The President’s 2021 Budget Proposal Extends The Individual Tax Cuts
The president’s 2021 budget proposal extends individual tax cuts. This keeps payroll taxes from automatically increasing on working Americans. That is scheduled to happen in 2026. But by extending those individual tax cuts the budget would cut taxes by $1.4 trillion.
Focus on Growth, Opportunity and Innovation is Paying Off for New Hampshire
The takeaway message from Gov. Chris Sununu’s State of the State address on Thursday was that New Hampshire, like comedian Larry The Cable Guy, gets her done.
Data Point – Even Democrats are optimistic about the Trump Economy!
Well, at least 60% of them even with all of their Prez Wannabees whining about how bad it is (e.g., they’re lying about it to puff out their chests): (H/T: Powerline)
Oh, an add-on to Liam Kennedy’s lament about viewing Govt as incompetent and inept.
Remember, he was the academician that just hates on Paw Patrol – the Grandson’s favorite cartoon series (at least, today; next week – who knows?): In this world, politicians are presented as incompetent or unethical and the state, either incapable of delivering or unwilling to provide basic social services to citizens Well, there are many of … Read more
Occasional Cortex (AOC) Submits Bill to Ban Fracking Nationwide by 2025
The left hates fracking. It creates jobs, stimulates growth in the economy, keeps energy prices down. All things they are happy to sacrifice on the altar of their green socialist god. So, is it any wonder Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a bill to end that growth and prosperity within five years?
Democrats in Vermont are Just as Stupid as Dems In NH When It comes to Minumum Wage
While I appreciate the efforts of Vermont Democrats to drive more job creators and commerce into New Hampshire, I must take issue with blatant economic stupidity when I see it. Pseudo-Republican Gov. Scott has vetoed their minimum wage bill. The Democrat’s response is, well, stupid.
Brilliant! Team Trump Twitter Video Takes Nancy and Her Speech Tearing Antics to the Wood Shed
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
Winning in Trump’s Economy
Who is winning in Trump’s economy? In his State of the Union address the President rolled out an eye-catching statistic. He said the wealth held by the poorest half of American households increased three times as fast as the wealth held by the “1%” under his administration. Wealth means net worth. This is true according … Read more
The Economy Added 225,000 Jobs in January and Wages are up.
We teased this Wednesday with ADP and Moody’s reporting that January 2020 had the single biggest monthly rise in payrolls since May of 2015. That lead the way for today’s Department of Labor Report. The economy added 225,000 jobs in January and wages are up.
Great News for Minorities – And Then Nancy Ripped it up in Front of them and the World
Democrats sat on their hands as President Trump rattled off historical gains and record-breaking economic improvements for minorities in America. That’s not new, by the way. If you search their congressional web pages you won’t find a word about any of it.
January 2020 Increase is Best Monthly Gain in Private Payroll in 5 Years
President Trump’s recovery continues into 2020. CNBC is reporting some impressive numbers for January, which is typically a month when businesses shed jobs added for Christmas. They’re calling it the best monthly gain in private payroll since May of 2015.
Bernie Submits Bill To Ban Fracking in the US Senate (Must Want Democrats to Lose)
We’ve had a thing or two to say about fracking. Good things. Not just to piss off Democrats who bought in on the Left’s lies about this valuable process and resource. We (rightly) think Fracking has been great for America. Bernie Sanders wants to ban it.
Gallup: Trump’s Record on Race Relations is Better Than Obama’s
It’s a strange world when the so-called Nazi President Trumphitler is a better friend of Jews and Israel than any President, perhaps ever. Trump is also regarded by the left as a racist who incites racism but Gallup shows race relations under Trump are better than they were under Obama.
#NHEconomy goes BOOM – again – in December
Thanks to AFP-NH State Director Greg Moore for the headline and the link. I think Democrats must be disappointed, though. Their budget deal requires the economy to tank before they can raise taxes. They agreed to that.
Data Point – Consumer Confidence highest in nearly 20 years
From Bloomberg: U.S. consumer confidence advanced last week to the highest level in more than 19 years on increased optimism about the economy, personal finances and the buying climate. Bloomberg’s index of consumer comfort rose to 66 in the week ended Jan. 12, the best reading since October 2000, from 65.1, according to a report … Read more
Recycling – I’ll say it: it’s just Economic Insanity
I’ve been blogging about what has been going on in my home town that just put up the “Scott Dunn monument to Economic Illiteracy” and the Mandatory Recycling mandate in order to make “The Plan” work. You can’t use the new Recycle Center (“RC”), just built for the amount of $1.3 Million dollar, unless YOU … Read more
Trump: “The American dream is back, bigger, better, and stronger than ever before”
Your president was in Davos for the World Economic Forum. Deep in enemy territory. No one really likes you. But Trump being Trump, he rubbed America’s economy in their collective globalist faces.
Recycling trash? It doesn’t pay at all as advertised; it’s just another form of religion
Scott Dunn’s monument to economic illiteracy (the Gilford Recycling Center) will lose close to $7million over the next 10 years.
Notable Quote – Richard Wagner
The robust commercial republic that emerged through this constitution of liberty clearly warranted the designation of American exceptionalism. That exceptionalism has been under assault for around a century now as the consensual principle upon which the American regime was founded has come increasingly to give way to the factional principle, whereby government becomes an instrument … Read more
