Although I don't disapprove of those two things, he also started federal environmentalism.

It's pretty horrible that people are interested in healthy drinking water now.

That's true, but it had relatively little effect on industry- certainly far less than environmental regulations today.

Wall Street conservatives approved of his limited trust busting, since breaking up "illegal" combinations was good for business. TR was strongly supported by business in 1904, despite the fact that Parker was a proven conservative.

If there's shared water, they obviously have a common interest in seeing it clean. Much like countries.

Anyway, I disapprove more of federal control of land and such.

Spitzer must be the new Teddy Roosevelt, he manages a 58%-18% approval rating amoung Republicans.

What incentive would they have if it's all going downhill to California, and they have a big old factory right at the border?

Your statement is true, insofar that Wall Street's bottom line is profit, which comes before ideology.

And what could be more capitalistic than that?

*sigh*
Capitalism cannot cohexist with corporatism, even becuase corporations are nothing more than an artificial creation of the state made to protect management from being personally responsible for damange they cause to people.
Big business has since long resoirted to state manipulation of teh markets in order to be protected from competition.
the most glaring example is the Detroid cartel of Auto Industry, which consistently donates money to legislators who put in place regulations to the auto industry. Suicidal behavious you may think.
But alas, they, multinational billin dollar companies have no trouble matching those regulations. But would be competitors, have their enrance in the market forever made impossible.

Puh. A 5 is way too high. That would put him up there with James Madison, Ronald Reagan, Calvin Coolidge, and Grover Cleveland. I would give him a 3, or maybe a 4 at best.

Yes indeed.

And I'm trying to remember I think trustbusting was started under the McKinley administration... But, I can't be sure.
