I know you scoff at the idea of limited government. To be fair, I don't think anyone is calling to abolish the FDA. I think you can limit the government a great deal without sacrificing crucial regulation. Imagine going before a group of middle class people in Indiana, mechanics, construction workers, nurses, ect, and trying in layman's terms to explain to them why the government should have more of their wages, while half the country pays no income tax. Imagine these people are not looking for a fight and will listen. Why should they give up their choices and be forced into government programs like universal healthcare? Why should they pay for other people's education, healthcare, food, and whatever else the government can dream up to take from them? Caring for the disabled is a given, by why should the government take their money and give it to other able bodied people in a national system that is guaranteed to be wasteful, a quasi one size fits all, and limits options and choice?I don't care about the parties. Right now, they're far more of an impediment than a positive. Tribalism is killing us.
Yes, we need to secure the border. The Dems are responsible for any uptick in problems there because of their longtime rhetoric.
I talk about markets and the economy regularly. It has been my profession for over 22 years. If my conversation on economics and markets has decreased, it's only because I'm sick of trying to discuss them with people who clearly have no idea what they're talking about, and are just repeating talking points out of arrogant ignorance.
