Feb 25, 2020 ~ Stephen Moore, 'Natural Gas Is Crushing Wind and Solar Power' The cost of natural gas is down 90% since 2005 'thanks to fracking' which dems want to ban. Had to import natural gas 10 years ago. This boom has allowed the US to reduce CO2 emissions faster than any other country.
Feb 26, 2020 ~ At a CNN Townhall a student named Beverly who racked up an insane $250,000 in student loan, mostly from undergrad asked Sanders, 'What is your plan for students like me with student loan debt and how do you plan to pay for it?' Who wouldn't spend that much if the government pays?
Feb 28, 2020 ~ Bill Barr, 'The crux of the progressive program is to use the public purse to provide ever-increasing benefits to the public and to, thereby, build a permanent constituency of supporters who are also dependents.' Make us 25 yr olds in the basement fighting for a bigger allowance.
Mar 11, 2020 ~ John Stossel, 'Government Outlaws Freelance Work' New law requires reclassifying freelance workers as employees. 'people who hire them must now give them benefits like overtime, unemployment'. Vox calls it 'a victory for workers everywhere', then lays off hundreds because of it.

Mar 17, 2020 ~ Walter Williams, 'Socialism's Past'. Prof. Williams catalogs a long list of failed socialist promises and predictions and equally untrue statements and predictions about capitalism. Among the quoted, 'Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Hugo Chavez, Maduro, and Bernie Sanders.'
Apr 1, 2020 ~ Walter Williams, 'Managing a Disaster'. Professor Williams tries again to explain how price gouging laws cause the kinds of shortages we are seeing due to COVID19. Allows some to hoard while many others get none. Allowing prices to rise would signal more production, less hoarding
Apr 23, 2020 ~ Andrew Cuomo is asked about the concerns of people who lost their job and want to get back to work. He said, 'if you want to go to work, go take the job as an essential worker.' Very out of touch. Jobs people use to feed their family and pay their bills are essential jobs.
Apr 23, 2020 ~ Mitch McConnell and GOP correctly refuse to bail out states that were heading to bankruptcy prior to COVID19 due to decades of under funding pensions. 'There's not going to be any desire on the Republican side to bail out state pensions by borrowing money from future generations'
Apr 28, 2020 ~ Rich Lowry, 'The Hospital Crisis of Our Making' One purpose of shutting down was to protect health care workers. But they're being laid off by the tens of thousands due to stopping 'elective' medical care. 'We had to destroy the hospitals to save them.' Unintended consequences.
May 13, 2020 ~ John Stossel on how the unintended consequences of the Americans with Disabilities Act may have harmed people with disabilities more than it helped them by making employers afraid to hire them. 'Before the ADA passed, 59% of disabled men had jobs.' 48% after, now less than 30%.
May 18, 2020 ~ Ibram X. Kendi says 'Capitalism is essentially racist; racism is essentially capitalist. They were birthed together from the same unnatural causes, and they shall one day die together from unnatural causes.' Nonsense. Capitalism is simply an economic system based on liberty.

Jun 10, 2020 ~ Andrea Widburg, 'A word about public-sector unions' Great explanation of why public-sector unions are bad. FDR understood. Normal union is labor vs. management. Both have skin in the game. Business fails if unreasonable. PSUs are workers+politicians vs. taxpayers who have no say.
Jun 20, 2020 ~ Alexandra Phillips, The Telegraph, 'Make no mistake - BLM is a radical neo-Marxist political movement' All these corporations giving millions to #BLM have no idea what they are signing up for. 'BLM happily self-identifies as a neo-Marxist movement... dismantling capitalism' etc.

Jul 8, 2020 ~ Robert Doar, 'Denying Progress Is Key to the Left's Rhetoric' 'There are hundreds of ways to document how different America is today than it was 60 years ago.' Political, black president, 57 black members of Congress, black college graduation rates 4x, millions in upper income.

