Recent government conduct has been the result of decades of deregulation.

? can you help me understand, I am curious why you believe this to be the case?

By any metric I can think of US government regulation has increased dramatically. Size of US tax code, number of laws, number of regulations, number of government agencies, expenditures, population of washington DC, the # of people with security clearances.

The only thing that has decreased is total work force, but if you add in the additional hiring of contractors that reduction is also thrown into question.
