The economy is rigged against working people and in favor of billionaires; every worker pays HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars transferred to billionaires. Read this article, and I promise you’ll never look at the government the same way again. libertarianinstitute.org/art…

I'm going. You should too.

The period from 1870 to 1913 witnessed the most spectacular economic growth in human history, and you can thank the gold standard for making it possible. Real wages doubled in America. Railroad mileage exploded from 53,000 to 254,000 miles. Steel production increased twenty-fold. Population centers transformed into industrial powerhouses virtually overnight. Sound money created the foundation for genuine capital accumulation. Under gold, entrepreneurs could calculate decades into the future without worrying about central bankers debasing their savings. Andrew Carnegie built his steel empire because he knew the purchasing power of his profits wouldn't evaporate through monetary manipulation. John D. Rockefeller revolutionized oil refining because stable money allowed long-term planning. These men risked enormous sums precisely because gold prevented government from stealing their wealth through inflation. The productivity gains were staggering. Between 1880 and 1900, manufacturing output per worker increased by 65 percent. Prices fell consistently (deflation was normal and healthy), which meant your purchasing power grew every year you delayed consumption. Real interest rates reflected actual time preference and productivity, not central bank targets. Capital flowed to its most productive uses because price signals weren't distorted by monetary debasement. Compare this to our fiat era: since 1971, productivity growth has stagnated, real wages have barely budged, and asset bubbles have replaced genuine wealth creation. The Federal Reserve calls 2% annual theft "price stability" while wondering why inequality keeps rising. They've replaced the automatic discipline of gold with the arbitrary whims of PhD economists who think they can fine-tune a $26 trillion economy. You want to understand why your generation can't afford houses while previous generations built transcontinental railroads? We abandoned the monetary system that funded the greatest economic boom in recorded history.

Social Security is a rip-off for everyone. libertarianinstitute.org/art…

So, because you support giving out billions in foreign aid and tanking the economy, we all should be? Go fund those countries yourself. America first. America only.

If you undercount inflation, families look a lot richer. If you use the CPI (which itself may be an undercount), progress since 1970 has virtually halted, only a 10% increase since 1970s.

In response to my challenge to identify a major progressive program the GOP abolished since 1913, I have refuted many nominees. What’s on the table is USAID and Reconstruction Finance Corp. USAID was eliminated but some functions were transferred, an old trick, and some of the savings were offset by aid to Israel. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation was created by a Republican, Hoover, who nevertheless as my teacher Rothbard noted, was himself a progressive. Some of its functions were transferred to the SBA, though overall spending was much lower. So that’s it apparently. Two programs not in my view eligible for the Progressive Hall of Fame in my view were mostly eliminated. At the same time, the GOP created several new ones.

Everyone says the litmus test of a libertarian is that he or she believes he's the only true libertarian. But drawing a circle on libertarianism and leaving Massie on the outside and accusing him (laughably) of being afflicted with TDS is a new one. This is why LPNH will shrink.

Lol.

To provide some context that many may not be aware of, ULMA (LPMA) has not been a part of the ballot access conversation. This money is proposed to go directly to a candidate with no support or endorsement from the state affiliate. We're working to resolve this.

The former New Hampshire Libertarian Party got it's fondest wish: It is disaffiliated. If you as a state party campaign for the abolition of the national party, you are seeking disaffiliation. They just got it good and hard. Good riddance.

Trump in 2024: Biden will raise taxes & gas prices, start unnecessary wars, increase inflation, spending, deficit/debt, lower GDP growth. Trump in 2026: Raises tariffs & gas prices, starts unnecessary wars, increases inflation, spending, deficit/debt, lowers GDP growth.

My brother in Christ. In 1980 the home price to income ratio was 3.6x, now it’s 5x In 1980 a degree cost 15% of the average annual income, today it’s 58% In 1980 child care cost 7% of the median household income, now it’s 19% In 1980 health care cost 10% the median household income, now it’s 21% In 1980 the average car payment for a new car was 6% of the median household income, now it’s 13% These are national averages, and not some anecdotal personal experience. Idk why it’s so hard for people to do a little good faith research and just admit that life’s necessities are exponentially more expensive now than when they were young adults. It’s a crazy level of pride, arrogance and denial.

Today is the day! 👏 DO 👏 THE 👏 WORK 👏

Most Moral Double Tap Murderers In The World:

X right now: Boomers/Gen X: Millennials and Gen Z waste their money on eating out too much today. Gen Zers in their 20s: I shouldn't take my girlfriend out to eat on a date? Boomers/Gen X: When I was your age my parents would only let us go out to McDonald's as a special treat.

We have the most homes per capita in the United States in US history. There was never a "housing shortage" There was a propaganda scheme to inflate home prices for people who already own.

There’s just one party missing from the phone call: Iran.

We Gen Xers ate out more often in our youth than Gen Z does today.

Our chairman Sean Kennedy @1776Chair with @justinamash at the @LPNational Convention. Justin delivered a great speech on focusing party efforts on candidates and winning by inviting more Americans into the fold.
