President Reagan, arguably the greatest "economy" President of our lifetimes, figures all too little in folks' thinking today. Like the beach, the economy waxes and wanes. But Reagan Republican Bush and his Treasury head Hank "the hammer" Paulson have now all but guaranteed that the financial sector will once again be heavily regulated. By foisting TARP on the banks, Paulson violated every tenet of Reaganomics. What his stupidity has cost us will take decades to put right. Here on the Left Coast we build State Highways (PCH/RT 1) on barrier beaches and jetties abound. You can only imagine how much money the Corps spends on beach renewal annually and repeatedly.
