Trump announces Emergency Actions 1st Day to Drastically Reduce the Cost of Living

Things Trump has said: approximately 1 zillion
Things Trump said he would do, and then actually did: a handful

I divide thinkers into two broad types: head thinkers and heart thinkers. By "heart thinkers", I don't mean emotional/feminine, I just mean they go more by "gut hunch". Trump is almost 100% a heart thinker, not a head thinker. When he wants to build a building, he hires somebody to oversee the project. If he wants to reduce cost-of-living or cut government (or, preferably, do one by the other), he appoints somebody to his cabinet to oversee it. Could it turn into yet another gov't forever-department? Yes, there is some risk of that. But it doesn't have to. And maybe it won't be an actual cabinet position (which would require Congressional approval), maybe it will just be a special advisor with direct reporting (cabinet-level) and delegated POTUS authority.

You people gotta cut it out with the non-stop litmus testing... get some perspective...

So, you don’t really even understand how all this shit works, yet you still feel competent to ridicule people, like myself, who actually do?

Priceless.

Jeez, wow, you got me good on that one LOL. That really hit hard. I mean, I'd never put forward a rhetorical question, to try to make a point. Inconceivable!

I do love the constant ad-hominem attacks from you though. We agree on like 99% of stuff, except for tariffs, but of course, any disagreement on tariffs of all things, prohibits any attempts at mutual respect, obviously. If you keep this up, I might even have to de-friend you from my RPF profile! And then we can really get at it!

Dave and Tom provided some food for thought and their own perspectives. It is still very important to litmus test, look at each policy and how it is put together, to determine if those policies are actually good, bad or indifferent.

There is information that has been published by very reputable sources which shows the breakdown and "bad" of these policies, but they are ignored/overlooked in hopes of some magic bullet.

You brought up "risk". Do you actually understand the risk? Is that risk acceptable? You stated that "it doesn't have to", but until/unless the people are fully informed and understand the breakdown of the policies, they are simply supporting policies blindly and on faith. Which doesn't have to be.

Yeah, I saw that.

I'm sure he would not hang up on Musk if he called asking for input though.

Certainly he would not hang up on them. Ron is all about outreach and stated in one of his episodes that he is non-partisan and will speak with anybody.

The question remains, after noosing everybody into voting for them, will they actually call Ron on the phone and/or visit with him and ask for his advice?

I remember Mitt saying Ron is the Constitutional expert, yet he did everything in his power to prevent Ron from winning.

I do not know.

I certainly hope so.
 
Waste is built into most government programs by design. I can very easily see how a new cabinet tasked with eliminating waste and burden on the taxpayers can be a good thing.

Comparing this to creating a new branch of military is asinine.
 
Libertarians have got to disagree.
My guess if a Libertarian Utopia existed, some would be skeptical and complain that it is not good.

Probably at this point in time, there is little that Ron Paul can offer in regards to input or advice. Everything he has to say has been said for many years. Nothing is groundbreaking never heard of or thought of before. What it takes is putting that ideology into practice.

If my city had somebody that could cut costs by eliminating wasteful spending and finding less expensive methods to accomplish the task, I would be in favor of that.

It is simple mathematics. If you have a person or group of people assigned to do something and allocate money for them to do it, the money they save must be greater than the money wasted. Would anyone think that if Ron Paul was asked to be a consultant on Ron's terms that he should travel to Washington and have to personally pay for the expenses associated with advising? If Ron consulted, should he be compensated for his time, effort, advice?

It doesn't' matter, nothing is ever good enough. We are down to a handful of members that even login and we drastically find fault.

I suppose there are those out there that think Trump is saying these things and making these promises to attract the Libertarian vote. I find that funny. There is no Libertarian vote. The only thing you can count on from Libertarians is infighting.

Vivek, Musk, RFK Jr., Borders, Ukraine, Healthcare, Men out of women's sports, Wasteful spending, Addressing taxation.

If Jesus Christ was running for POTUS, people would not find him pure enough.

I wonder if anyone has noticed that Trump seems to be putting the US on the fast track to go back under the British monarch, yet.
