Truth. Another reason these Trump tariffs must end.
Wow. Trump's DOJ just openly admitted that its interpretation of IEEPA could be used by a future president to declare a "climate change" emergency and impose 50% tariffs on energy.

Sauer insists that the government doesn't assert the power to raise revenue under IEEPA, only to levy tariffs. Kind of weird to raise over $150 billion in revenue, and gloat about it, without ever asserting the power to raise revenue. (And tariffs are taxes.)

What if I told you healthcare is actually cheap and healthcare bureaucracy is expensive

I reviewed Thomas Piketty's Brief History of Equality for the Centre for Enterprise, Markets and Ethics at Oxford University. This book is essentially a leaf-leaning technocrat's political manifesto. Nothing more. As political manifestos go, this is outstanding work. There is

The Texas government doing what it does best… PRETENDING to cut taxes… while NOT actually cutting any taxes. Texans deserve better.
Texas voters approved three constitutional amendments last night to prohibit taxes on capital gains, estates, and security transactions in Texas. But these taxes don’t exist now so don’t have an economic effect other than increased tax certainty. More 👇

Texas voters approved several amendments that exempted people from paying certain local school district property taxes. These may be good politically, but are bad economically and fiscally as they just shift the burden of government spending to renters, employers, and others

BREAKING: Tonight, Austin taxpayers revolted against an indefensible, morally bankrupt, ridiculous and unaffordable $110M property tax increase supported by our Mayor and 9/10 council members. The margin was 66%-34% — a landslide. Taxpayers sent a clear message to #ATXcouncil:

In 1796 SCOTUS decided its first major case, Hylton v. United States. It was a tax case involving economic questions. Justice Paterson accordingly consulted an economist for guidance. Let us hope that tomorrow's court does the same & rejects Trump's economically unsound tariffs

An argument for private air traffic control if I ever saw one.
