So far, in his second presidency, Donald Trump has made massive changes that have made a positive difference for Americans. The folks in North Carolina are finally (four months after Helene hit) getting the financial aid and physical assistance they need to rebuild. Armies of dump trucks, road work everywhere, and the sound of hammers hitting nails are widespread, bringing a new life to the devastated area.

He has upended many a federal agency, bringing in new leadership, forcing remote workers to return to the office, and changing policies. The confirmation hearings going on in Congress right now have one thing in common: none of the candidates are scoffing about "conspiracy theories" because most of those theories have turned out to be true. In fact, in the past, the nominees have faced the same kind of biased treatment from society that the rest of us regular conservatives and libertarians faced.

While I don't agree with every single thing the new President has implemented (and I never expected to), I feel mostly positive about the direction our nation is going now.

However, one thing that is going to cause us some pain is the new economic policies. Let's dive into it.

How will new economic policies affect us?

First of all, this book is excellent. It very clearly debunks economic myths, explains how our market has been artificially damaged, and discusses what it will take to fix it.

Between the tariffs and DOGE, things are changing dramatically. But this is one thing that will get worse before it gets better. We can all expect some financial pain over the next few months. However, this is not without precedent, so I know things will improve in a few months.
