Ideas are consistent. Some ideas are born from logic, and others from observation. Ideas can be tested. Good ideas work, and should be repeated. Tax cuts worked magnificently for Kennedy, Reagan, and Bush 43. Keynesianism never has worked, proven by Roosevelt, Carter, and now Obama.
If Obama had the wisdom to dissolve EPA, FDA, and SEC, the economy would soar. If you are an admirer of those constrictive bureaucracies, you have nothing to fear.
Bush did not create the current mess. And if it’s a current mess, then Obama has to take responsibility for it, he’s been in office long enough. The mess was created by Clinton, and his push for housing for all, even those who couldn’t/wouldn’t pay for it.
Many economists argue Roosevelt’s policies extended the great depression.
Many also argue that Obama’s policies have extended the economic mess and that it would have been much shorter (although deeper) if there was less interference.
Why do you choose to ignore the mess Carter left Reagan?
EPA existed when Cuyahoga river caught fire. EPA has policies that hinder development and growth, and in turn, hinder protection of the environment.
Much of our food IS inedible and dangerous for us. Why are so many items allowed in the US in food, but not other nations? FDA also is what has helped create expensive medicines. If the FDA is oh so wonderful, why do we continue to see lawsuits for drugs that were approved by the FDA? Why are so many medicines that actually DO work held up in FDA approval?

Good point Winslow. Too bad, often bad ideas stick around even longer because you have a lot of people who rationalize for them.
