I feel like time and Trump have worn that message down along with my own. If the standard is to subsidize and do protectionism that way and stack up sovereign debt, the answer would be to slowly utilize tariffs to do the opposite, which is totally government participation in a market. My understanding is that by doing it slowly, Trump is deflating a globalist economic bubble rather than popping it, though debt/GDP remains the same. The "slow" part being important because you can't discount the rest of economics outright. I just think that understanding the way things work makes them not work like that, and it has become obvious in this case based on... hindsight. Not to say there aren't many other potential bubbles or that the one I'm thinking of is really gone.
The government can't control a market. It wouldn't be a market. There is going to be a market whether the government has any part of it or not. You should want a market. You should want to participate in it. You shouldn't want the government to participate in it. It's the mysterious force that once you understand it and get your infinite money, it principally stops working like that. It's as fair as it gets for us mortals.
Eventually, everything becomes a market, especially ripping off the government. Any money coming out of the government becomes an entitlement for someone by default. It may as well spin around a black hole because that entitlement can never be undone without killing people. That's the working definition of progress. You can't go back. It's a one way street and we know the destination. People have lived it and many are dead. Wealth redistribution is still totally a thing. UBI is a terrible way to do it.
Same thing as UBI. Say hello to price-fixing, inflation and collapse in that order.
