I would also suggest reading The Way back, by Frank Buckley.

Buckley is on the editorial board of American Spectator and is an adviser to the Trump campaign.

Is it about the wayback machine?

Here's the Economist Whose Ideas Guide Trump

[Vigilanteman]

There is a lot I like about Peter Navarro, particularly his understanding that trade with an equal partner and ally like Japan cannot be treated the same as trade with an adversary like China.

The fact that he is a generalist makes him all the more attractive for a high cabinet post because he seems to see the big picture.

Thank you for referencing that article oblomov. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots evidently have their work cut out for them with respecting to the blind leading the blind economic advisors that Trump is giving an ear to.

The first sign of fire concerning Dr. Navarro is that he has a Ph.D. in economics from good old anti-constitutional republic Harvard. So although the federal budget is only one aspect of the economy, I will bet that Dr. Navarro has never seen the following material concerning the federal budget as the Founding States had probably intended for that budget to be understood.

From a related thread …

$765,645,000,000: FY2016 Taxes Set Record Through December; $5,107 Per Worker; Feds Still Run…

Four times the amount shown in thread title is over three trillion dollars. And this is a major constitutional problem, imo, as indicated by the following material, previously mentioned in related threads.

Note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. This is evidenced by the excerpt below.

”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

In fact, based on the Court’s statement above, here is a rough approximation of how much taxpayers should be paying Congress annually to perform its Section 8-limited power duties.

Given that the plurality of clauses in Section 8 deal with defense, and given that the Department of Defense budget for 2015 was $500+ billion, I will generously round up the $500+ billion figure to $1 trillion (but probably much less) as the annual price tag of the federal government to the taxpayers, not the $5 trillion now benig projected for that budget.

In other words, the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx Noise, should not be reporting multi-trillion dollar annual federal budgets without mentioning the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congresss limited power to appropriate taxes in budget discussions.

Trump supporters need to get him up to speed on the idea that a good percentage of the federal taxes that he and his rich friends have been paying throughout their lives are probably unconstitutional.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to suppoort the Trump / Pence ticket by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional interference in state affairs.

Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

The Coming China Wars" is mostly a series of emotional diatribes against the Chinese government, opening with charges of cheating and slave labor and never much considering the positive side of Chinese economic growth.

Clearly a condescending statement only a globalist bought and paid for hack would make.

[central_va]

Trump needs to keep these status quo globalist economic hacks away. They are the enemy.

No. Buckley suggests that current direction of social and political change is toward the development of a hereditary aristocracy in the US such as what existed prior to the American Revolution. The characteristic of this is not merely income inequality, but class immobility. He argues this can be ameliorated or reversed with specific programs that achieve “socialist ends through capitalist means”.
