Title: Heritage Foundation vs. Reaganomics
Location: K-Talk Studio
Link out: Heritage Foundation’s “free trade” position
Description: I recently received a letter from the Heritage Foundation asking for money. They claim they are the greatest purveyor of Ronald Reagan’s principals in the country.

Although I don’t agree with Reagan’s “War on Drugs” or the “Iran Contra Scandal,” I do agree with many of Reagan’s economic policies as apposed to those of the Heritage Foundation.

This is rather relevant since it was the policies promoted by the Heritage Foundation that gave China a surplus of US cash, which enabled them to buy into Rio Tinto the multinational corporation that owns Kennecott Copper.

I will explain why their policies are diametrically opposed to one another.  This means the Heritage Foundation is being totally dishonest when they claim they are carrying on the traditions of Reagan.

Perhaps they are in foreign interventionism, but not in economics.
