The author is a lifelong Republican, a member of the House for 3 terms, and the chief budget director for Ronald Reagan during his first term.

Mr. Stockman lays the blame correctly on our crumbling economy. He says that it was a 40 year process...which I agree with.

An interesting article indeed. He even has scathing comments for the industry that made him a fortune.

Certain republicans that post here...need to read this and understand what true conservatives espouse. It ain;t the shit that's been floating around for the last 3 decades or so.

After Shutes and AndyWendt read this, maybe they will take their blinders off on the GOP being the "fiscally responsible" party.
