Political Realities 10-6-24

50% if US voters are uninformed. US voters don’t know US History and don’t understand the US Economy. 

Democrats use vague slogans to win elections. Emotional Voters identify with these vague slogans like Obama’s “Hope and Change”. Voters internalize these slogans to believe that what they hope for and want changed is what Obama would do. Kamala Harris is using the same stunt with “Joy and Freedom”.

The Law of Supply and Demand controls prices in the US Free Market Economy.

Increases in Supply will result in Lower Prices. Allowing more drilling of Oil and Natural Gas will lower Prices.

Decreases in Supply will result in Higher Prices. Problems with the US Supply Chain will increase Prices.

The proliferation of US Federal Laws has made it impossible for citizens to know what laws are active and what laws are inactive. 

There is no precise count of the number of federal laws in the United States, but some estimates include: 

300,000: This is the most commonly cited number for the total number of federal laws, including many that cover government agency regulations. 

4,500: This is an estimate for the number of federal crimes in the United States Code. 

49,746: This is the number of laws in a database that spans from 1789 to 2022.

The difficulty in counting federal laws is due to the fact that they have been enacted over hundreds of years, resulting in a complex collection of documents published in different formats. There is no single official list of all federal laws, and scholars have relied on selective lists or complete lists of more recent enactments. 

The US Code is a codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States, and is divided into 51 titles by broad subject. The number of sections in the US Code that create crimes has increased steadily, growing by about 36% since 1994. 

30% of House Members, and 51% of Senators, have law degrees and have practiced law. 100% of Judges are Lawyers. The complexity created by keeping all these laws on the books results in judicial mistakes, confusion, delays and increased costs.

The Rule of Law is being abandoned in the US and needs to be restored. Criminals should be jailed and prosecuted. 

The US Trade Deficit has risen from $59.631B in August 2023 to $78.79B in July 2024.
