Comments on: Regulations and the Executive Branch http://www.newclarion.com/2008/12/regulations-and-the-executive-branch/ Our mission is to combat the unreason and selflessness that are sweeping our culture from the nihilist left to the religious right, and to sound a new ideal of capitalism and individual rights in American politics.

I have the tape but have not listened to it in several years and have forgotten the details.

It may be included in his treatise on capitalism, which I do not have a copy of. But I agree, changing the terms of the debate is a necessary method of winning the battle of ideas.

Are you aware of any written general plan for phasing out any of the regulatory "agencies" such as the SEC? It would be very interesting to see such a plan and be able to present it as a way of changing the terms of debate--to <i>how</i> to liberate the economy rather than whether to liberate it.
