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

Conservatives citing the success of environmental regulations they opposed as a reason to oppose tackling new problems is very annoying. But it’s true! We averted a lot of problems people worried about in the late-sixties and early-seventies thanks to the EPA. — PolitiTweet.org
