Firing Line Friday: Resolved: That Government Is Not the Solution; It Is the Problem

     In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.

     In 1981, Ronald Reagan declared during his inauguration speech that “government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem”. In 1990, between Reagan leaving office and Bill Clinton winning the 1992 Presidential election, William F. Buckley, along with Dick Armey, Jean Kirkpatrick, Charlton Heston, George, McGovern, Gary Hart, Pat Schroeder, and Dennis Weaver debated if the 1980’s showed this to be true.

     Until next Friday.
