The reality of socialism’s “free” things? Higher taxes, out-of-control debt, and fewer opportunities for everyone.
With the national debt above $40 trillion and inflation still at 3.7%, we cannot afford to add trillions more to the pile. If anything, we should be making across-the-board cuts and balancing the budget, which is exactly what my Six Penny Plan does.
Washington doesn't have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem.
Over the last decade:
Tax revenue: +65%
Government spending: +92%
The two parties fight over where the money should go, but they agree on one thing: spending beyond their means.
Pavarotti’s final public appearance—the man was already suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer.
Look at his eyes...
Absolutely spectacular, just incredible.
The global debt crisis has never been worse.
Japan now has a gross government Debt-to-GDP ratio of 204.4%, the highest among any major world economy.
Italy follows at 138.4%, while the United States stands at 125.8%, which is only below the ~132.0% record set during the 2020 pandemic.
At the same time, France’s gross government Debt-to-GDP ratio is 118.4%, while Canada’s, China’s, and the UK’s are 110.7%, 106.9%, and 103.6%, respectively.
By comparison, Germany is the only major economy below 100.0%, at 64.6%.
The current average among advanced economies is 108.2%.
The world economy is drowning in debt.
The US affordability crisis is worsening:
Food prices have surged +34.5% since December 2019, now at their highest level on record.
Rent and grocery prices have risen +33.3% and +30.0%, respectively.
Furthermore, motor vehicle maintenance and repair prices have soared +55.2%
This is coming for us too if we don’t balance the federal budget!
