"Why would we want to return to the policies that brought us a stagnant middle class even in the best of times, widening inequality, out of control financial markets, the biggest recession in recent memory, declining rates of health care coverage, threats to Social Security..." Well, when you put it THAT way it sounds so bad. I mean, why come up with new ideas when you can just make blanket statements about smaller govt and freedom? I'm not looking forward to the gridlock ahead.
