If three gubernatorial candidates have three different answers then this suggests that the problems is too big and too complex for a governor to solve. The only solution is to deregulate energy, to let the market explore and discover solutions.
"Free markets are on the ropes now" says economist Don Boudreaux.
I thought President Trump, a businessman, would support free enterprise.
Sometimes he does.
But sadly, sometime he does socialist things:
The old parties are either too slow and bureaucratic or too captured by special interests to accept the reality that the most expensive sectors of life are always the most heavily regulated.
Free markets work for the people. Regulations work for the state.
Connecticut:
You have too many public K-12 schools for the population.
You have too many public colleges for the population.
You have too many NGO’s with zero results.
You have too many government employees.
You have too many funded civic groups with zero results.
Cut,Cut!
Special privileges and free stuff distributed by the state is why people learn such resentment and animosity for politics, which has dangerous implications for the stability of social interaction.
Only the Libertarian Party believes that nobody is privileged, that equal treatment under the law ought to prevail for all people in all cases.
I heard on the latest @PeterSchiff podcast that in 1997 the entire federal budget was $1.7 trillion dollars. If you annualized just May’s 2026 outlay on interest on the debt it equates to the same number. We need to slash and phase out all unconstitutional spending.
Social Security has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. It is Social Security's overly generous benefits that are actually driving the program into insolvency. https://t.co/wV36Sd9hep
A modern economy is so complex it would be impossible for a group of "experts" to design an efficient plan. This deep problem is solved in practice by decentralizing the decisions into smaller groups, each governed by the profit & loss test, for which you need market prices.

If you backed @RepThomasMassie because he challenged war, defended liberty, respected constitutional limits, and refused to bow to political strongmen, you are not politically homeless.
You are just closer to libertarianism than the Republican Party ever wanted you to realize.
There is little that's more anti-American than loyalty to a person over the constitution and liberty.
Samuel Adams called it in 1748:
"It is a very great Mistake to imagine that the Object of Loyalty is the Authority and Interest of one individual Man, however dignified by the Applause or enriched by the Success of Popular Actions."
The result has been pretty terrible too.
"This has led Millions into such a degree of Dependance and Submission that they have at length found themselves oblig’d to homage the Instruments of their Ruin, at the very Time they were at Work to effect it."
