This is Vance’s interview on July 11 with Daily Wire:
JD Vance Takes on Milton Friedman
In Vance’s interview last week with The Daily Wire, he sounded much more like a Mitt Romney, big-government RINO than a Trump or Ronald Reagan.
Decide for yourself. Here are some of Vance’s misguided views on economics and the future of the GOP:
“Milton Friedman’s ideas made more sense in the 1980s because they were being advocated in a country that still had a very rich and powerful institutional Christianity.”
“If you look at modern Britain and the result of Margaret Thatcher’s policies, you would say that her policies actually got Britain further away from that ideal and not closer to that ideal.”
“I think that meritocracy can steal from us a sense of what really, really matters.”
“When Donald Trump ran for president the first time, the idea of tariffs on imported goods was a heresy in the GOP. It is now the baseline position that virtually every Republican politician adopts.”
“If you turn economic development (i.e., prosperity) into a sort of idol, then you end up sacrificing a lot of the things that matter most.”
“American economic policy on the right is now much more Alexander Hamilton than it is Milton Friedman. I think that’s obviously a good thing.”
This is anti-free-market, big government gobbledygook. Here’s just one “laissez-faire economic truism” that JD should learn: Individuals can always spend their own money better than the government.

With the midterms coming up and conservative leaning media going hard on pushing Vance, just reinforces he is the Republican version of Obama, a cardboard cut out made to fit preconceived ideas of the ideal conservative candidate. Vance is an empty suit and very vacuous. Plus VPs have made terrible Presidents, the first Bush and FJB for example. Vance is big government’s preferred candidate. Right now attention should be on midterms, we will hear enough about 2028 starting in Jan. 2027.
“If you turn economic development (i.e., prosperity) into a sort of idol, then you end up sacrificing a lot of the things that matter most.”
This is indisputably true, you cannot serve both God and money.
If Vance actually believes this, then he has my vote.
Well, you do know that Hamilton was a protectionist, right? Much like President Trump, he believed that the U.S. government should protect our industries and farmers, rather than sacrifice them on the altar of ‘laissez-faire’.
“In Vance’s interview last week with The Daily Wire, he sounded much more like a Mitt Romney, big-government RINO than a Trump or Ronald Reagan.”
A big government RINO. Almost as if he’s logged some miles riding around in Peter Thiel’s Plantir pocket? There will come a day when he’s no longer hidden by Trump’s shadow. When he finally steps alone into the sunlight, what will he look like?
Me too.
I like JD👍🏻
Wow, he called out Israel for running a propaganda operation against himself.
He also said Mossad and Israel are behind the Epstein blackmail operation.
We need Israel and Islam out of U.S. politics. Both drag us down and weaken America with ancient conflicts and forever wars.
