The constant drumbeat for tax cuts to promote politicians to office, especially on the right wing extreme, leads to fewer resources for fewer regulators so we have catastrophic breakdown in the regulatory systems of government. Then the tax cut promoters claim that the resulting crippled government is the same as a good government and claim that government in general can never do a good job--unless it is stealing resources from other nations by armed force--which they seem to admire and enshrine as patriotic. Never mind those poorer people in the US and worldwide who die to serve this part of their design.

The righties argue that we should both (a) let the so-called free market take of things and let the companies regulate themselves; or (b) privatize the regulation. Option is a demonstrable failure in every instance. Option b is of course more expensive than government regulation but provides profit opportunities for friends of the righties in the business world.

Righty rule since 1994 has been all about destruction of government and regulation, leaving your kids to suck on lead covered baubles from our debt-holding master China.

Wake up and smell the right wing at work. Dread, tough guy, time to pass instant judgment on yourself and cut off an arm or a leg of your own.

Have a nice weekend. I look forward to more government resouces being devoted to regulation to protect my family and firends from scheming, unprincipled "businessmen" and their righty enablers.
