And as we all know, "get woke, go broke". The US is going down and will take the world's economy with it. The wokels will get their precious communisms and cry tsunamic quantities of salty tears how it's not "real" communism, because it resembles Stalin's Russia.



I'm thinking of investing in a woodchipper myself.

Some people will become even richer and more powerful.


It's hard work that makes one richer.

Larry Kudlow said Biden's spending plans would hurt the current "booming economy." He criticized his ambitious plan to expand welfare programs without a work requirement, calling it "the largest expansion of the welfare state since President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society."



Nick Eberstadt, political economist at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, described Biden's plan as an "assault" on the welfare reform of the 1990s.

Rather than flinging infantile derisions, how about for once you engage in reasoned debate. You never know, you might like it. Then a squadron of pigs will do a low flypast of your hovel in celebration.

President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden continues to own a stake in a Chinese company, undermining a promise the president made on the campaign trail.



The younger Biden, who did a number of business deals while his father was vice president, including in China, owns a 10 percent stake in a Chinese firm called the Bohai Harvest RST Equity Investment Fund Management Co., according to business records available online.

Last week, the Biden White House released what it called the "American Families Plan," a $1.8 trillion spending package that includes a laundry list of woke leftist priorities, including major giveaways to the education establishment, which has become perhaps the most favored Democrat constituency.



Consider, for example, one of the plan's most controversial proposals, which calls for $200 billion for two years of free universal preschool. What does that mean? Instead of giving this money to parents to help them address the educational needs of their children as they see fit, this plan would push kids into our failing public school system two years earlier, effectively replacing in-home daycares and preschools and most benefiting the credentialed class that voted President Joe Biden into office.



If Democrats were serious about helping working families afford the costs of childcare and early education, they'd recognize that parents would prefer direct assistance to government programs. As University of Virginia Professor Brad Wilcox recently pointed out, "Poor and working-class families are more likely to prioritize the parental freedom of cash more than child care, whereas the educated and affluent are more likely to value child care... By contrast, the message sent by the push for universal child care is that, ultimately, work matters more than family — and that government knows best how to arrange work and family choices."



Here's the bottom line: Biden's "American Families' Plan" will incentivize further delays in family formation and lead to parents spending less time with their children. Parents don't need more child care so they can pick up more hours at work. Parents need better paying jobs and lower taxes so that they can provide for their families with one parent working 40 hours a week, instead of both parents combined working 80 hours a week.



Joe Biden's problem is that he fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of work. We don't work in order to make more profits for Apple shareholders or to pay more in taxes. The purpose of work, as understood by so many Americans, is to provide for oneself and one's family. We work hard so that our families can have a good life. Real support for families means policies that will lead to parents spending more time raising their children, getting married earlier, and having more children. Biden's plan would encourage the exact opposite.

Oil expert David Blackmon recently explained in Forbes the Biden administration's policies are a major factor in rising gasoline prices.



He explained:



President Biden's Day 1 executive orders to cancel the cross-border permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and suspend the program for oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters were just initial shots across the bow. His order to raise the estimate for the "social cost of carbon" by over 700% will inevitably result in regulatory actions that will raise the cost of producing oil in the U.S., as will the coming effort by the Biden EPA to convince the courts to allow it to regulate carbon as a "criteria pollutant," a topic I'll address in more detail in the coming days.



All of these actions and more to come will increase the costs of not just oil and gasoline, but all forms of non-renewable energy for consumers, will make the country increasingly reliant on foreign oil imports and thus will render the country less energy secure than before. These outcomes are entirely predictable and are in fact features of the Biden/Harris plan, which is in part designed to make EVs and renewables more competitive by raising the cost of fossil fuels and other more traditional forms of energy. That's not a value judgement: it's just reality.

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said Friday that President Joe Biden's multi-trillion dollar stimulus packages that pay workers to stay at home are the reason for so many unfilled jobs in America.



"Seven million jobs open and last month only 260 some thousand filled."



The U.S. economy produced just 266,000 jobs in April and is 8.2 million workers short of pre-lockdown levels, according to data released March 7 by the Department of Labor.



