This is 82-year-old pilot Ken Jouppi. Alaska seized his $95,000 plane—and he's spent *13 years* trying to get it back. Why? Because a passenger once brought a 6-pack of beer on his flight. Now he has one last hope. A thread.

An important reminder from @WilliamHartung, "[Eisenhower] believed that spending on defense should be linked to a realistic strategy and balanced against other pressing national needs, including the need for fiscal responsibility." forbes.com/sites/williamh…

MLG's (and the Legislature's) "Clean Fuel Standard" will definitely increase gas prices for average New Mexicans, but as a recent @ABQJournal story points out some environmentalists believe it could actually increase pollution: errorsofenchantment.com/environmental-… @1housestrauss

A reminder that whatever you think of tariffs from a policy perspective, spending money that was already being raised anyway is double-counting, and you’re really just borrowing more to spend more.

Simply looking at customs duties revenues overstates tariff collections by quite a bit. Tariffs mechanically reduce factor income (labor compensation + profits), which is the base of the income and payroll tax. As a result each $1 of tariff revenue raises, on net, ~$0.75.

🧵Some comments on U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer's recent error-filled speech on reindustrialization. It is so bad, it is almost like his speechwriters were attempting to sabotage him. Let's go!

The Pentagon’s unfunded priority lists (UPLs) ballooned by 73% over last year to >$53,000,000,000. With the national security request already up 12 percent, this is getting out of hand. Congress should end the requirement for these unbudgeted wish lists taxpayer.net/national-secur…

One reason it’s dumb to focus on trade deficits: The average American makes $40,000 a year. The average Libyan makes $6,000 a year. Under no set of circumstances will Libyans buy as much from Americans as Americans buy from Libyans. (Another reason: Trade deficits are fake.)

Mitigation is an often forgotten cost of the RFS and other ag subsidies. Radical idea: instead of soaking Toledo families for the subsidies and then again for the harm from those subsidies, we could just not do the bad thing to begin with.

When Republicans want to score budgets on a "current policy baseline," it means starting with budget deficits that double to $3.6 trillion over the decade. And a debt held by the public that more than doubles from $29 trillion to $60 trillion over the decade. 🧵

Sen. Grassley’s reconciliation amendment is a positive step towards stopping the corporate farm handouts and helping smaller producers compete in agriculture. Republicans who call themselves advocates of small govt should all be in support!

“Obscene” is a good word here, and one of many that come to mind. “Just following orders”—with all the historical baggage it carries—applies with full force here. Participating in and/or supporting something this palpably immoral will leave an indelible stain on people’s souls.
