Immigration Panel: Trevor Kraus of Students For Liberty and Dr. Alex Tokarev of Northwood University Learn Liberty 2024-10-08 | Why do some libertarians support government restrictions on immigration?

Inflation is a tax on savings Learn Liberty 2024-10-07 | Professor Antony Davies explains the many miss-understandings about Government Debt. Myth 1 is that the government owes “only” $20 trillion. (In reality, it’s much more.) But luckily, Myth 10 is that there’s no way to fix this problem… ️🔥 For more content like this watch Prof. Antony Davies' Answers to the Most Googled Economics Questions: youtu.be/NVv_StQXHSI ️🔥🎙️ Professor Davies also co-hosts a PODCAST! Find him and James R. Harrigan in the Words & Numbers podcast: wordsandnumbers.libsyn.com 🎙️Myth number one, the government owes $20 trillion. How much is $20 trillion? Suppose you go to Germany, and in Germany, you go to every town. In every town, you visit every store. In every store, you look at every shelf and grab everything that is for sale. The amount of money you spend will not be $20 trillion. If you go to Germany and then to France and you go to every town, and within every town, you go to every store. In every store, you look on every shelf and you buy everything. You still will not have spent $20 trillion. You can go to England and while you’re there, you can go to the North Countries and buy everything that’s for sale, and you still will not have spent $20 trillion. In fact, to spend $20 trillion, you have to go to every country in Europe, visit every town, in every town, go to every store. In every store, look on every shelf and buy everything. And then you will have spent about $20 trillion.But the myth is that this is how much money the government owes. It turns out that there’s more, called unfunded obligations. Unfunded obligations is money the Federal Government has promised but which it does not and will not have the money to pay. Largely, this consists of promises of retirement and medical benefits. If you would take the present value of all the future promises of retirement and medical benefits the government has made and subtract from that the amount of money that’s in the government’s Social Security and Medicare trust funds, and then subtract from that the amount of money the Federal Government anticipates collecting under the current law from future Social Security and Medicare taxes, you will still have an amount of money left over that the government does not have.SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/2dUx6wgLEARN MORE: How Big is the U.S. Debt?

Debunking the TAX THE RICH lie Learn Liberty 2024-09-10 | When politicians raise taxes on the rich, what do the rich do to protect their $$$? This Prof. shows how high taxes actually made America less equal. We always hear that the rich should pay taxes more, that our tax rates aren’t high enough. If only we raise taxes we can solve a lot of our problems — inequality would go down and maybe we’d even have more economic growth. Now the funny thing about this view is it really doesn’t comport with our historical experience at all.LEARN MORE: The Myth of Equality in the 1950s (video): Another myth of the 1950s is that there was economic equality.

Debunking the Price Gouging MYTH Learn Liberty 2024-08-16 | Price gouging encourages competition by pressuring manufacturers and distributors to increase production, which over time, would actually drive down costs. Price controls during a time of crisis, however, do nothing to address the shortage problem.TRANSCRIPT:Is asking $1300 for the generator morally wrong? Of course, you’d rather buy it from me for $800, but there are three reasons why my charging a higher price isn’t obviously wrong. First, remember, you don’t have to buy it from me for $1300. If that’s more than you think the generator is worth, you’re free to walk on by. If you do decide to pay, it’s because you believe you’re getting more value out of the generator than you do for the $1300 you gave up for it. Scond, ask yourself what would happen if I did charge only $800 for the generator. Remember you aren’t the only person who needs electric power in this situation. If the price was lower, would the generator still have been there when you tried to buy it? Or would someone else have snatched it up before you ever had a chance? This leads directly to the third point, which is that high prices do more than just line sellers’ pockets. They also affect how buyers and sellers behave. For buyers, high prices reduce demand and encourage conservation. They lead buyers to ask themselves whether they really need that generator, or whether they can do without. And by doing so, they allow at least some of those resources to be conserved for other people who might need them more, and therefore are willing to pay more. And for sellers, high prices encourage people to bring more goods to where they’re needed. If generators can be bought in an area not affected by a hurricane for $800, and resold later for $1300, that creates a profit incentive for people to bring generators from where they’re less needed to where they’re more needed to get them to where they’ll do more good for people who need them most. All of this leads to a surprising conclusion. Even someone who can’t afford to pay $1300 for a generator benefits from a system in which sellers are allowed to charge that price. That’s because the profit motive that that system creates encourages competition, which increases supply, and ultimately, drives down prices to a more affordable level for everyone. Now it’s true that when price gouging is legal, some people won’t be able to afford the higher prices that result. But ask yourself, what alternative institutions would do better? When price gouging is prohibited, goods usually go to whoever shows up first. If you care about distributed justice, is that really a better system? I think there are good reasons to doubt that price gouging is immoral. But suppose you’re not convinced. Suppose you think price gouging is exploitative and wrong. Should it be illegal? The answer, even if we assume price gouging is immoral, is almost certainly that it should not be illegal. If price gouging is wrong, it’s because it hurts people in vulnerable situations. But then, the last thing you want to do is hurt those vulnerable people even more. Remember, the only reason price gouging occurs is because a disaster causes demand for certain goods to go up and supply to go down, with the result that there isn’t enough stuff to go around. Anti-gouging laws don’t do anything to address this underlying shortage. In fact, they make it worse by destroying incentives for conservation and increasing supply. So even if you think that price gouging is morally wrong, and that merchants should refuse to engage in it, making it illegal doesn’t make sense. It hurts the very people who need our help most.

