Want the world to be more affordable? Follow Volcker and Reagan. Tighten credit until inflation is below the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Cut spending, taxes and regulations and grow the supply of goods and services. Restore deterrence and freedom of navigation in the Middle East. And remain steadfast in the face of economic and political trouble.

🎯 @dpletka & @BrettDSchaefer “The record of bias is plain. According to a database compiled by U.N. Watch, since it was founded in 2006, the Council has adopted 346 resolutions containing language condemning a country for human rights violations. Israel was the focus of 116 (34 percent) of those resolutions.”

And the average French worker only gets to keep 53 cents of each dollar of those lower wages after taxes.
'Average annual wages in France, measured in U.S. dollar purchasing power, are over 30 percent less than they are in the United States. The last time the World Bank published its “ease of doing business” rankings, in 2020, France came in 32, in league with Turkey.'

In DC, a family with a housing voucher can rent a 3-bedroom apartment for up to $5,301, which is significantly higher than the market rent in even the most expensive DC neighborhoods.
'PPIC found that since Prop. 47’s passage, the state has seen a roughly 10 percent increase in the unsheltered homelessness rate, or around 7,000 additional people sleeping on the streets. This accounts for about one-fifth of the state’s total unsheltered population growth between 2015 and 2019.' @Hopestreetco @CityJournal

In several races, Democrats are running ads saying the Republicans gave data centers tens of billions in tax breaks. The numbers are wrong, and the "tax breaks for data centers" aren't directed at data centers and aren't tax breaks.
The hot new Democratic campaign tactic is to attack Republicans over a tax break that doesn't exist. @PostOpinions washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
