spending

It’s a Big world. We Little Guys are just (barely) living in it – for now. Our nation’s Big Governments – are HUGE.

By magically “forgiving” potentially billions of dollars in loan debt, Biden ignores the fact that these loans won’t disappear. The cost of the loans will be socialized to more people, e.g., many poor and working-class taxpayers, essentially more new government spending. Joe’s plan is bald-faced political pandering.

The government and Fed are over a barrel. The federal debt is now over $30 trillion. But the Fed’s only way to address runaway inflation? Raising interest rates.

Can we guess who will get the lion’s share of all of this DC money? DC’s biggest cronies, of course.

Banks are shouldering a cost burden towards regulatory compliance that could be used to fund Biden’s spending plans.

Biden’s money printing spree enabled by the Federal Reserve will have drastic long-term consequences.

Unprecedented federal spending on education is a swindle of epic proportions.

The Congressional Budget Office has recently issued a federal “Budget Outlook Update”

Today bigger, supremely powerful global governments are justified by environmental claims.

Cutting taxes — as opposed to restraining the growth in future tax increases or swapping a reduction in property taxes for an increase in the state sales tax — appears to be a nearly insurmountable obstacle.

Mediocrity has become normalized and institutionalized.

If only I had a dime for every time I have heard the claim America needs to spend more money on education.
