I figured it was about that.
Unemployment is a national disgrace and the biggest problem behind the gov’t budget woes.
And worse, nobody is even talking about it or suggesting solutions.
I would; I think they both have the same solution: completely destroy entire government agencies (and their regulations) -- ATF, DEA, FDA, USDA, DOE, other DOE, EPA, etc. Heck, it's be easier to list the agencies to keep: USPS, DOT, Navy/Marines, Army, IRS (though they could be severely trimmed down if we were to go to a flat-rate personal income tax with no exceptions/exemptions/credits).
That might be their end goal, but that's not the solution for our economy. You can completely eliminate all taxes and regulations and we still can't compete with Communist China's wages of $2/day. And China charges it's firms 90% tax on earnings.
It's the wage differential. Our economy won't recover until we all earn about what Chinese do. Or until we protect our own market. A tarriff can suck out the profits from the overseas firms and give our firms a fighting chance.
