I found Paul Pierson’s book “Dismantling the Welfare State?” looking at both Reagan & Thatcher to be very convincing in this regard. Programs, once established, are hard to eliminate. “Welfare reform” in 1996 is the exception and it’s a bit of an odd case. — PolitiTweet.org

Important reminder on the gap between rhetoric and reality: Thatcher didn’t actually dismantle the welfare state. https://t.co/Q15TPm2r4S

New York City is spending 3-10x what European cities spend to install elevators in the Subway. Or — NYC is installing 3-10x fewer elevators than the MTA capital budget should allow. https://t.co/9Ejm9lNXzK — PolitiTweet.org
