    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.

        When the votes cast were actually counted in Florida, Gore had more. FL was called for Bush before then, and the SCOTUS ruled 5-4 that what they initially called should stand.

            Sure, only the votes of 9 people that weren’t elected matter. The votes of the citizens of Florida are meaningless.
