Associated Communities:

They are endorsing Rick Scott. He isn't bad, but he has voted for $40B to ukraine & maybe supports a little gun control, but other than that he has practically voted same as Rand Paul. Far better than other Republicans. So will do.

I think because these two won't have that much support from senate, they don't want to split the votes by running.

Senate vote is on Wednesday (with anonymous ballots), and Rick Scott will be much better than that son of a bitch Mitch McConnell. He has a lot of support from people. A big net positive compared to past leaders, if he is elected. Other options running for that are absolute shit.

Depending on the people that get appointed in House, Senate & Trump admin by 21st Jan, and pardon of Ross, those day 1 promises, we can get a very good picture of how next 4 years are gonna play out.

I know what it says. I’ll let someone translate this poetic beauty.

I’m interested in learning more about tariffs from an Austrian Economics perspective, particularly in relation to the modern political landscape. Trump seems to make claims that tariffs will fix a lot of US economic problems and I don’t know enough about anything to understand why that does or doesn’t make any sense. Feel free to give reading recommendations, long form answers, or personal thoughts. I’m just curious what this sub thinks on the topic. Thanks.

According to the free Ross twitter account, they’re claiming he’s coming home in January. Can’t wait to hear from libertarians how Trump isn’t going to follow through with anything.

A Trump-Musk-Paul admin is the best chance we've ever had to actually end the Fed. IF that actually happened, what impact would it realistically have on inflation and prices in the short (<1yr) and long term?

Looking for some serious conversation on this.

The economy, the economy .. the ecoonomy. It's what everyone is screaming about and the top topic of the agenda. And yet barely none of voted policies have anything to do with the improving it, the opposite we only chip away from it for the sake of something else.

I work on the semiconductor field, and as you may know, covid has caused a shortage ( thanks daddy government) and government figure out that they don't like not controlling such an important commodity ( took them 50 years to figure it out). While the free market is fighting to supply us with our chips and electronics, government through out the world are pumping 100's of billions to develop 'local' controllable semi conductor industry that will be worsed than what the free market provides. Litteraly sacrifing an ungodly amount of ressource for the sake of control and a sense of security.

Outside of libertarians, nobody see the issue.

This type of protectionism policies are everywhere, food, energy, transportation... you name it.

Everybody likes to say they want more purchasing power but when it comes to it, they are more than happy to sacrifice it to satisfy their emotional wants. ( a fake sense of security)

Pardons

1. Free Ross
2. Pardon Snowden
3. Pardon Jan 6ers

Team

1. Senate Majority Leader, Spreaker of The House : Rand Paul, Thomas Massie or candidates they endorse
2. Department of Agriculture : Thomas Massie
3. Mike Pompeo not part of Trump admin
4. RFK Jr. fully in charge of health related agencies
5. Elon in real position of power to make reforms with DOGE
6. Ron Paul in some offcial role

Reforms

1. National Voter ID requirnment
2. National school choice
3. Deregulations
4. Audits of Agencies
5. Twitter Files like thing of government
6. Limiting agency overreach, more liberties for people. Elon & Trump witnessing all that insane lawfare against them, I really hope this is done seriously

Don't really expect these reforms

7. More Deregulations, 8. Simplified taxes

Abolishments

1. Abolish Department of Education
2. Cut spending by 1 Trillion
3. Cut spending by 2 Trillion (unlikely but hope so)

More would be good, but this is what was promised or highly suggested. Strongly enough to hope for. More than this I don't hope.

With such a landslide, and hopefully 220+ house majority, there should be no excuse stopping this.
