The Anti-Supply Side Foundation Of Trump-O-Nomics, Part 2

The Trumpian attack on immigrants is about as anti-supply side and pro-statist as it comes. But a lot of MAGA hat followers are so confused by the utterly misleading “immigrant invasion” narrative and all the crime horror stories that are attached to it that they cannot see that it is mainly rooted in tribal politics and the inappropriate weaponization of the legal justice and immigration control machinery of the state.

To be blunt, in foraging for defining issues to mobilize the electorate Washington Republicans have pretty much given up on the GOP’s true calling in American governance, which is to be the Opposition Party in the contest for power with the Government Party controlled by the Dems. In turn, that boils down to functioning as the Watch Dog of the Treasury in the unending battle against spending, borrowing, money printing and socialist redistribution of societal resources and wealth, whether through fiscal, regulatory or tax policy channels.
