It's called DEFENSE, so it should be used for that purpose, not world police or growing heroin

"communist" nah

but some industries in the US should be supported

There's good regulation and bad regulation in my opinion.

I would say more than just keeping out of foreign countries

Stop sending money to the UN and other european countries

Good regulations include keeping corps from putting xenoestrogens in the consumption chain, bad regulations include the requirements to be an accredited investors and unnecessary licensing for small business

i think tarriffs and import quotas on foreign vehicles is fine in some cases

the us auto industrys health is good for the country

we need to protect that sector

I think as for the defense, definitely send the UN to some other globalist country like Canada, and NATO is irrelevant after the cold war.

rent control is a socialist practice

and only increases rent prices

price floors for US agriculture is commie practice too

but thats good for national security

As for protectionism, I support it to make keeping business in the US more cost-effective for business

also we're like the largest exporter of food

well the most cost effective solution would be to outsource labor in third world countries

I'm a bit interested in neo-merchantilism for our trade model.

lower wages is the most cost effective method

Not if we raise tariffs

mercantilism is socialist policy

that means government controls trade

fully to balance the trade budget

which we are not balanced at the moment since we import more than we export

thats juist more government control though

I think we've got to pick and choose what we do

well under that model we surrender more fiscal and monetary policies to the government

which i am against

i am against printing more money to solve trade balance

increasing money supply is no good

however allowing the government to invest in domestic businesses is a good fiscal policy

I do want to have a solution to the trade deficit

To make it more cost-effective to have business in the US and exporting and the such

see yeah it would be nice to have a positive trade balance. we do need to improve certain sectors in the united states

but with countries like china and now india making cheap ass products it becomes too easy to import from them

modern day slavery is good for almost everyone

I'm a nationalist and populist more than I'm a pure capitalist

yeah id side with more laissez faire policies

but do understand some regulations are required

but yeah i would also call myself a nationalism
