Re: "The change was rather dramatic, and it started with that defeat."

I think not.

I think the change started years earlier (when they found they could GET AWAY with posting huge deficits, so long as they kept their bases 'greased' and emitted a convincing enough smoke screen to keep the public confused... remember 'trickle down'?)

However, it *does* seem that that change in behavior ACCELERATED right with the beginning of the first Bush II administration... and fundamentally hasn't changed yet.

The general public STILL buys into the notion of 'free cake'.
