Both...
From a corporate standpoint, far freer and less regulated... there is almost no regulations lol... corp taxes were cut, deregulation hit and all mergers were allowed to go thru.
From a govt policy standpoint, the governments use of the fed, printing money, interest rates and overall policy has benefited only the wealthy and govt bailouts, stimulus were utter failes for the common man.
Basically they got involved in what they shouldnt have... and didn't get involved in what they should have.
