Deregulation was signed by Jimmy Carter but Ted Kennedy was the one who wanted it. He blamed the Mafia, (Teamsters), for John Kennedy's assination. Kennedy won the election with the help of the Chicago mob. Those late ballots from there gave him the election. Joseph Kennedy asked for their help & promised they would be rewarded. The reward was the investigation & imprisonment of several mob members. Remember John Kennedy's little brother was Attorney General. Don't promise something to win an election & turn against those who put you there.
Deregulation & NAFTA were put into law by Jimmy Carter & Bill Clinton respectively. Some Republicans were also responsible for both.
I still think we need a Libertarian for President.
