Working class people can now afford air travel, you can ship oranges between states without applying for a special trucking permit, almost 50% of Iowa's power generation is renewable, stock market trades went from 80c _per share_ to retail traders being paid to trade, and we still manage to make and enforce rules so that average gas mileage has gone from 13mpg to 26mpg.

I don't agree with Rayiner about Texas, but I don't think you can wave your hands at 60s-70s deregulation and say "lol Milton Friedman". The deregulators were right about a lot of stuff.
