They want to limit the government’s ability to keep the oligarchs in check. That’s the only form of “limited government” they have ever supported. Even during the Reagan era, their main goal was supporting the interest of the rapidly globalizing megacorps, and they disguised it as fiscal responsibility. Megacorps don’t actually care how much the government spends as long as they get most of the windfall from that expenditure.

It’s easy to see that there are more types of political power than official government institutions. Power is mostly about who has all the money these days.

Think about this. Wall Street fucking LOVES inflation. Just look at stock prices when the Fed says anything remotely close to a passing thought of lowering rates. They love low interest rates and the ballooning of the monetary supply. Why? Because low interest rates mostly benefit the rich. They have all the access to ultra-cheap credit. They use all that credit buy up all the cheap assets, and they sell those assets to the plebs and make tons of money. Then they use that money to make sure each administration does the exact same playbook over and over, regardless of party lines.
