2024 MA Senate race: on Government Reform

John Deaton: Regulation of crypto another example of government overreach

John Deaton has emerged as a key figure in challenging the U.S. regulatory approach to cryptocurrencies, particularly through his involvement in the SEC v. Ripple case. Deaton has compared the SEC's actions against Ripple and XRP to other instances where he believes regulatory bodies have exceeded their authority. By drawing parallels with cases like West Virginia v. EPA, Deaton has positioned the Ripple case within a broader narrative of regulatory overreach.

John Deaton: Strong supporter of term limits

I'm a strong supporter of term limits and will work hard to see them implemented. I also pledge now that I will self-impose a limit of two terms in the Senate.

Congress is dominated by career politicians, like Elizabeth Warren, who become conflicted by special interests and fierce loyalty to only a party or political agenda. Simply put, if you can't effectuate change within twelve years of being in Washington, then someone else should get a chance.

John Deaton: Bottom line: government is the problem most of the time

Deaton: She believes the government is the solution to all problems in society. I'm surprised she didn't say we are going to fund it by taxing the wealthy because every single thing she says, climate change, housing, education, every issue is tax the wealthy. And she didn't say that and I'm curious. The bottom line is the government is the problem most of the time. Builders are taking two years just to get welding permits. We have to cut the red tape.

Warren: Housing prices are out of control. We have been sitting here for 40 years talking about how housing prices are going up and up and it has truly reached crisis proportions. It is time for the federal government to partner up and that's why I have mayors saying I want to be part of that. The Warren plan is a plan to build more housing and bring down costs. Mr. Deaton is one to say let the private market fix it like it has fixed at the last 30 years.
