Continuous government spending and short-sighted economic policies have led to an inflation crisis that is clearing shelves and causing astronomical prices at the gas pump. Overall, today you pay 5.4% more for items than you did one year ago… and it’s only going to get worse.

Are you sick of paying higher costs for goods and services because of inflation?

HURTING NOT HELPING

Reconciliation Bill Would Upend Child Care for Millions

Congress appears on the precipice of passing legislation that will reshape American families with a careless disregard for getting the job done right. The revamped reconciliation spending plan put forth by the White House clocks in at $1.75 trillion, formerly $3.5 trillion. Particularly distressing is the bill's establishment of programs for early child care (from birth to three years old) and universal preschool (from three years old to kindergarten). While these programs sound appealing, child care is a complex subject ill-suited to hasty backroom dealmaking. Learn more.

CAPSULE REVIEW

Despite Best Efforts, IRS Proposal Is Still in Reconciliation Bill

A handful of members of Congress attempted to kill a controversial IRS proposal to track the inflows and outflows of private bank accounts. However, despite their best efforts, the latest spending bill still keeps this revenue raiser as a way to find pennies under the government cushion.

The Erasure of Women

We live in a brave new world. A world in which we may only refer to “pregnant people,” and where maternity outfits have become “parenthood pieces.” The omittance of the pronouns “her” and “she” in an effort to be gender-neutral has led to a world where women are erased from society.
