This author and blogger has never been a fan of Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who, like his father, former Congressman Rand Paul of Texas, is a libertarian.
But suddenly, and amazingly, one has to say that Rand Paul is totally correct on two pending matters!
Paul has come out to condemn use of the military in the deportation of immigrants, as going against the Constitution, as it is the job of civilian law enforcement to deal with such an issue!
Paul also denounced the pending imposing of 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and 10 percent tariffs on China, that has been announced by Donald Trump.
Correctly, Paul says it undermines our relations under the USMCA trade agreements with Canada and Mexico, and promotes increased tensions with China, and will cause massive inflation of prices of food, gas, housing, and other parts of the economy.
The people who voted for Trump out of stupidity and ignorance on the issue of inflation will now face, as we all will, a major jump in the inflationary spiral.
This will, hopefully, at least, disillusion those voters and transform them back to support of Democrats in the future, but only after causing mass suffering among the middle class and the poor, while the wealthy gain massive tax cuts, that will add trillions to the national debt!
