The Frankish Reich Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Did Alan Simpson get everything right? Of course not. But he was an honorable, decent, witty man who tried to move the country in the right direction. The 1986 Reagan amnesty was a perfectly defensible deal at the time, largely ruined by lax enforcement in subsequent years. The US would be a very different - and I say much better - place today if both parties hadn't completely ignored the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles budget commission. And in retirement he did not become a lobbyist. He joined an ordinary (yeah, it was personal injury) law firm and made money the old fashioned way, by suing people. 4
