have right now is that there are so many laws that the only people who know what they do are the lawyers for the industry they regulate. So the problem is that 80% of them are inefficient and competition-destroying bad laws, but who do you ask to figure out which 80%? The people who know the answer are going to tell you to repeal the ones they don't like, which is most certainly not the same thing. Reagan saw that we have too many bad laws we need to get rid of, but failed to solve the problem of determining which ones they are. That's the problem we still need to solve.
