Dishonesty Economics

I think it’s really

important to understand the tariff issue. It’s pretty clear that Trump has espoused free trade. And I think there’s little question that that is the ideal. So country A has no tariffs on country B, but also country B has no tariffs on country A. THAT is free trade!

And several big countries (including India if I’m not mistaken–I think) have decided that they will no longer charge ANY tariffs at all on American goods. And in response, Trump has said that he will not charge any tariffs on them. Again, THAT is free trade.

You know what is NOT free trade? When country A charges no tariffs at all, while country B charges 80% tariffs on country A’s products. THAT is the issue. I mean, how many Ford dealerships are in China? And why do you think that is?

But it is rather amusing to have Leftists squeal like stuck pigs when Trump applies retaliatory tariffs! It’s not like we start from zero on both sides, and it is clear that if that were the case there would be no tariffs at all. But it is utterly foolish to say that I will charge no tariffs on your products but I will pay 80% tariffs on yours.

That ain’t free trade!

It’s just funny (and rather ironic) to have Democrats, who have never been on the side of free trade, suddenly present themselves as the modern incarnation of Milton Friedman! I don’t believe them. I think it’s merely more googley-eyed Trump hatred. These folks don’t actually know a dang thing about economics.

Oh Democrats!

How is it that you are so tone deaf?

Politico reported today that newly elected Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin began weeping (multiple times!) during a Zoom meeting of DNC officers. The article — “‘You essentially destroyed any chance I have,’ DNC chair told David Hogg in private meeting” — paints a vivid picture of the estrogen-fueled pillow fight between the DNC’s top leadership.

It’s almost unbelievable.

That’s right: The person whom the Dems think will win back the young men… is a 50-something female pro-abortion activist! [emphasis in original]

Lefty Political Philosophy

Please understand,

Leftism is BUILT on the foundation of violence–violence in all forms, great and small. Violence is not an unfortunate and occasional side-effect of Leftism. No, Leftism hides behind the mask of a smiley face, but that is just a disguise, meant to fool the rubes. Behind it is the snarling maw of Hell.

Lefties are NOT about persuasion, logic, reason, science, or any such thing. At heart, they are about bullets, fear, perversions, and lack of moral agency. Please, don’t be fooled!

Oh, so it

turns out that the BBB actually does start to pay down the deficit!

NO ONE is saying that this is a “one and done” and that all fiscal restraint begins and ends with the BBB. But it IS a start. We have a long way to go, but the deficit problems are NOT going to be all solved in a single bill.

Let’s take a page from the Democrat playbook: Take what we can right now and expand upon it later. As the Haitian proverb goes, “Little by little the bird makes his nest…”

Insurrection

Whose country

is it, anyway? The Federal Government has a responsibility to put down insurrections. And that’s what this is. Newsom and Bass may not like it, and both may indeed be part of the insurrection, but we have long known how to react to such things.

And plain and simple, if YOU support it you are being immoral. You need to change!

Again, a point that I and many others have made before, if your protest is “fiery,” then it is no longer a protest. “Mostly peaceful” is not a thing. Your protest is peaceful, or it is no longer a protest. There is no third, half-and-half concoction.

Please understand

that this insurrection is funded by YOU. Because Leftists LOVE the heavy hand of despotic government, so they are grossly over-represented in the apparatchik-class.

Republicans tend to parley a successful private career into a political one. Democrats tend to have a DC career (elected or staff) as a professional goal in and of itself.

We are not the same…

Yes, this is a

gut-check for Democrats everywhere: YOU and YOUR morality are in the balances, here. So I guess we will see what you are made of!
