You don't see a lot of Republicans out there saying like let's get back to child labor or whatever.
There's a couple of them.
There's a couple.
You can find them.

Great society in the 60s, I think you'd see more of a mix.
I think on things like Medicare, obviously that's widely supported.
No, that's right.

And so you get –
There's both sort of more of an acceptance of good parts over time, more of I think an increasingly sharp critique of pieces that didn't work.
But so you get in the great society, I would say, you swing through the, oh, these were good things that we really should have in this country into, whoa, we're starting to build up some stuff that is creating problems.
I think you see the same thing, for instance, with organized labor where I think the idea of worker power –
workers having unions, et cetera, that's a fantastic thing.
By the way, Adam Smith did too.
But you swing from they don't have any power representation at all to, okay, good, they have a seat at the table, they have equal standing, to by the 1970s in a lot of cases, they are actively leveraging that power into a lot of quite counterproductive things, I would argue.
Yeah, absolutely.
Right.
is you can't just fix the economy.
You can't get the growth you want just through what had become the main government model, which is just give people more money to spend.
