Project 2025. The goal is to remove all tariffs and other limitations against the US.

Canada for instance has laws on antibiotics for dairy, foreign ownership for banks and telcos, various things like that. India has tariffs on everything.

The document outlines crazy things like capital punishment and a border wall, its clearly Trumps handbook. It’s all in there.

Kind of makes it seem like Russia and the US are working together to advance colonialization.

I’ve heard someone speculate he will remove tariffs if other country buy 100 year US bonds. This seems kind of plausible.

The US according to Powell can’t maintain this level of debt. Interest rates are high because nobody wants to buy US bonds, and you’ve got talk of BRICS ending trading oil in USD altogether. Its not like its just borrowed and the US has no repercussions, this is all future austerity.

Money supply definitely gets looser and looser as peoples salaries are debased.

What’s a better system then Keynes, monetarism or MMT?

Canada is actually a green economy now, they don’t build pipelines east or west because demand for energy is over as soon as people start biking to work.

He wants to extend tax cuts on the other hand, and Canada would cut rates to nothing so its exports would get cheaper as CAD falls, which is deflationary for the US.

Cool I’ve never seen this.

Powell said the spending is unsustainable. No government other than Trump has so far reduced spending, even Reagan never cut spending he just spent Americas pension system replacing it with IOU’s.

So given this is there room to ponder whether its extenuating circumstances?

The incentives in a corporation are misaligned with the decision makers. They want promotions and more employees under them to justify their own raises, so we get this cosplay of efficient work as natural monopolies keep us all employed.
