There’s only one job where you can get away with causing a massive crisis, denying you caused it, pretending to fix it but not really, and then trying to shift blame to anyone else but yourself.
That job is being a Democrat president.
Yesterday I took an earlier flight to D.C. to participate in a special hearing at the Heritage Foundation on inflation and skyrocketing energy prices… Read more »
Here’s a high-level explanation of what just happened today concerning interest rates. I know this is a major concern for many people.
Inflation is out of control right now. There are many factors behind rising prices, but a big one has been excessive government stimulus. We’re talking trillions of unnecessary dollars that have been poured into our economy.
Sidenote: everyone in this… Read more »
New day, new record. Do I think President Biden is solely responsible for this? No, his policies are a major ingredient, but not the whole recipe. There are other global factors in play as well.

Friends, our nation is heading for financial ruin. I’m so tired of being asked to vote “yes” on new spending bills with no offsets. I’m tired of bloated, wasteful government. I’m tired of agency heads who claim they can't do… Read more »

Inflation got even worse last month. Prices have now risen 8.5% over the last year, which is the highest rate of inflation in over four decades. This is according to government data released this morning.

$5,200 this year, or $433 per month. That’s how much MORE the average family will spend just to maintain the same standard of living as last year, according to new research from Bloomberg Economics.
If your paycheck hasn’t kept pace with this inflation – and chances are it hasn’t – then guess what? You’re either saving less, dealing with a lower standard of living, and/or going into… Read more »
