re: How many deep state sleepers like Rand Paul are there

Libertarianism is great.
On paper.
In reality, like with Socialism, it just doesn't work.
Why don't you tell that to Milei.
Problem is the brand of libertarianism people like Massie, Paul and Milei subscribe to has never really been tried....until Milei.

re: Rand Paul says he helped gather votes with Dems to stop Trump tariffs

Trump was trying to compromise with the GOP to get money to build the wall.
By offering a pathway to citizenship for illegals. Period. It is still amnesty.
Are you old enough to remember what happened to Reagan in the mid 80's. Reagan granted amnesty in mid 80s in return for spending cuts. The amnesty happened, the spending cuts didn't.

Trump supports pathways for those who entered illegally also. At least he did in 2018.

Rand Paul has co-sponsored more of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's bills than any other senator's.
Besides the tariff bill, tell us what other Rand Paul co-sponsored bill you disagree with.

I’m not a fan of farm subsidies but if we’re going to do it anyway why not for transitioning to selling their goods domestically and adjusting production to match domestic demand.
I thought you guys were wanting to fix the trade "imbalance"?
What we do well is ag, energy and tech.
You are now calling for taking away the ag. I don't get it.

There is more to this story, and I'm quite certain this is about the pocket book of Rand Paul.
Nope. The story is Rand Paul doesn't believe in tariffs.

Also, how much in subsidies do agricultural businesses depend on?
Trump's first round of tariffs in 2018-2019 saw AG subsidies quadruple. $11 billion to $44 billion.
re: Ahem . . . . China just silently rolled back 125% tariffs to zero. Good thing Trump caved

Last week Trump exempted things like semiconductors and smart phones from the 125% tariffs
Add to the list auto parts coming from China.

We are talking about exemptions. Who blinked first, Trump or Xi?

Great so when can we expect Trump to follow suit by dropping his tariffs?
Trump has already bent the knee on smartphones and auto parts fwiw.

Automotive manufacturers have been moving into the SEC states for 20 years. This has been ongoing. It isn't new.

The Fed raised rates 500%-1000% between Trump's election and Apr'19.
A FED funds rate of 2.5% is still seen as "accomodative". You do realize that don't you?

What is the main difference here?
You need to learn what "accomodative", "neutral" and "restrictive" means in regards to FED policy.

Any big beautiful spending cuts in there?
Privacy•Adver
Not a lot.
Just read that in order to get the bill passed in the House, the Senate Republicans agreed to cut $1.5 trillion in spending over 10 years.
That is $150 billion per year for those of you in Rio Linda.

re: How confident are you that Trump and his team know what they are doing with tariffs?
Posted by frogtown on 4/9/25 at 6:52 am
I was at 5% confidence. Now having seen how they have switched to a "trade imbalance" tariff, I am at 0%.

Musk shared a clip of Milton Friedman. He is not directly going to say he is "pissed".
