The Irony Everyone's Missing in the Hamilton-Pence Controversy

From the moment he became the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton argued for a strong central government that subsidized domestic corporations to build roads and infrastructure, levied high protectionist tariffs, and ran a central bank. This was the Federalist platform for the party's entire existence. Once the Federalist Party died, Henry Clay and the Whigs adopted it. From the ashes of the Whigs emerged Lincoln and the Republicans, who were finally able to install Clay's "American System" after decades of electoral failure.

The Republican Party has remained startlingly consistent in its economic principles, despite incorporating free market rhetoric in the 20th century. Republicans from Lincoln to McKinley to Coolidge to George W. Bush have been protectionists. Hoover reacted to the Depression by signing the Smoot-Hawley tariff, for all the same reasons Trump threatens tariffs now. And what was the first thing Republicans did in the 1950s, after two decades electoral exile? A huge government roads project that had Hamilton smiling in his grave.

Trump promises more of the same, justifying his stance against international nation-building by saying, "I just think we have to rebuild our country." And despite a white paper arguing for a partially-privatized road system, Trump's plan will require $167 billion in government funds and has all the hallmarks of the infrastructure boondoggles that lost election after election for the Federalists and Whigs in the 19th century.

Protecting the national interest, building infrastructure and getting people into employment and out of poverty terrifies the Democrats and their Marxist agenda. They will spit like cats if a government tries to improve the lot of the poor and the working class because the democrats want a permenant voter base of poor angry people. It's not an accident that every state and electorate that consistently votes in democrats is firmly kept in poverty by their own government. Just as in Australia Labor and the Greens want a massive welfare class and hate the idea of high employment and national prosperity.
