Fiscal Conservative Survival of the Fittest economics permeated the administrations of Reagan, Clinton, all the way to Obama; and George Bush and Newt Gingrich have likewise admitted to being Darwinists. Actually this economic philosophy and its ruthlessness was huge among Rockefellar, Jp Morgan, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, etc (see The Men who Built America), the slave Trade, Indian wars, Eugenics movement, Holocaust, etc..
The video ends with Obama calling for more regulation yet he hired the same thugs running Clinton's derivatives scam such as Summers and Gietner and the whole team was heavily influenced by Rubin who had gone on to City Bank and whom Obama bailed out for $100 billion as soon as he took office. Plus, his regulators were no more efficient than any other Administrations.
And Finally Greenspan admits after basically being caught that his Ayn Rand social Darwinism was wrong and destructive in the long run.
Unfortunately, Brooksley Born, the hero of the video is still relatively unknown and tells us nothing has much has changed with more economic doom on the horizon
