So he is responsible for people being drunk, planes falling out of the sky and trucks being way to heavy for the roads.

My question still stands.

My question still stands.


1. People were getting drunk during prohibition.
2. Planes fell from the sky with the same frequency before deregulation. Pilgrim Air PM203 in 1970 was a big deal in 1970 in my neck of the woods. Cause: Fuel exhaustion resulting from inadequate flight preparation and erroneous in-flight decisions by the pilot-in-command.
3. The heavier trucks actually came under Reagan, who approved the double and triple trailers. The "Motor Carrier Act of 1980" had nothing to do with truck weights, but with price controls and the cost of market entry.

My answer still stands.
