Zelensky CURSE Strikes AGAIN

Wow! in the world of politics, it was a nanosecond!

It didn’t look like she would be around long from the beginning. Britain is a financial mess, just like us. The standard “conservative” policy of tax cuts is not going to work. Just using the US as an example, when was the last time government spending was cut? By that I mean, when next year’s budget was less than the previous year - that’s the entire budget, not just some line items? When was the last time we had a budget? Omnibus spending is not a budget.

Certainly, we do better when tax cuts increase revenues (yes, it worked that way in the past), and spending increased slightly slower, but there still was deficit spending and lots of it. We are paying for that now, and until deficit spending stops and we start paying down the debt we won’t have a decent economy where all Americans prosper.

Cutting government spending in real terms must occur for a couple of decades to restore some fiscal sanity. Tax cuts can occur in several years, after inflation is eliminated. The tool for immediate economic stimulus are cuts in regulations. That goes hand-in-hand with cutting government spending. The spending that should be on the chopping block first is to regulatory agencies. That will upset the leftists, but people will not miss it. They will see an improved economy and their bank accounts grow. The difficult part of spending cuts is to benefit programs, where people actually see money from government. That needs to happen, along with massive cuts to the military. We need to stop being the world’s cop and those cuts will never be missed. We can be stronger simply by focusing on true national interests of the first degree.

She’s blaming guess who ? Starts with a P .

At least she did better than CNN+ ...

Wow, I learned a new word from that article: “kakistocracy” - a society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens. I do believe we are in the midst of one of those here.

That’s better than Queen Jane who lasted 9 days, and Liz still has her head.

[Albion Wilde]

Hear her roar. Not.

Note to the UK: You lot have a Deep State, too.

What you need is a Trump.

[Albion Wilde]

Well, that’s 8 minutes I’ll never get back.

I said to my husband yesterday, “She won’t last the year.”
