Dumb as a box of rocks. Pathetically incompetent. Instinctively tyrannical. No empathy whatsoever.

Read up on him (google). He privatized SS in Chile, shoved trickle down economics down their throats, outlawed unions and much more. He was a big fan of the economics Prof. at the U. of Chicago whose name I have forgotten.