"Doesn't take a genius to figure this out. If you pay people not to work you shouldn't be surprised when you can't find workers," he continued.

With Policies Failing, Democrats Turn to Trump-Hate



With the latest job creation numbers 75 percent below forecast, and illegal entry into the U.S. across the southern border up 944 percent from April of last year, and the president having difficulty reconciling his support of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state with the vocal anti-Semitism of elements of his own congressional party, and inflation on gasoline, lumber, bread, and a number of other vital products running between 50 and 150 percent, the contemporary Democratic Party is reverting to the only arrow left in its quiver and the only song remaining in its song book: Trump-hate.



The administration's demiurgic effort to continue public panic over the Covid virus has failed. Texas, whose opposition to the complete shut-down President Biden denounced as "Neanderthal," and other anti-shut down states such as Florida and South Dakota, have so completely outperformed the principal Democratic compulsory lockdown states, as to make it very difficult to sustain public pandemic hysteria at its former stratospheric levels. Likewise, the progress of the vaccines for which no Democrat is physically capable of giving any credit to former President Trump, have made hysteria even more difficult to support.



It now appears that the Democratic senators and congressional representatives, having had the opportunity to consult with their own districts and states, are now substantially disabused of the temptation to try to enact much more of the Sanders socialist program that Biden signed on to, to maintain party unity.



It isn't working—it is in fact a disaster in every field: open borders, pouring borrowed money out of the treasury to the point that it disincentives people from working and inflames inflation in a way that has not been seen in the United States in more than 40 years. In these circumstances, with failing policies and rising controversy over unspeakable irritations such as the official promotion of racist versions of American history and current sociology even in the Armed Forces, it is logical that the Democrats return to the one card they've successfully played these last five years: the confected and orchestrated hatred of the former president.

Middle class voters were duped. And they will soon be stuck with the bill.



New York Times exposes Biden's plan to raise taxes on low- and middle-income Americans to pay for massive $6 trillion budget, breaking his repeated promises



President Joe Biden has repeatedly promised not to raise taxes on people making less than $400,000. It was a staple of his presidential campaign, and he continued to say it after being sworn in.



Most conservatives and honest observers didn't believe him at the time. They saw his agenda, understood the price tag would be huge, and figured higher taxes for everyone would be inevitable.



The New York Times revealed this week that skeptics were right to give his "no taxes" vow the side eye after it obtained Biden administration documents showing the president's actual tax-and-spend plans.



What is the administration planning?

Less than two months into his first term, the president's team already began changing the terms of Biden's promise. No longer would his promise to not raise taxes apply to individuals making less than $400,000 — instead, the threshold would apply to families, CNBC reported.



Now, as the White House prepares to officially present its new budget, it appears that Biden's promise is getting another revision.



The Times reported Thursday that the president's massive new budget, which he will unveil Friday, "would take the United States to its highest sustained levels of federal spending since World War II."



Biden's budget, which starts with a $6 trillion spending plan for this year, would increase total annual spending to $8.2 trillion by 2031.



A spending plan that large will naturally require higher taxes — a fact the Times acknowledged, saying that the plan includes raising taxes on corporations and high earners.



But everyone knows that won't be enough to cover all the new spending, particularly since the administration has said the "jobs and families plan would be fully offset by tax increases over the course of 15 years," the Times noted.



So, where will those extra tax dollars come from?



The Times exposed what the text of the documents it obtained: tax hikes for all income levels.



"The documents forecast that Mr. Biden and Congress will allow tax cuts for low- and middle-income Americans, signed into law by President Donald J. Trump in 2017, to expire as scheduled in 2025," the Times reported. "Mr. Biden has said he will not raise taxes on people earning less than $400,000 a year. It is possible that he could propose to extend the Trump tax cuts for those earners in a future budget, potentially coupled with additional tax increases on high earners or businesses."



But there are zero reports of any such proposal even being discussed by this White House.

"President Biden's budget blunder sets us up for an even worse economic recovery than the Obama-Biden record of the slowest in history," House Ways and Means ranking Republican Kevin Brady (Texas) said, according to the Times. "Lower- and middle-income families are already suffering under the stealth tax of higher prices. Now the president wants their income taxes to go up as well."