Sep 3, 2020 ~ The American Psychological Association, says 'Every institution in America is born from the blood of white supremacist ideology and capitalism - and that's the disease'. Another disgusting smear. The @APA controls education and licensing of most U.S. psychologists.

Oct 22, 2020 ~ Kevin Williamson, 'Joe Biden Can't Tax the Rich'. Tax increases on 'the rich' and businesses boomerang back onto the poor and middle class. They pass on the increases in the form of higher prices, lower wages, less raises, less hours, layoffs, etc. GDP goes down. Hurts 401k too.
Nov 3, 2020 ~ Jazz Shaw, 'California legalizes shoplifting with predictable results' Blue cities are decriminalizing theft and telling employees not to interfere with looters or shoplifters to avoid being called 'racist.' But many stores losing money including big stores are leaving the state.

Feb 25, 2021 ~ Veronique de Rugy, 'Don't Overlook Minimum Wage's Negative Effects' Economist Walter Williams always explained why the negative effects of minimum wage outweighed the positive and good intentions. CBO estimates 1.4 million jobs lost for $15. Business go under. Less hours, hiring.
Mar 3, 2021 ~ David Harsanyi, 'AOC’s Terrible Minimum-Wage Argument' Comparision to Denmark where McD employees make $22/hr is very misleading. Denmark has no minimum wage. About half of that goes to taxes and food and other goods are far more expensive there.

Mar 13, 2021 ~ Bloomberg, 'A Tax Code Optimized for White Wealth Leaves Black Americans Behind'. Title is not just misleading. Outright false. Tax code does not consider race. If renters are victimized by the mortgage deduction, far more white people are victimized by it than black people.
Mar 16, 2021 ~ Stephen Moore, 'Don't Force Workers to Join a Union' Rep. Tim Ryan lies about the 'Protecting the Right to Organize Act' Says its 'giving the right to organize.' They already have that. 'This bill doesn't allow people to associate with a union. It forces them to join the union.'
May 9, 2021 ~ David Harsanyi, 'Profit Margins Save Lives' 'the entire notion of having to choose between people and profits, a belief that undergirds much of leftist economics, is debunked by the existence of the COVID vaccine.' Drugs cost $3 billion to develop. No one will do it if no profit.
May 12, 2021 ~ Philip Klein, 'Inflation Soars as Biden Pushes for $4 Trillion in More Spending' The CPI increased '4.2% over the last 12 months, which is the highest increase since 2008.' Democrats think they can print countless trillions and not cause inflation. Zero economic understanding.
May 19, 2021 ~ Biden is destroying the economy by ignoring economics. $300 per week extra unemployment keep 9 million unemployed while 8 million jobs remain unfilled. Inflation soaring as the govt. prints trillions. Gas prices way up after canceling pipelines and drilling. All very predictable.
May 21, 2021 ~ Democrats are destroying their own cities. Since San Fran made shoplifting legal (up to $950), it has skyrocketed predictable to anyone with a brain. Walgreens has CLOSED 17 stores in the city. Was experiencing 4 times the theft vs. rest of country while spending 50X on security.
May 31, 2021 ~ Scott Morefield 'The Dark Democratic Motives Behind The Government-Induced Labor Shortage' Even Dems are not dumb enough to think people will work if you pay them more not to work so what are their motives? They want to grow dependency to grow their power and collapse Capitalism.
Jun 5, 2021 ~ Weaker than 'expected' May jobs report. 'Misses' target by 100,000 jobs. Of course this was 'expected' by economists and conservatives who have been pointing out that Biden is paying people way too much NOT to work. Predictable results for anyone except Democrats.

Jul 19, 2021 ~ Writer of Fake History Nikole Hannah-Jones says "Cuba has the least inequality between black and white people of any place really in the hemisphere." "Cuba actually has the least inequality and that’s largely due to socialism." Everyone is equally destitute, yes due to socialism.
