Reagan said explicitly that the majority of functions performed by the government other than defense could better be served by private entities in a competetive marketplace.

That's when I stopped listening to the old hippies and went Reaganaut. That and his confrontational strategy to end the Cold War. Unfortunately, he couldn't foresee how some of the functions taken over would be abused (the corporate prison industry I mentioned before). Without strong oversight humans will almost always succumb to their base temptations.

Reagan was my Commander-in Chief. Times then were great.
