Attention Republicans: Stop being corporatists. WEEEEEE!
I think the "punishment" should fit the "crime."
The fine should be equivalent to the damage created IN ADDITION to the parties responsible having to pay for the damages.
That can end up with very expensive lawyers, but that's the fairest way AND acts as a deterrent.
There should be a floor limit on the fine, of course. The limit should be $250 million, now, with yearly inflation being applied for every subsequent year. That way, the $250 million fine "stings" every bit as much, later, as it does now. (PLEASE, no one point out that the value of the dollar's purchasing power can change, almost independent of inflation, at times. It will ruin my point, damnit!)

Prove it, 'cause at this point I'm about ready to jump ship and join with a bunch of whiny, smelly, liberal hippies because the Reaganite corporatists are raping America right up the ass.

Don't blame Regan, his economic handling only got him one thing; death by old age.

The dollar's purchasing power changes often, sometimes independently of inflation. This is in addition to the fact that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar tomorrow is more valuable in five years. Any structured settlement will almost certainly factor these things into account, as this is introductory economics. The lawyers in charge will know their shit.

lol, Reagan was the worst president ever. Sure I don't like Bush, but looking long scale most dumb ideas in american voters heads have their roots in Reagan policies.
Well, I think his legacy was how he won the American people over with his vocal patriotism and his war on communism. I'm rusty on my Reagan history as it's been a while, but wasn't he a big part of bringing down the iron curtain?
Well, I'll say this: he was a very shitty economics and environmental president...by far. One of the worst in history. But, imo, he had a foreign policy plan that was really good. (Debatable, I know.)

I'm not a fan of his foreign policy, either. There is really no proof that Reagan "defeated' the iron curtain; it was headed for destruction based on the inherent instability of not having the support of it's citizens.
The biggest problem though, is he inspired two things that still **** stuff up today: One, the reckless spending and incredible debt that has been built up since then (he was the first president to not give a shit about the deficit). Two, the notion that the government has no place regulating businesses. Well I think the consequences of that one should be pretty obvious.