Find him and James R. Harrigan in the Words & Numbers podcast: wordsandnumbers.libsyn.com 🎙️Myth number one, the government owes $20 trillion. How much is $20 trillion? Suppose you go to Germany, and in Germany, you go to every town. In every town, you visit every store. In every store, you look at every shelf and grab everything that is for sale. The amount of money you spend will not be $20 trillion. If you go to Germany and then to France and you go to every town, and within every town, you go to every store. In every store, you look on every shelf and you buy everything. You still will not have spent $20 trillion. You can go to England and while you’re there, you can go to the North Countries and buy everything that’s for sale, and you still will not have spent $20 trillion. In fact, to spend $20 trillion, you have to go to every country in Europe, visit every town, in every town, go to every store. In every store, look on every shelf and buy everything. And then you will have spent about $20 trillion.But the myth is that this is how much money the government owes. It turns out that there’s more, called unfunded obligations. Unfunded obligations is money the Federal Government has promised but which it does not and will not have the money to pay. Largely, this consists of promises of retirement and medical benefits. If you would take the present value of all the future promises of retirement and medical benefits the government has made and subtract from that the amount of money that’s in the government’s Social Security and Medicare trust funds, and then subtract from that the amount of money the Federal Government anticipates collecting under the current law from future Social Security and Medicare taxes, you will still have an amount of money left over that the government does not have.SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/2dUx6wgLEARN MORE: How Big is the U.S. Debt?

💸 How Modern Monetary Theory Threatens the Dollar Learn Liberty 2024-06-24 | The United States government is, yet again, facing a budget crisis.️🔥 Watch Prof. Davies' Latest Video: 7 MYTHS ABOUT THE GREAT DEPRESSION - youtu.be/q4ZMMH6LxXc ️🔥 🎙️ Professor Davies also co-hosts a PODCAST! Find him and James R. Harrigan in the Words & Numbers podcast: wordsandnumbers.libsyn.com 🎙️Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is an economic school of thought based on John Maynard Keynes's writings which has provided theoretical legitimacy to policymaking based on deficit spending. The theory goes that because modern states control currency and have the power to levy taxes, they can print as much money as they want. In this video, we enlist Professor Antony Davies to explain why real-world economics aren't so simple - and why, under this theory supported by politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Bernie Sanders, we would end up with more hand grenades and fewer avocadoes.(See more from Professor Davies: youtube.com/watch?v=EPjrFjAxwlw) Of course, MMTers, led by Professor Stephanie Kelton, a senior economic advisor to the Sanders presidential campaigns, make impassioned arguments, too. So what do you think? Watch our analysis, do some research of your own, and tell us in the comments: Is Modern Monetary Theory valid, or would it lead to financial ruin? #ModernMonetaryTheory #MMT #budgetcrisis #debtceiling #inflation LEARN LIBERTY:Your resource for exploring the ideas of a free society.

