I have thought about this alot, being as monopoly capitalists do support libertarian financial policy. SO-called Libertarians at the CATO Institute have argued for private prisons and decriminalizing insider trading, both of which are terrible ideas in my opinion. I sometimes wonder if a truly free republican society is just as utopian as a truly fair socialist society. The establishment will always seek a 2nd set of rules for themselves, but at least we have a roadmap based on our Constitution

I have been thinking this for awhile. The underlying fundamentals of the economy are so bad that if the correction we desperately need takes place as a result liberty candidates getting into office and making the proper long-term policy decisions this whole thing could backfire in our faces ... it's definitely a sticky situation.

@slewofdamascus Don't underestimate them either. You can't maintain power in any country without having some kind of intelligence....
JESUS! Why would you scare me with that picture of Empress Palpatine in the beginning, Ridley? That's a cruel, cruel thing to do to someone.

How was Reagan anything close "sound money type guy" by any objective standards?
He nearly tripled the debt, raised taxes at least seven times on the middle and working classes so that the rich elite could get a tax cut on their dividend payments, all in the name of supply side economics.
Trickle down supply side voodoo economics is an unmitigated failure.
How many trillions were wasted on "star wars"?
Are you better off now than you were before Ronald Raygun?

reagan, and to some extent carter, had what folks used to call a "rush of brains to the head." which was personified by Fed Chairman Volcker... they stopped inflating the money supply so fast and the monetary crisis was delayed until now.
Sure Reagan was bad but by Federal standards, you could do worse.

Reagan fired Volker (after Volker's 2nd term) and hired Alan Greenspan- who as the leading economic policy maker of this country for 20 years is probably more responsible for the economic crisis than any other person.
Reagan's economic policies and instincts were crazy. How can you do worse than crazy?

Though bad, you can do worse than Reagan's record of 60 percent fed growth over 8 years. It's happening right now.
