    Hmmmm. Less departments? Heads of departments not qualified or educated for that area by any stretch of the imagination? Safety guidelines reduced to mere suggestions or deleted completely? Entire Global Pandemic Response system, in place mind you, burned to the ground. Cancer research a pipe dream. Gas over $4. Diesel fast heading to $7. You know where I’m going. Regulations that protected us and soaring prices that force and allow big business to charge more and put less into their products got us here - I think. Just sayin’.

      “Government overreach! Bureaucracy! Big government is inefficient! Nanny state! Self-reliance! Freedom rah rah!”

      Watch out for those talking points. They sound great. Like common sense. Based.

      But really they are all about combating regulations that protect us from the excesses of greed which are tearing this world apart.
