What is the "abundance agenda" and how does it relate to supply-side liberalism?

***I use the term “Card-carrying Liberal” to denote self-described Liberals who are active in expressly Liberal spaces, fighting for expressly Liberal goals, rather than as a catch-all term for “Democrat”

In a nutshell the idea is that for too long, American governments (state/local/federal) have enacted regulations that have, inadvertently or not, driven up the prices of key goods and services by strangling supply and subsidizing demand. Abundance Liberals are against this combination. Namely, they want to stop strangling supply and allow for the markets — aided by the state where effective**** — to build mass amounts (abundance) of the goods and services we want and need, driving down prices.

****Abundance Liberals are not Libertarians, they are willing to make use of government support in the economy

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

Abundance Agenda and “Supply-Side Liberalism/Progressivism” are the same thing, but the former sounds way cooler.

cheap loans and grants that are given to buy said scarce housing (subsidizing demand)

It’s a still nascent system created and advocated for by “Card-carrying Liberals”*** in America.

MAGAs are becoming unhinged and violent about Musk being called the United States President. If MAGAs think Trump is the Commander in Chief, why aren’t MAGAs blaming Trump for what DOGE is doing to Americans?

The Abundant answer to this crisis is to create “abundant” housing, of all types, where it is most needed, thereby alleviating the Housing Crisis, which to Abundant Liberals is a crisis of artificial scarcity due to government policy.

Housing Crisis (homes too expensive)

Is it possible to revive a dead person in real life with black magic?

I consider myself a Liberal of this school.

Abundant Liberals reject the idea that capitalism itself is to blame for the Housing Crisis, or most other economic crises we are seeing today, instead arguing that bad policy is the root cause.

Another liberal meme

Abundant Liberals want to create mass abundance in all spheres. Energy, education, housing, food, transit, etc etc etc. They tend to be deeply urbanist and aim to have “tall cities” if you’re familiar with the term in strategy games. Lots of apartments, lots of transit and walkability, and so on.

This pretty much shows abundant goals
