This weeks article at The Nassau Institute by Professor Richard Ebeling speaks to the hypocrisy of both the neoliberals (Democrats) and conservatives (Republicans) in the US.

He points out in the summary that;

"Left out of this “debate,” alas, is that other alternative that could, in fact, make America free and prosperous: classical liberalism and free market capitalism. Something Progressives, conservatives and Trump neither understand nor really care about."

This comment just nails the hypocrisy:

"…Progressives and “liberals” in these states seem to have rediscovered “state’s rights” and “federalism” in such areas as immigration and drug use liberalization. (One even hears some of them almost paraphrasing John C. Calhoun’s arguments for state nullification of Federal law, without, of course, ever speaking his forbidden name.) But, no doubt, their reawakened appreciation for constitutional “checks and balances” will be found to be only Trump-deep, because when one of their own once more occupies the White House the push for the centralizing interventionist-welfare state will be back in fashion with their long followed disregard for individual liberty and constitutional division of powers."
