A funny thing that Reagan did was deregulate the fishing industry and simultaneously subsidize it at Georges Bank. Now there are no fish there.
Reagan also gave domestic business the most import relief than any other president (tarriffs being a form of subsidy).
Do we remember that SDI initiative? That had little to do with putting weapons in space. Its purpose was to use taxpayer money to subsidize the development of the fifth generation of computers.
Reagan talked so much about market forces, but he refused to let them work.
What a tool.
