Not every person that identifies with conservative ideals wants to go back that far. Would we want to go back before Teddy and undo the trust busting? The fears of most conservatives and liberals is not to do with where we have been but where we are going. Most of those fears never happen and we continue on a moderate path. Social Security never goes broke and the Patriot Act does not turn us into a police state.
Would many things work better if left to private enterprise? I think so. Is government oversight necessary? Absolutely.
I agree that it would make for a good discussion but the time line should be left up to the individual.
I am not sure I am creative enough to start a cogent thread but I will think on it