The Hidden Truth Behind the US Healthcare System Learn Liberty 2024-06-21 | How did healthcare in the U.S. get so messy, convoluted, and inefficient? Why is it so hard to know what a simple visit to the doctor - let alone a surgery - will cost?We spoke with Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies at the Cato Institute. He enlightened us on the 'original sin' of healthcare policy, plus several other massively harmful government interventions that have set everyone back (like Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare). It's all led to one surefire result: that patients rarely get the treatment they deserve. Instead of the basic, buyer-seller market dynamic of capitalism that provides customers so many options at grocery stores, government intervention has created something closer to socialism: an ever-growing web of conflicting incentives among doctors, insurers, and politicians. As Cannon summarized, "Government intervention is creating so many problems in healthcare that the government has to intervene more and more and more, to try to solve the problems that it created."This video also touches on some smaller, but still damaging, government interventions in healthcare: COBRA in 1986 and the Clintons' failed Health Security Act. And our story editor, Trevor Kraus, makes a cameo appearance to ask: Which group of people got screwed the most when the government tied health insurance to employment?DEEP DIVE: If you want to go even more in-depth on the topic of healthcare, check out our blog "Five Myths About Healthcare".learnliberty.org/blog/five-myths-about-healthcare#Healthcare #GovernmentIntervention #Medicare #Medicaid #ObamacareLEARN LIBERTY:Your resource for exploring the ideas of a free society.

The History and Controversy of the Second Amendment in America Learn Liberty 2024-06-21 | The 2nd Amendment is so hotly debated in part because of the order of its two clauses: The prefatory clause: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State” and the operative clause: “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”In this video, Learn Liberty aruges that its wording should have been reversed — and elucidates 8 facts about the 2nd Amendment that you might not have realized.Join Students For Liberty’s Local Coordinator Program: join.studentsforliberty.orgAnd for more on guns in America, see these posts on the Learn Liberty Blog:How Gun Control Might Be Seen in the Future: learnliberty.org/blog/how-gun-control-might-be-seen-in-the-futureWhy Do You Need a Gun?: learnliberty.org/blog/why-do-you-need-a-gunCHAPTERS:0:00 A Poorly Worded Amendment?1:32 Fact #1: The roots of the 2nd Amendment can be traced to the English Bill of Rights of 1689.3:37 Fact #2: The 2nd Amendment ALSO has roots in STATE constitutions.5:59 Fact #3: The 2nd Amendment went through several drafts.8:06 Fact #4: The 2nd Amendment has a “prefatory,” or “preface” clause, and an “operative” clause.10:46 Fact #5: History has not looked kindly upon previous attempts to regulate guns.12:33 Fact #6: The two major political parties used to be flipped on the interpretation and implementation of the 2nd Amendment.14:40 Fact #7: There was another attack on the 2nd Amendment in 1994.16:28 Fact #8: American police are increasingly militarized. 17:46 Last Thoughts#2ndAmendment #FoundingFathers #gunrightsLEARN LIBERTY:Your resource for exploring the ideas of a free society.

TERM LIMITS: Shaking Up Politicians & Restoring Democracy Learn Liberty 2024-05-15 | Elected office was never supposed to be your full career The founding fathers when they were writing the Constitution weren't thinking these officeholders are going to be here for 50 60 years and that's going to be their entire life They were supposed to be integrated into their communities hold a job be with their families serve their community and then return to their community And that's not where we are right now So often when people enter office they come in for good reasons And when they get into office they work on it It takes a while to adjust to the political world And then after some amount of time they can try to make that change But the thing is if you let people be in office much longer than that they're not there to make a changeLEARN LIBERTY:Your resource for exploring the ideas of a free society.

Politicians Are Out of Touch: Heres how we fix that Learn Liberty 2024-05-15 | In this video, we delve into the troubling history of political office in New York, highlighting recent scandals and the broader issue of politicians losing touch with their constituents. The video features an in-depth discussion on the necessity of implementing term limits for statewide offices, advocating for a system where elected officials are more integrated into their communities rather than making a lifelong career out of politics.The discussion includes alarming statistics from recent polls showing that a majority of New Yorkers believe the state is headed in the wrong direction, with many considering leaving due to the dysfunctional political climate. The video argues for term limits as a means to end the perpetual campaign cycle, allowing politicians to focus on complex and crucial issues rather than mere electoral survival.Key points covered include the benefits of term limits, such as fostering new voices and perspectives in politics, reducing incumbency advantages, and enhancing the democratic process through structural reforms like ranked choice voting and open primaries. The call to action emphasizes the overwhelming bipartisan support for term limits across the United States and encourages viewers to advocate for these changes to their legislators.Join us as we explore how term limits could transform politics in New York and beyond, making government more responsive and representative of the people it serves.
