I have faith that the supreme being (God, if you will) will ensure that this, too, will pass. And that the Right and the Righteous (i.e., the Republicans) will lose such devastating and greedy control over the country I love and whose institutions of freedom, which I cherish, have been relentlessly eroded by their greedy grasp of power and capital.

A substantial amount of the deregulation that has caused recent woes goes back to the Reagan era.
