GOP/DLC Deregulation Achievements and Accomplishments.
(Heavy sarc in that OP header)

Deregulation has 'achieved'...

Collapse of our Banking system.

Collapse of our economy.

Collapse of our middle class.

Dereg and lack of oversight directly caused the BP Gulf oil disaster. Greed and profits trump oversight and there is no such thing as self-regulation and self-oversight.

Deregs and lack of Govt oversight coupled with greed and profits directly led to the deaths of 29 Massey mine workers. Deregs have eroded worker safety protections.

Dereg has enabled ecological destruction. Environmental poisoning.

Deregs have allowed corporate America to take over our food supply and poison it.

Deregs have allowed HC costs to soar. Prescription drugs to become unaffordable.

All for profit, greed, power.

Deregulators, mostly GOP and some DLC'ers too, are the most dangerous people on planet Earth.

Deregulators are much more dangerous than jihadists. Deregulators are the terrorists.

Sarah Palin is an eco-terrorist.

Marginalize any who call for deregulation in this day and age.


PS What deregs did I forget to add? Feel free to add.

6. Got any links to support your claims that the DLC supported all of this deregulation?
or even some of it?
