Alan Greenspan? Randian? In what universe?

Do you recall the budget deficits when Reagan was obligated to play swap politics in order to get the things which were really important to him?

Reagan is one of the greatest leaders this country ever produced, but you are grossly mischaracterizing how he accomplished it. There were a number of trades which he made in order to focus on those policies most important to him.

Alan Greenspan? Randian? In what universe?

This one. Do a google search on Alan Greenspan Ayn Rand and see what you come up with.

Greenspan came from Randian circles of the late 60s, but later, dropped any connection to them to the disappointment of Objectivists.
