And you know what? FDR didn’t put up with BS environmental impact studies, lawsuits, and govt regs. He just got shit built FAR faster than its built today.

He wouldn’t have cancelled Keystone. He would have made it bigger, and built it faster..
Who knows how a 2021 version of FDR would have treated environmental issues.

Those “BS” regulations have also improved standard of living and add value to the economy.
Well I’m talking about the 1930s version that the left loves to champion.

What if we can have non-flammable rivers AND prudent banking regulations and infrastructure stimulus?

I know it's mind blowing, but you can take past concepts and adjust it for the modern world.

The cult of Reagan isn't anywhere close to the cult of Trump. It's more on par with the cults of Obama, Kennedy and FDR.
Yeah. In 2008 people weren't wrapping their cars and boats in Obama's image, flying flags, wearing clothes with his name and face in the way that MAGA has.

Really, we shouldn't be shocked. Trump knows how to brand (but somehow is abysmal at PR).
Ummmm Ibanez ... I was comparing the cult of Reagan, not the cult of Trump, to the cults of Obama, Kennedy and FDR.

:nod: Common sense regulations are a good thing. But you can have too many regulations just like you can cut or raise taxes too much.

Common sense is important but in short supply in our Capitol. Maybe we need to move more federal agencies out of DC and closer to their primary constituents.

No problem.

I wasn't alive for Kennedy or FDR but I was a poly sci major.
