Moore Money with Steve Moore | 01-10-26

In this episode of The More Money Show, economist Steve Moore presents a robust defense of free-market principles and an optimistic forecast for the 2026 American economy. Central to his argument is the belief that deregulation, tax cuts, and energy independence under the Trump administration have catalyzed a "remarkable metamorphosis" from previous fiscal stagnation. Moore and his guest, Arthur Laffer, emphasize that supply-side policies—such as the "Big Beautiful Bill"—are essential for driving the growth needed to address a looming $40 trillion national debt. The program further explores the intersection of geopolitics and prosperity, framing the recent military intervention in Venezuela as a liberation of 30 million people from a "communist drug lord." Moore argues that replacing socialist instability with free enterprise will not only stabilize the region but also lower domestic pressures like the migrant and drug crises. By contrasting the economic success of "red states" with the "warmth of collectivism" in failing cities, he positions individualism and competition as the only viable solutions for contemporary challenges. Finally, the broadcast advocates for a radical overhaul of the American healthcare system by calling for the abolition of Obamacare. Moore contends that the current model primarily enriches insurance companies and hospital conglomerates while inflating costs for families. He proposes a shift toward price transparency, catastrophic coverage plans, and health savings accounts to restore the doctor-patient relationship. Learn more about your ad choices.
