Maggie “The Budget Hawk” Hassan’s latest ad explains that she is busily reducing the prices of oil and gasoline that are plaguing us. She is portraying herself as having “fiscal responsibility” in another one and being praised as a budget hawk.
That’s great, Maggie, but does anyone believe that these two items are going to solve all the terrible problems visited on us by the Biden/Democrat axis?
A July 5, a Monmouth University poll showed that 63% say either inflation, gas prices, the economy, or everyday bills/groceries are their family’s top concern (inflation and gas prices alone combined for 47% with the panacea of them all, abortion, at 5%).
Inflation is a result of too much money chasing too few items to be purchased. 40% of all our printed money in circulation has been printed by Joe Biden and his administration. Imagine that 40% of your pocket change appeared since Biden said that he would protect and defend the US Constitution instead of working to destroy it and us.

Where was Maggie, the budget hawk, when word was spread that Biden and his tool, Br’er Mayorkas, were flying illegal aliens all over America and putting them up on our dime? Crickets.
Where was Maggie, the budget hawk, when Biden started throwing hundreds of millions of borrowed money at Ukraine without a nod to or from the House, which is supposed to handle expenditures or the Senate? Crickets?
Where was Maggie, the budget hawk, when Biden and his confreres announced his glorious plan to give non-citizens, who broke federal law when they illegally crossed the southern border, federal ID cards which will enable them to start scooping up our limited benefits, which were hidden behind “Door # 3”, once the Democrats realized that these often illiterate people could be draped in emoluments they never dreamed they’d get, will vote for them keep them in power? Crickets.

Regardless of what the far left media swears are possible, men will never get pregnant, it’s a biological impossibility any more than a guy telling you he is a woman is now, presto, a woman like Lia Thomas is a “woman.”
Where was Maggie the hawk when Biden just signed something, some sort of Executive Order of the type that made Barack Obama famous – the pen and the phone caper – which allows Biden to steal Medicaid funds, which are normally reserved for children, pregnant women, parents, seniors, and individuals with disabilities? Biden is stealing these funds from our most vulnerable to pay for the airline, train, and bus tickets for folks in states where the voting majority has said no to abortion and send these abortion seekers to other states? Does anybody have a clue about the price of this insanity? Didn’t we once foot our own medical bills? Crickets from our own Maggie, the budget hawk.
While we’re at it, the Democrats and some RINOs have just passed a tremendous bag of insanity, the Inflation Reduction Act, which will throw rocket fuel onto our roaring inflation bonfire. NBC says there’s $430 billion in new spending along with taxes – read taxes on every one of us putting an end to Biden’s talked about $400,000 limit, below which he said we wouldn’t be taxed. Suddenly the Moon is made of green cheese.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS would receive $80 billion in funding to hire as many as 87,000 additional employees and future Democrat voters. The increase would be more than double the size of the IRS workforce, which currently has 78,661 full-time staffers, according to federal data. The Internal Revenue Service will now employ more bureaucrats than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol combined. The IRS has 5 million rounds of ammunition and recently purchased another 4,500 weapons. Where’s Maggie, the budget hawk on this bit of chicanery? Crickets.
Included in this act is $4 billion in new federal drought relief funds to help the re-election campaigns of Democratic Senators Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada and Mark Kelly in Arizona. And just for the dim but mouthy AOC and her buds, this gargantuan bill aptly named the Inflation Reduction Act, which will do absolutely nothing to curtail the inflation that’s eating up every dime we own, contains $369 billion, a $1,000 dollar future bill for every American, just to help change the weather. What, nothing from Maggie the budget hawk again? What? Crickets.
The Tax Foundation estimates that the insanity contained in the Inflation Reduction Act will reduce long-run economic output by about 0.1 percent and eliminate just about 30,000 full-time equivalent jobs in the United States. It would also reduce average after-tax incomes for taxpayers across every income quintile over the long run and reduce capital stock valuations by .3%.
This worthless bill, for us in New Hampshire and for folks all over the USA, will cause no end of damage possibly meted out at the hands of armed IRS agents. But when you’re a budget hawk at Maggie Hassan’s level, you need never investigate the fallout from not reading the bills you blindly vote for, and if you do see a contrarian piece from a non-partisan economic source, stop, read no further than the troubling headlines then discard it. Just vote for any kind of bill that’ll shake us down like a boot full of quarters turned upside down, just so long as you garner Chuck Schumer’s kudos and nods at far-left luncheons and soirees and are praised by Chris “Flap Jack” Pappas and the likes of Annie Kuster, two other exceedingly keen budget hawks.
If somebody dares grill Maggie the budget hawk, about the full-blown insanity called the Democrats since 2021, or how vast monetary expenditures will limit drought by changing the weather, you’ll get the same species of insect you always get from US Senator Maggie Hassan:
Crickets.
