In the specific policy/vote, is he supporting more or less government?

He is supporting more govt, because China continues to grow an economic base as we watch ours erode, due to our growing service industry base. You cant fight China with employees that work as baristas, holding a college degree

And AI will eliminate those jobs

Eventually we will be a socialist nation depending on govt handouts, because there is no longer a manufacturing base. That hasnt worked out for the EU

Its past time that Congressional leaders be held to the same standard as the President, since some are actually in line to be the President

Only those born on American soil to American citizens should be eligible to run

It would stop this nonsense of Shri Thanedar, Omar, Mazie Hirono, Tammy Duckworth, Salud Carbajal, Juan Ciscomani, Adriano Espaillat, Dan Crenshaw, Pramila Jayapal, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Ted Lieu, Eugene Vindman, etc pretending to represnt US interests

McConnell did a pretty good job blocking Supreme Court nominees..that was unprecedented.

3 od Pres Tylers nominees, Reuben H. Walworth, Edward King, and John Canfield Spencer disagree

Much better than JBE or Jindal or Blanco

Psst, libertarians hate tariffs. Always have and always will.

---

Except when a libertarian joins with DIMs to undermine a Republicans efforts to get a fairer deal on tariffs, right?

I mean thats what libertarians would never do, would they? Join with DIMs to undermine tariff strategies?

You might as well join the DIM party, if you want to continue paying Chinese tariffs, while restricting US tariffs. And make sure to remind your libertarian firends that its the importer that pays the tariffs. So if Nvidia wants to sell chips in China they have to pay to do so, THEN hike their prices back home to make up the cost. You do know that happens, right? If their product doesnt sell after adding tariffs, they still have to find someone to pay the added costs of those tariffs. They arent eating that unexpected cost

A libertarian shouldnt support that, right?

I see you are struggling today. Point to me in the definition where tariffs are defined as a consumer tax?

quote:

---

A tariff is a duty imposed by a national government, customs territory, or supranational union on imports of goods and is paid by the importer.

---

Word for word what I typed out

quote:

---

If you cannot discern between Rand Paul and democrats, you’ve lost the plot, and joined a cult.

---

Morons like you pushed Massie, both Pauls, Romney, McCain, Ryan, the Bushes, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins and they somehow always seem to vote with the DIMs on critical issues

Maybe its you thats lost the plot. Invest in a lighted mirror, perhaps

quote:

---

Tariffs are taxes,

---

Nope. The only reason the word tax is associated with tariffs, is because of who collects it; the government. The money is paid by an importer, and it goes directly into the Treasury. If the importer decides to raise his prices to cover the tariff, then the consumer can reject the product. At that point the "tax" has already been paid. So if the product doesnt sell, the importer goes under. Therefore, not a consumer tax, At All

Congress is the one with that power in the Constitution.

---

Then tell them to quit passing laws giving the exec branch permission to do that very thing. Also, the Constitution clearly says the exec negotiates with foreign countries. Not the Congress. Theres actually a law (Logan Act) that enforces that rule

quote:

---

The Logan Act criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.

---

quote:

---

The act was named for George Logan who tried to intervene in an undeclared war between the US and France over France seizing U.S. ships trading with Great Britain

---

The act was specifically put in because a man tried to interfere with the trading policy of the US govt

Sound familiar?

Rand Paul says he helped gather votes with Dems

Birds of a feather and what not

So you’re saying he was drafted ahead of him and All SEC?

yeah sounds like he’s better

The topic was about not being SEC caliber. Try to keep up.

Bech was drafted 3 spots from a first team All-SEC guy, which pretty much confirms Bech was SEC caliber
