The Governments Job

The Governments Job

Government has three primary functions. It should provide for military defense of the nation. It should enforce contract between individuals. It should protect citizens from crimes against themselves or their property. When government, in pursuit of good intentions tries to rearrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interests, the costs come in inefficiency, lack of motivation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an active player.”—Milton Friedman

But even today, this dwindling band of bow-tied nimrods still whine despite these manifest conservative triumphs. And their numbers grow fewer as the evidence grows in support of an undeniable conclusion: The election of Donald Trump was a conservative triumph of a magnitude we are only beginning to fully appreciate.   here….

 

Happy 4th of July, enjoy the small things.

The Empty Promise Of Socialism

The Empty Promise Of Socialism

Andrés Manuel López Obrador

Overall, Obrador represents an ideological outlook almost identical to former U.S. Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders.  [coincidentally the same as former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez].   Hollywood celebrities and avowed leftists will likely embrace Obrador in 2018/2019 as they did Chavez in 2009/2010.  Watch, you’ll see.

AMLO has a governing philosophy almost identical to Bernie Sanders; the problem AMLO faces is his Mexican economic policy starts without any underlying Mexican wealth to spread around.  [Again, the Venezuelan issue]  Socialism only works when you have other people’s money, labor, and property to distribute.  The majority of the value in Mexico is owned by outside multinational interests.  Those multinationals will now have to figure out how to deal with a nationalist who despises their ownership and control.

[Again, see big picture Venezuela]

Eventually, in order to make good on his promises, AMLO is going to need to *take* value from private ownership and redistribute that wealth to his constituents.  That process may take a few years, but it is inevitable.   In the history of the world, a socialist economy has never survived itself (without absolute economic capitulation of the citizens).

When that process happens, those entities who have their wealth expropriated will exit the economic system.  It has always been thus; there has never been a socialist economy where that did not happen.. and that process begins the Venezuelan spiral.

The most dangerous time for a rescue swimmer is the moment when he reaches the desperate and drowning man.  The MOST IMPORTANT aspect for President Trump, and for the survival of the United States, is to make sure the U.S. is not pulled under when Mexico begins to drown.

That, my friends, is why we need the Southern Border Wall.  [Regardless of cost.]    Keep reading….

Heads Up

Heads Up

FYI, due to Trumps economic boom my business is swamped, finding time to post has become difficult.

I will continue to try and get something up when the opportunity arises but if I can’t do it every day be patient, I still have the weekends.

My apologies.

 

Divided

Divided

Sarah Sanders, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Florida GOP AG, all get ran out of businesses, now protestors are going to Kirstjen Nielsen’s home.

That’s it, we have become so divided that people who have different opinions can’t eat or go to a movie theater, even though they have done nothing comparable to what the gay couple did to the christian baker yet the conservatives are the ones still leaving quietly.

There will come a day when we won’t be so polite and that day is swiftly approaching, having a Trump official in your place of business will be the least of your worries.
