Should be absolutely clear why Twitter is censoring them.

It’s a dangerous sword to wield, though, because once you hand out a subsidy, you can never take it back without consequences.

Cries for more state money, freedom from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and for President Alberto Fernandez to step down echoed within the angry crowds gathered near the president’s office—Casa Rosada —during the nation’s independence day celebration on July 9.

Since then, scheduled demonstrations have continued, led by professional protest organizers or “piqueteros” demanding the abolition of the proposed subsidy cuts and a wage increase.

“This is madness. What the piqueteros are asking for is madness,” Alvaro Gomez told The Epoch Times.

Gomez has lived and worked in Buenos Aires for more than 15 years and currently is a taxi driver. As the years have passed, he’s watched his country dive deeper into economic chaos.

“I’ve seen five presidents come and go in that time; nothing has improved. Half of our country doesn’t want a job, and the ones that do, don’t want to pay the taxes for the others,” he said.

Manchin’s Tax Hike Does Not Touch Amazon’s Biggest Tax Break

According to this, the proposed new corp. minimum tax excludes a number of tax deductions in the tax code, but does not exclude any tax credits. Surprise, surprise; Amazon, the supposed whipping boy of tax dodgers, utilizes mostly tax credits and not the deductions. I am sure Bezos never lost a minute’s sleep over this.

I saw an NYC restauranteur on business news today who talked about the tremendous difficulties he is having hiring new employees.
The two major problems he is experiencing are:

1) the most capable employees, the ones he wants, are moving to south Florida because they can make more money (it may be more than just salary pay, but I might have missed the detail) and

2) the prospective employees are refusing to let go of their unemployment benefits and will work only if their new employer will pay them (illegally) under the table. This employer won’t do this, although he suspects some other restaurants will do this.

This is the favorite to be the Republican candidate for Governor of Michigan this year. I find her appealing. I’m wagering that ‘Republican’ lawyer from Michigan that Althouse finally banned despises this woman.

National debt reached $30 trillion this year. It was $8 trillion in 2005 and $16 trillion in 2012.

Interest on the national debt is about $400 billion in 2022. Interest payments will double to $600 billion in a few years and will reach $1 trillion by 2032 (or higher), according to the CBO. Social Security trust fund will be out of money by 2034 (Officially).

Right now tax receipts pay for mandatory programs. Every other program funded by the government is “paid” for with borrowed dollars. The new default for deficit spending is now $1.5 trillion/ year.

The Federal Reserve balance sheet is $9 trillion. The Fed is the largest “purchaser” of treasury products. Is there a limit to the Fed’s purchase of bonds?

The federal budget is in the best of hands?

Is it time to panic?

On the other hand, why American legislators need to fly all over the world has never been clear to me.
