Ocasio-Cortez & The DSA: What They, And Increasingly More Democrats, Believe | Daily Wire

Ocasio-Cortez & The DSA: What They, And Increasingly More Democrats, Believe | Daily Wire:

Additionally, the DSA acknowledges their coalition may range from motivated progressive Democrats to Karl Marx enthusiasts; what matters is that they are fellow travelers in socialist solidarity.
Not only do Ocasio-Cortez and the DSA want to #AbolishICE, but the DSA wants to abolish the Senate.
As stated in their digital manifest, direct democracy would require the abolishment of the “extremely unrepresentative political body” known as the Senate. The socialists take issue that each state has equal weight and representation — no matter if it is Montana or California — oddly, an ideology that prides itself on equity, attacks the system of egalitarian state influence.

The Grumpy Economist: Who will pay unfunded state pensions?

The Grumpy Economist: Who will pay unfunded state pensions?: 
"Homeowners. 
So says a nice WSJ op-ed...points out its inevitability. 
If indeed courts will insist that benefits may not be cut, then state governments must raise taxes, and this is the only one that can do the trick.
States can try to raise income taxes. 
And people will move. 
States can try to raise business taxes. 
And businesses will move. 
What can states tax that can't move? 
Only real estate.
If the state drastically raises the property tax, there is no choice but to pay it. 
You can sell, but the new buyer will be willing to pay much less. 
Pay the tax slowly over time, or lose the value of the property right away in a lower price.

The ACLJ’s Agenda for Reform is Advancing Because Economic Promises Have Been Made and Kept | American Center for Law and Justice

The ACLJ’s Agenda for Reform is Advancing Because Economic Promises Have Been Made and Kept | American Center for Law and Justice:

While critics of this Administration have said that those promises on jobs, the economy, and achieving fair trade would be nearly impossible to achieve, it is clear that those promises are now coming true.
Real gross domestic product in the last quarter increased at an annual rate of 4.1%, as consumer spending championed the economy, according to the advance estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. It is manifest, that this jump represents the fastest increase in GDP growth since the third quarter of 2014. This means that the U.S. economy is on track to hit the highest annual average growth rate in over 13 years.. This progress makes the promise of 4% economic growth a reality.

The Unsung Hero Who Financed the American Revolution, and His Lesson for Today | The Heritage Foundation:

Our nation is once again at a crossroads between liberty and tyranny, with the ideals of the Founders challenged by the liberal left.
As Morris asserted in a letter to Col. Joseph Reed, “[I]t is the duty of every individual to act his part in whatever station his country may call him to in times of difficulty, danger, and distress.”
More than ever, we need generous conservatives to take up the mantle of Robert Morris and employ whatever skills and passions they have toward reclaiming America.
