This is a political fault line that is older than our Republic. While I am for the Jeffersonian vs. Hamiltonian vision, the fact of the matter is that Hamilton won the debate during the presidency of George Washington. What vestige was left by the mid-1860's was wiped away by the Civil War. Then Teddy Roosevelt made us an internationalist nation, the politicians of the Wilson era gave us the income tax and direct election of senators, and FDR gave us socialism — which the American public had a great appetite for and still does.
Result? The nation we are today is not the one bequeathed to us by the founders. So how do we overturn over two-and-a-quarter centuries of history?
First what you don't do.
How do you stop a car careening down a back towards a cliff? You don't step on the gas and steer towards the pit at the bottom.
You overturn two-and-a-quarter centuries of history by stepping on the brakes, and asking others to help you. Reagan did this, but he was alone and requested help. Help didn't arrive until '94, and by then we had a cokehead at the wheel. Now that we've got both someone who, at least in theory, knows which way the road to RIGHTeousness lay, and a sympathetic congress - why is he still stepping on the gas and steering towards the cliff?
