Here’s How the Federal Government Is Mucking Up the Inflation Fight
By hiking interest rates, the Federal Reserve has pulled some of its monetary stimulus out of the economy.

The Chickens Have Come Home To Roost; It Just Took a Decade+ Longer Than We Thought
While I was on my town’s Budget Committee, I warned the town and school board against taking “free money” that the Feds were giving out like the candy thrown out by Old Home Day marchers. The analogy was apt.

Vermont’s legislature is working out the final details of Gov. Scott’s proposed 8.4 Billion dollar budget. Eight billion. That’s over 12,957.00 dollars for every man, woman, and child in the state. Guess how much New Hampshire’s is?

Maggie Hassan’s Latest Ad Says She’s Fiscally Responsible – That’s a Big A** Lie.

Well, It Only Took 15 Years But I’m Finally Right About The National Debt – A Spiral Is About To Happen?
When a nation’s citizens and its leaders decide that money is no object, money will have no value. For YEARS, while on my town’s Budget Committee, that which cannot be sustained, won’t. Stop taking the “free money” and start being self-sufficient – priorities will sharpen and the “strings attached syndrome” will go away (in which “free” becomes “we will pay MORE over the years for taking the free money than what the free money was worth”.
