Teddy Kennedy - Sometimes He Made Sense

For better or for worse, Teddy Kennedy was an important figure in American politics for 40 years. We all know him as a fierce fighter for liberal causes. But, it's being brought up here and there now that he actually bought into one of the prime truths of the RTP Blog!

The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition. They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations.

Yeah, that's Teddy Kennedy in 1978, when liberals were at their zenith of power, fighting for deregulation of the trucking industry. He sounds like a run-of-the-mill contributor to RTP!
Huzzah Teddy Kennedy, RIP.
