#^Who is the lesser evil? | Dave Smith, David Stockman, and Jacob Grier | Just Asking Questions

Is this the most important election ever? And who should win? Just asking questions.

Next week, America decides: elect the 78-year-old criminally indicted, twice-impeached ex-president who's pledged to impose a universal tariff of 20 percent and embark on the largest mass deportation in American history; or his opponent, the vice president, swapped in for a malfunctioning Joe Biden, whose first major policy proposal was to cap grocery store prices to fight inflation, and who has trouble explaining how she'd govern any differently than her increasingly unpopular predecessor. It's a close race.

Independents, including libertarians, will likely decide it.

So we've invited three of them on today with three different perspectives to explain their votes. The first is David Stockman. He's the former director of the Office of Budget Management under Ronald Reagan. He served as a U.S. representative, and he says whoever wins we're basically screwed because neither candidate is addressing the most important policy issues facing America today.

Then we'll talk to Dave Smith, a repeat guest on the show, host of the popular Part of the Problem podcast. He says he's reluctantly and probably voting for Trump because of the threat that Kamala Harris—and the political machine that she represents—poses to liberty in America.

And lastly, we'll talk with Jacob Grier, a writer and Reason contributor who says that from a libertarian and small government perspective, the choice is obvious. Donald Trump is an authoritarian threat and Kamala Harris is a far superior choice.

Let's just ask each of them some questions.

#^The misuse of data behind 'greedflation' | Wrong Number

Politicians and activists claim that corporate profits are causing inflation, but the real story is that inflation is creating mostly fictitious accounting profits and tax headaches for corporations. Overall, corporate profits remain pretty stable as a share of domestic income.

#^The Crisis Industry: How Activists Profit from Panic

Pollution, homophobia, racism, hate; activists claim everything is getting worse.

The opposite is true. But if they admit that how would they raise money?

“For activists, success is a threat,” journalist John Tierney explains. “It is going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”

It goes even deeper than this. After World War II, political parties across the world, including the Democrats and Republicans, saw how effective Hitler and other dictators were at manipulating the people. A lot of the tactics that Hitler used are now being used against us for the same reasons: to manipulate us and to consolidate power. The only difference is that they are smart enough not to start a war they cannot win and they are playing the long game.

I'm not so sure about that. They keep poking the bear. I guess "they" might win, but a lot of us little people would lose in the process.
