Why bring up socialism? I bring it up because in the US 21st century, the Democrat party is socialist.

Who referenced the Roman Empire?


You did. I was speaking of the USA from it's founding to now. I stated the FDR started "free Trade" in the USA.

You forgot the question of the tariffs by the Roman Empire. I mean.. Free Trade and tariffs were a thing.... at the same time in that period.

The USA is a Republic. Never in our history has the gov not set up rules and regulations. It's part of the US Constitution. Has always been.

The question is how much should we the people allow. There is a role for Gov in trade and commerce.
Which is why I cited Teddy Roosevelt as a good example of conservatism because he protected the free market when he shut down the monopolies

there is a time for Govt intervention,, Seldom,, limited and then it gets out of the way

Yes. I'm certain that CA and most here believe that Google and others have a monopoly. And most would support a break up.

Why was that placed in the constitution? The problem with the bushy and McCainites types are they have been convinced that Gov has no role, that left alone big business will be upstanding and moral in all things.

The founding fathers knew that side of the coin too. Look at big business right now and how they are pushing a massive change in the social norms. How they are buying politicians.

So it's either the Federal Gov over reach into the lives of people or big business over reach into our lives (mandated DEI training.... re-education, shutting you out of banking if you disagree..etc). OR a limited Gov.

Justifying government intervention to help your political supporters is so very Leftist.
Sure, but completely irrelevant to the discussion.

Now address the proposition at hand here.

Can you justify government intervention to curb effects of international adversaries?

Well the incestuous relationship between big business and government is at levels unimagined in previous times

because it no longer is limited in any way to the federal government or the state government all the way down to local governments,, even utility dist,,ISDs .. It's what people now learn in college if they're taking political science is how to make money off of it

And yes even at the local government and revolutionary times there was a relationship between the town businessman and the government but now it's a Chinese govt posing as a business not a local tavern keeper

Notice how these existential meltdowns from the Conventional Wisdom crowd have increased in frequency since the debate? They are SHOOK.

Limited government means limited regulation of companies (even big ones).

What is "that"?

Cite me the constitutional authority you're referencing/using to defend your position

Can I? Sure

Which again has zero to do with the topic at hand?

Let's make this simple. If our adversaries act against our national interests, should we respond?

Naw. Plenty of people live meek lives in a free society

Hell, you get to choose your effort/output/goals and even change them over time.

You can be a grinder/leader one day and a pleb/employee the next.

You know what system does not allow this? Socialism

That is certainly your opinion. Let's test it. Can tax cuts decrease the deficit?

I don’t really participate in D vs R discussions. They are essentially the same to me and neither party is worth a single thought from me (or you).
