Plus: Government Eyes Collecting More Data on Americans to Address Pay Discrimination
July 29 2022
Happy Friday from Washington, where D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser wants the Biden administration to aid illegal aliens bused here from Texas and Arizona. Roman Jankowski has the story. Democrats’ ballyhooed bill actually won’t check inflation, David Harsanyi writes. On the podcast, Doug Blair looks into whether Texas holds the key to improving America’s health care. Plus: the government seeks more data on Americans’ pay; Nancy Pelosi’s necessary Taiwan visit; the latest unwise Obamacare subsidies; and reviving the Green New Deal. On this date in 1958, Congress passes legislation creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, to coordinate America’s activities in outer space.
The Inflation Reduction Act is crammed with the very same spending, corporate welfare, price fixing, and tax hikes that were part of Build Back Better—all items on progressives’ wish list.
Democrat politicians call for the Biden administration’s help in responding to an increase in illegal immigrants caused by the busing of thousands to the nation’s capital by Arizona and Texas.
"When it comes to good health care bills, there really shouldn't be a left and right divide," says Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Dave Balat. "It should be about what's best for patients."
At this point, Pelosi must visit. To back off in the face of menacing warnings from Beijing would signal to the region and beyond a changing of the guard.
Democrats claim that without the extra subsidies, health insurance premiums for 2023 will soar and millions will lose coverage. These claims are wrong and misleading.
The bill proposed by Democrats would line the pockets of special interests, advance a radical leftist agenda, and make Americans poorer while giving them fewer energy choices.
After expressing his concerns about the impact of inflation, Sen. Joe Manchin has signed off on a massive tax and spending bill that only would push prices for working families even higher.
