Deregulation

* I am so gratified that at last we were able get the bureaucrats and government out of our lives and deregulate the electric utilities! Sure there are a few little problems, but if we stick to the course all will end well. Now, if we can just get school vouchers implemented so that the public school system has some competition, we will see what progress we can really make in that area. Finally, if we can get the federal bureaucracy to let us invest our own money as we see fit, instead of in Social Security, we can show the whole world what rampant capitalism can really accomplish. And no safety net, either. Sink or swim, get well or die--no bailouts!
