Episode 186 Why the New Deal Administrative State Must Be Abolished Not Reformed

Summary:Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy promise to vastly reduce government inefficiency in the administrative state. But the problem isn’t just that there are too many bureaucrats doing a poor job. It’s that the entire idea of regulation as performed by those agencies is antithetical to America’s most basic principles.People have a right to buy and sell food and drugs the government doesn’t deem safe, pay and earn wages the government thinks are too low, and do virtually everything else the administrative state sets out to prohibit.And regulation has always been a tool of the largest corporations to eliminate lower cost competitors.Links:Progressivism Has Always Been Authoritarian, Anti-Democratic, and ReactionaryWhere Do Conservatives and Liberals Come From?: And What Ever Happened to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?
