Love the idea of putting defense justified expenses on the Pentagon budget. That cuts through all the rhetoric and rent seeking.

I would add that this sanctions business cannot work out. The more you hurt your adversary with sanctions the more you hurt yourself. This is another Laffer curve!

I want to underline that this is a brilliant economist who thinks it’s a good idea to,have uneducated goons and thugs wander around d the federal government’s and terrorize civil servants. He also thinks that any program he disagrees with is an example of fraud and waste and rot. Now he’s part of an effort by the Hoover Institute to find a oh so sophistication rationale for a US focus on bullying its neighbors.
