Liberal economic policy. As self-described by the owners of the publication you cite. As I said, your transition is almost complete.

Biggest tax on the American public in decades
Does not compute...
US consumers are spending more in nominal terms compared to last year, with retail sales and personal consumption up 4–5% year-over-year (y/y) through October 2025. This reflects resilience amid low unemployment and wage growth outpacing inflation.
Again, you are living in rules that do not apply in this economy.

Well. I knew you were posting from a liberal-owned website. You didn’t know that.
you have said nothing of substance and have only posted liberal citations and made logical fallacies the basis of your “arguments.” You just aren’t very smart.

Milton was pro open borders.
False. Show me where he openly advocated for "open borders". Never happened. All he said was you cannot have open borders combined with a welfare state.

Thats embarrassing for you.
Quick couple of questions...
1) What is Mercantilism?
2) When did it thrive?
3) What has changed economically between Mercantilism and the current era?
Thanks

This is not true
It is not axiomatic. We were running small trade deficits in the 90s and also had a budget surplus. But that sort of proves my point. In 2000 the trade deficit exploded, going from roughly 2% of GDP to 4%. And what was the consequence? Tax cuts and elevated spending - which wiped out the fiscal surplus.
If a country is experiencing huge growth of domestic savings then it can fund increased budget deficits, but assuming domestic saving is basically flat (which it usually is) then you will need foreign investment to fund the fiscal deficits. The only way to get foreign capital inflows in such a situation is to run a trade deficit.
And going the other way - like in 2000 If you see a big uptick in the trade deficit then you are seeing a corresponding loss of domestic demand. Some level is sustainable (perhaps the 2% of GDP mark) but at some point above that the impact will be too much and require government "stimulus", i.e. deficit spending through increases in expenditures, tax cuts, or both.

You will not read this anyway. Rush Limbaugh echoed this same sentiment.
Sort of like how Milton changed his out look based on realities. You can believe something to be true because on paper, it looks great. But when you add reality, things change.
Milton was a liberal and changed his views as his understanding of reality happened. He was open border too. But in reality, he came to understand that he could not have that part of "free trade" due to the welfare state.
"free trade" as it was sold was great on paper. The results were horrible for this nation. The bad out weighed the good. All it takes is to actually stop the indoctrination and study it.
