"Moderated Capitalism” is the free market moderated by democracy to ensure everyone benefits, can participate and plays by the same set of rules.  When much of the world was debating the extremes of socialism versus unregulated capitalism, under the guidance of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, we took a middle path:  Moderated Capitalism.  The Republican Party has been gradually undermining moderated capitalism for decades. Now, with Trump and DOGE, we have reached the suddenly stage.
