    If Gore had won the presidency, things would have turned out very differently. And let’s not forget that things worked out quite well for a while under Clinton.

      Same with Reagan (for some). When you rip out the brakes you get to go fast, which is great, until you need to turn or avoid a brick wall.

      The positive effects of deregulation are instantaneous, which is great for the current administration. The shit hitting the fan takes its time, which is bad for later administrations.

      EDIT: Gore did win. Never forget that.
