We noticed how Trump and the Repubs are pushing deregulation. Sucks, but it's not the whole story. It's enhanced by another Big Lie.
The Libertarian logic about deregulation is supposedly that we all have the right to sue if we are damaged by corporate misconduct.
Trump just fired 46 AGs with nobody in line to fill the seats. Appointments are down in the courts and I suspect they will stay down, or get pumped full of business friendly RW ideologues.
Think there's a connection?
I do.

(34,661 posts)We are talking Trillions of dollars from the Government Treasury via losses of Services to the bottom 47%,remember this number it will appear in and around GOP talking points once again,and this money will flow via tax and direct payments of the top 400 families in the US.
The next leg is raising Income Taxes on anyone making under 250 k via taking away deductions like medical expenses and the Mortgage interest,as well as child care. Understand the bottom rate moves from 10% to 12% and 28% will be the highest rate for the Trillionaires.
Why do you think the Budget Ceiling was jacked 20 Billion.

(11,686 posts)I have a horrible feeling that Obama was our last president. I am still convinced they are going to take over so well that the Trump family will be in power for many years to come. Yeah, we might have a vote but no matter who we vote for the Trump family will stay in rule. Maybe it is just me and I am being stupid but I am only going from what I am seeing what they are doing and what they say they plan to do.
