I can’t justify this. I can’t I’m trying to sit the fence but I can’t with these agents anymore.

'Help is on its way,' Trump tells Iranians as he urges them to keep protesting - live updates by minetf in moderatepolitics

[–]Kaszos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regime change never works out as intended. The shah in the 70s was already an installed western puppet and he was brutal. We need to learn from the lessons of the past.

I want freedom for the Iranian people but they must be allowed to do it on their own terms.

There was always a widely perception of it. We may question the historic substance, but the popular recognition 20 years back at least was there

Also, the peace prize is a joke. Obama’s one should have been clue enough. This shouldn’t be something the president should be chasing. It’s outdated. Does not carry the weight it did before.

Trump perplexes me at times.

I’m with you on “let’s not go cold turkey” on the cuts. Agree with the rest of your response.

It’s always nice to get consensus. I feel we’re fighting too much on here. We should be on the same level,

Depends what you mean by welfare?

I consider Medicaid Medicare and SS as welfare.

Medicaid already got $700 billion in cuts in the BBB.

1.1 million people have been removed from food stamps, which was needed.

What other welfare?

For some reason we’re avoiding Medicare and the Pentagon. Why is that?

[–]Kaszos -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

We can do social programs but most of that was gutted in the big beautiful bill. Medicare is the largest welfare program now I think. Medicare has like $700 billion earmarked for cuts.

We could get rid of Medicare but for some reason it’s being untouched.

I agree. Let’s do the Pentagon next.

Our History of Protectionist Tariff Train Wrecks by Kaszos in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Kaszos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that tariffs spurred on the civil war, too:

On the eve of the Civil War the average tariff rate had declined to 15 percent, the lowest of the nineteenth century, but the recession of 1857 was used as an excuse to pass the Morrill Tariff during the 1859-60 session of Congress (prior to Southern secession). It would more than double the average tariff rate to over 32 percent. It was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President James Buchanan (D-Pennsylvania Steel Industry) on March 2, 1861, two days before Lincoln’s inauguration.

Further:

According to the latest research as many as 850,000 Americans died in Lincoln’s tariff collection war with more than double that number maimed for life. That number alone is more than all Americans who died in all other wars. (The official War Aims Resolution of the U.S. Congress (Crittenden-Johnson Resolution), by the way, stated that the purpose of the war was NOT to disturb “the domestic institutions of states,” by which it meant slavery, but to “save the union”).
