Wee-hoo my comrades, all of you! I'm an ass to do this another round, but I must needs to equate Trump's behavior these last hundred days with economist Milton Friedman's free market economic theories. I like Milton, even if the political left hates little Milton bad.
Friedman believed that in an unregulated free market, individuals are at liberty to compete for cash and prizes. Accordingly, income equality is complete BS, the spoiled mayonnaise of commie hopes. People act upon opportunity. People form relationships in mutual interest. It is believed that small business owners tend have mutual interest in sustaining peace, so as not be disrupted in their work. Friedman is best liked by libertarians who tend to believe big government is bad for business and bad for a free society. In this point, big government is acting as an authority. People must comply with the fed, and with regulatory agencies of all sort. Returning to Trump, less federal government could mean less interference in commerce. This point of view is common to the conservative right, understanding they are wealthy no matter how the fish fry.
Trump is reducing the scale of the federal government. I don't support any politicians. A US president is, to me, just another stupid prick. I didn't say Thomas Jefferson or Geo Washington were pricks, or douche bags. Bill Clinton did the prison industrial complex, mass incarcerating black people. One of the Bush fam said the Constitution was just a piece of paper, and did the Patriot Act. The Affordable Care Act was grotesque, and protects to this day the wealth and power of the medical establishment. Returning to whatever, the current downsizing of Fed Gov could be step one to a productive free market economy. With less regulation, and with less lobbying at the fed level.
I'm dragging Milton Friedman's economics through the garden in case anyone cares to equate what Trump does with what Milton discussed. If you feel this is stupid, you may be correct. One can hate a person and still admit the asshole is right about a goddam thing or three. And wrong about jesus fuck what else. Just equate Friedman's economics with what is happening now, and, that aside, have yourself a ball. Over and out, dear ones.
