Re: “Senate passes funding bill over fierce Democratic opposition” (March 15, 2025)
A brand new Pied Piper has arrived in Washington, D.C., wearing swimsuit and tie. His many guarantees gained him the election, regardless of his tarnished repute as an individual convicted of felonies. His devoted followers within the Senate just lately authorised a spending invoice granting him even better authority to take the facility of the purse away from its rightful place in Congress.
His guarantees to cut back the dimensions of the federal government, decontrol industries, shut borders, improve manufacturing, and decrease inflation and taxes by elevated tariffs sound candy however ring hole for a lot of Individuals. Regardless of these hole guarantees, his followers settle for his authority with out query. We should always query how manufacturing can improve with out state and native permits, extra capital from the non-public sector and new tools operated by skilled staff. Additionally, we should always ask how tariffs will scale back inflation and improve jobs promising enchancment to our economic system, regardless of economists’ rational arguments on the contrary.
The brand new Pied Piper shouldn’t be involved in Making America Nice Once more. As an alternative, MAGA seems to face for Majority Assembled Gone Awry.
