I know who Bruce Bartlett is. There is another key member of the Reagan Administration who now preaches hard against the policies of the time. As Bill Cosby once said, "He's just an old my trying to get into heaven now." He bailed on the administration to work for a college. I'm not going to mention his name because I don't want to promote the man. We can all look back from 30 years up the road and look brilliant when we speak of past policies. That's what they say about hindsight.

Don't you find it odd that these men are for what's hip and hot right now? You're intelligent and thoughtful. I can see that.

The whole economic debate comes down to which side of the fence you're arguing from. If you're a small player in the gas industry, for example, you want less government. You want less regulations. You want less interference in general. I know this first hand.

If you're the part of the democrat base you want more. That's just true. That party markets itself to the poor by telling them what they want to hear, and they buy it hook, line, and sinker. That's why all those people who'd never pulled a lever in their lives came out from under the woodwork to Vote for Obama. They didn't know what you and I know. Obama, as a candidate, didn't reinvent the wheel. He just marketed to ignorant people who didn't know any better. Half of them have turned on him because he didn't give them the free ride he promised. Sadly that isn't enough and he will likely get reelected.

Government invades our lives in ways it was never supposed to. I'm NOT saying the government shouldn't regulate and create laws and so on. Of course it should, but by agreeing with Danno's post my point is the ONLY plan that will work is a plan that gets government back to where it was intended, because that's what made American great once, and it can never be great again unless and until the business of politics is changed.

Economists can and will argue over what's right. That's what they do. None of it is accurate, because it's all based on somebody's agenda. You don't find the Economists educated at Berkeley disagreeing with one another though. Go figure. I am a disciple for none of them.

You're looking for specific answers to specific problems. I'm telling you that I'm looking at the bigger picture.
