He fails to mention the role of big government, which is not surprising, since I haven’t seen any indication that Patrick favors a smaller government.
Buchanan mentions it's existence only in passing, here:
At the Cold War’s end, the GOP reached a fork in the road. The determination of Middle Americans to preserve the country they grew up in suddenly collided with the profit motive of Corporate America. The Fortune 500 wanted to close factories in the USA and ship production abroad – where unions did not exist, regulations were light, taxes were low, and wages were a fraction of what they were here in America. Corporate America was going global and wanted to be rid of its American workforce, the best paid on earth, and replace it with cheap foreign labor.He is quick to blame corporate America for wanting to maintain profits by offshoring, to decrease the growing cost of doing business. He does not address the cause - increased regulations and taxes - that led to the higher costs.
I can’t cite a list of articles he’s written, right off the top of my head, but yes, Pat Buchanan is a proponent of *much* smaller government. I’ll try & dig around later & post or Freepmail some links to you.
