Let's not forget that Bill Clinton completed parts of R. Reagan's wet
dream of less gubmint, et al. After all, it was Clinton who gave us:

o The end of "welfare as we know it"
o The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which led in part to the
current economic crisis
o The removal of the Delaney Clause, which regulated allowable
pesticide levels in food (something Monsanto and other chemical
producers had been lusting after for years)
o Telecommunications "reforms" that turned over control of major
telecomm networks largely to commercial interests

There's more, if anyone's willing to dig a little.

Just as it was a Democrat, Steve Peace, who unleashed the monster of
energy deregulation in California which led to the rise of Enron (with
the blessing of Democratic governor Gray Davis--good riddance!).

Right. And it was Nixon who opened up relations with China.
