3) LBJ was a piece of work; no argument there. His mishandling of the economy, and his financial irregularities contributed greatly to the problems we faced in the 70's.
It would not be fair to say it was SOP for IKE, or those who went before.
4) This is something of a footnote. Did you know George W Bush chaired the committee that deregulated the banks? He was part of that crisis, and the coverup that followed.
None of this is intended to mean that the Dems are better. We have a corrupt goverment that is poorly suited to dealing with rapid change.
If someone said to me, pick the candidates for this race; i would choose
a Colin Powell vs George Mitchell contest. To tell you the truth i hold both in the highest respect, and am not at all sure which way i'd vote.
As to the theme of reform, implicit in many of your comments; i have been working towards saying this: this goverment is what it is. The problems it has now will continue to worsen (example: The Agricultural Dept. now writes govt payroll checks- just try messing with Ag the way Carter did, and see how far you get). Piecemeal solutions try to move the sand off a beach with a teaspoon. There is only one possible solution, and that would be a Constitutional Convention. We, however, lack something our forefathers had, it will never happen.
So, there is a rule of thumb from Chaos theory, make small moves, avoid the big risks. And mostly that is my intent when i vote for someone.
