Why do tax cuts have to be "funded"? Why not just cut government? 🤷 #Truss
All Liz Truss & Kwasi Kwarteng did was try to reduce the tax burden on their citizenry & let people keep more of what they earn.

The "problem" is this would've created economic growth, and the central banks and pension funds have already placed their bets in the other direction.
Our governments have created such a monetary problem over the last few decades, with endless QE and the recent trillions & trillions, that the think the only way out of this is… tanking the economy.

Think about it: what an absolutely insane predicament these fools have created.
These cries of "unfunded!" in response to the #Truss tax cuts are complete BS. These squealing jerks are the exact people who put us in this situation, and they've never cared a lick about "funding" their reckless spending. Ever.

And they've hoodwinked the world.
When #Truss announced stimulative tax relief the pension markets got caught with their pants down. They had made crazy bets (with other people's money) on such a scale that they had become #TooBigToFail.

So they threw a public tantrum, and the leftist/keynsian media joined in.
Put another way Truss and Kwarteng did exactly what they promised to do: help people and businesses by letting them keep more of their hard-earned money.

The billionaires simply could not allow that to happen. And so here we are.

Global elites FTW 😉

Alternate take: if they add the covid shots to the childhood vaccine schedule today… it will be the end of the childhood vaccine schedule.
🧵
Look: I understand the logic behind the 1986 schedule indemnification: they couldn't get companies to make vaccines after the 1976 swine flu blowback, so they created a small subset of supposedly 'bare minimum' injections, and declared "these are protected from lawsuits".
Never mind that it seems unconstitutional to deprive the citizenry of due process and recourse with these schedule shots, the OBVIOUS consequence of this is the drug companies trying to land more medicines on that magical list: it's utterly predictable.

It's really icky how they frame this 👇 They claim that tax cuts = inflation instead of focusing on the fact that pension markets were over-leveraged, played with fire & got burnt; once again a 'too big to fail' scenario that these Keynesian finance fools allowed to happen.
I remember when Planet Money hit the scene. I listened to probably the first 300 episodes, and learned a lot. But like other NPR productions they started wrapping
*political opinions* in the patina of fact. It's still a podcast worth listening to…but not really trustworthy.
The new UK government wanted to spur economic growth by letting people keep more of what they earn. Normally you would offset the deficit of tax receipts with spending cuts, but they did not: in an era of infinite deficits, why pretend to care about such things?

So the good people of Chile just rejected the sh!t out of a new “muy progressive” constitution via national referendum. An eye-popping 62% voted against this silliness, and thank goodness. This 👇 is a big deal.
Back 2020 Chileans voted to nix their constitution and write a new one after nationwide protests over a 4-cent hike in subway fares ravaged the country and left 30 dead.

So the leftist rioters got a chance to write their dream constitution… and this is what they came up with:
Their new Chilean constitution was essentially a Progressive Greatest Hits “a 170-page text that would make the Chilean state, which has long had a limited role in its citizens’ lives, the guarantor of more than 100 rights, more than any other national constitution in the world”

One of the few upsides of the last 2+ years here in NYC are the wonderful, principled, courageous people I've met. One of those is Helen Qiu @Helen4NY, a proud working mom & immigrant who is running to represent NYC's Chinatown AD65 in Albany, NY.
1/
From the jump @Helen4NY did what too few did: stand up, and speak out against the hysterical, harmful & anti-American covid restrictions here in NYC.

It makes sense, because Helen moved here in 1990 from China to pursue her American Dream of grad school & a bright future.
2/
I first met @Helen4NY early in covid we have become friends. She is one of the smartest, most passionate moms I've met in the last 2+ years & I've met a LOT of incredible moms.

Her love for NYC & America is astounding. And she reminds us all why it's worth fighting for.

"The scale of this federal censorship enterprise appears to be far beyond what anyone imagined, involving even senior White House officials…protecting Fauci and other high level officials by refusing to reveal documents related to their involvement."
michaelpsenger.substack.com/p/faucis-red-g…
"Federal officials are coordinating to censor private speech across all major social media platforms. Meta…has disclosed that at least 32 federal officials…YouTube disclosed eleven federal officials… Twitter disclosed nine federal officials…"
"Federal officials are granted privileged status… for censoring speech on their platforms, and…hold weekly meetings on what to censor. Social media companies have even set up secret, privileged channels to give…officials expedited means to censor content on their platforms."

“A much-anticipated Edinburgh Festival concert set to have featured Ode to Joy, the EU anthem, has been axed after a Scottish choir refused an American orchestra’s demands to wear face masks while singing.” #ToneDeaf #UglyAmericans
The Philly Orchestra is an embarrassment to the rest of us Americans. These elitist dingdongs traveled to another country, as guests, and showed their asses to the entire world. Zero respect for science. Zero respect for Edinburgh. Zero respect for art. Shame on them.
"While a spokesman for the orchestra said the decision to axe the concert “was not taken lightly”, adding that a choir wearing masks was “in the best interest of health and safety”.

These people are just morons. There's no other explanation for it.
