Capital controls are coming, America's political circus, and the proper role of government

  In this episode, Doug and I discuss coming exchange controls, the proper role of government, the historical annexation of Hawaii, and the effectiveness of political parties in the U.S. We take a look at Kamala Harris' economic plans, the implications of Trump's immigration policies, and the burdens of modern governmental regulations on the economy.  As usual, we emphasize the importance of individual action in a failing political system and caution against unrealistic reliance on political leaders.  00:00 Introduction: Government and Coercion 00:57 Political Circus and Economic Facts 01:07 Hawaii's Statehood: A Historical Mistake 05:48 Government Overreach and Economic Control 06:52 Revised Job Numbers and Economic Policies 08:15 Kamala Harris's Economic Plan 09:48 Critique of Government Policies 20:00 Trump's Immigration Stance 27:15 Future Concerns and Final Thoughts
