Biden’s Newest ‘Build Back Better’ Boondoggle Would Worsen Inflationary Squeeze on Middle America - Regardless of how many more mutations Build Back Better goes through, regardless how many times President Joe Biden renames and repackages it, it still suffers from the same fundamental flaw: It concentrates more money and power in Washington at the expense of the real economy. It distorts the economy for the benefit of special interests, and it will lead to a combination of tax hikes, deficit spending, and inflation, now and well into the future, all to the detriment of hardworking families. Instead of further antagonizing households, we could use deregulation and pro-growth tax reform to help the economy. This path would revitalize the nation and dust off the engines of the world’s most dynamic economy. Heritage Experts: Preston Brashers, David Ditch, Peter St. Onge, EJ Antoni, and Joel Griffith
Senators are advancing a computer chips bill. They don't know what's in it yet. – Lawmakers need to get serious about confronting the Chinese Communist Party—not using the CCP as a cover to advance policy items that have nothing to do with China. Giving taxpayer money away to rich corporations is not competing with China. We need to rip up this whole process and start over next year with a bill that actually addresses the threat China poses to the United States, it’s interests and values. The current effort is just a Christmas tree disguised as a China bill. Heritage Expert: Dustin Carmack
Biden’s DOJ increases power and rewards political allies - Bad news doesn’t get better with age, and neither does a bad legal argument. Unfortunately, the Biden Justice Department recently proposed resurrecting a bad — and illegal — Obama-era practice that let left-wing operatives control a slush fund to reward their political allies with the public’s money. And they want to do it without even making any effort to persuade Congress to authorize the giveaway. Heritage Expert: Zack Smith
Federal Judge Blocks Biden’s Attempt to Reinterpret Discrimination Laws - By expanding the Supreme Court’s Bostock decision, the agencies had created new rights and obligations for students, schools, employees, and employers. The Biden administration had forced the states to choose between the threat of legal consequences—enforcement action, civil penalties, and the withholding of federal funding—or altering their own laws to ensure compliance with the agency guidance and avoid any adverse action, something Atchley called an “untenable” choice. Heritage Experts: GianCarlo Canaparo and Sarah Parshall Perry
Does The State Department Really Need A Special Representative For Racial Equity And Justice? - In appointing Smith, Blinken has created yet another unaccountable, ideologically motivated, politically charged senior office with vague goals and no yardsticks for measuring success. Naturally, it will also suck a few million dollars in staff salaries and overhead. The next president should eliminate this position and roll any of its functions that can be proven to add value into the existing Office of Civil Rights at State. Heritage Expert: Simon Hankinson
Why Azerbaijan Merits Greater Strategic Attention From Washington - Azerbaijan has made meaningful progress in liberalizing its economy. In 1996, the first year that The Heritage Foundation included the country in its index, Azerbaijan was regarded as a repressed economy. Since then, however, Azerbaijan has measurably advanced its economic freedom. Its overall rating improvement has become one of the highest. Heritage Expert: Anthony Kim
