michael lewis tells us about the war on government agencies being waged by the men and women who lead them. but first, here's my take. the death of george h.w. bush has occasioned a fair amount of nostalgia, and also created a debate. you have to be a white anglo-saxon prostitant to ascend to almost any position of power in america until the early 1960s. surely there is nothing good to say about a system that was so discriminatory towards anyone else. actually there is. for all its faults and it had many, often bigoted, in some places segregationist and exclusionary. at its best it did have a sense of honesty, humility and public spiritedness that seems largely absent in today's elite. many of bush's favorite moments is handling of the fall of communism, his decision not to occupy iraq after the first gulf war, were mark bide restraint and the ability to do the right thing despite enormous pressure to pander to public opinion. but and here's the problem, it is likely that these wasp virtues flowed from that era elite. the aristocracy was quite secure in its power and position so it co

. >> if you are looking for something great to read, michael lewis has a book about the inner workingsncies actually are are. but the point he makes very clearly, and it's so relevant now, is when government agencies don't work, when they're not overseeing nuclear risks, environmental risks, things like that, it starts to get very dangerous. i think the question future historians are going to be asking is how much of the safety culture began to degrade very quietly under the current administration and actually, frankly, before it, as well, while everyone was watching the soap opera and the reality tv show of the white house. >> look, we can go back to steve bannonen's three buckets and one of those buckets was the deadministration of the state. part of what that involved was appointing people over these agencies who in some ways billion their careers on -- >> push against them. >> so you think about epa, you think about energy, you think about interior, you think of all of these places. so one of the things that it has been -- one of the darker currents of republicanism since the age o
