When I see pictures of what the US looked like in the 70s before the Clean Air Act, I see a very dirty country that was allowing companies to kill its citizens. I can't imagine anyone wanting to back to those days. Deregulation always causes economic collapse. Always. You argue things got better after the collapse but you didn't argue a collapse didn't happen. Are there better ways to do it? I suggested targeted deregulation and never for an entire industry but even then we have to be very careful. The damage from banking deregulation has been with me my entire life so my perspective may be different. The debt alone will never be paid back so I won't ever see "better." On the flip side of the coin is the economic good that comes from government. For example, the free market didn't create the Internet. It took visionaries like Al Gore to make it available to everyone. Imagine our world without smartphones, Google, social media etc. I always find it odd that one of the greatest inventions in human history was created by government, the same institution that's hated by republicans. Amazing.
