I make no distinction between GOP and GOPe. To me they are one and the same. Pretty much why I refused to join the Republican party 50 years ago when I turned 21. In 99, when the Republican party had BOTH houses, there were a lot more than just the “elite” in those chambers.
Rubin and Slick lobbied Congress heavily for GLBA. One week after it was passed, Rubin resigned as Sec.of Treas. and shortly thereafter ended up near the top of Citi.
As I stated on another thread on this subject, there were many wheels within wheels turning at that time....and the GOP was up to its earballs in it!
When did “Laissez-Faire Capitalism” become politically incorrect?
If this Trump campaign referenced Capitalism—the kind where government makes no laws infringing on the trade of private property from person to person, company to company, there would be a wild turnout for Trump. Who is John Galt? would be on every bumpersticker.
Trump, though I’m voting for him, is going to disappoint every faction of supporters because he is not a strict constructionist.
