Budget

Responding to Democrats in her party who are troubled by the massive $3.5 trillion spending bill that would forever transform America into a debtor nation, Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked a question: “Where would you cut?” Her question carries with it a conceit held by many contemporary politicians that every government program is sacred and must not be touched. Even suggesting that a decrease in…

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe joined The New York Times in hitting Democrats from the left and whining that the plan by left-wing lawmakers to hike taxes by $2 trillion to fund massive socialist spending was too “moderate.” After hyping a Times article that wailed about the proposed legislation failing to “dent the vast fortunes” of the wealthy, the show’s liberal…

On Sunday, the leftist media went to work slamming Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin for daring to oppose his party’s effort to waste trillions of taxpayer dollars on a radical socialist agenda. In multiple interviews, he was urged to abandon his principled objections and even accused of corrupt collusion with the fossil fuel industry to block climate change measures in the wildly…

The front page of Wednesday’s New York Times warned “Big Business Mobilizing to Battle Tax Proposals.” The text box: “Democrats’ Ambitions for Social Spending Are on the Line.” Trillions of dollars of new spending, in fact, as well as tax hikes on “the rich.” Reporters Jonathan Weisman, Alan Rappeport, and Jim Tankersley clearly took the side of President Biden and liberal big-…

You don't have to wait for an infrastructure bill to arrive on Joe Biden's desk. John Avlon and CNN Newsroom substitute host Erica Hill began Wednesday's show by hailing and fawning over President Biden for having most transformative and impactful first year as president since Ronald Reagan.

On Wednesday, the network morning shows were already eager to get out the pom-poms and cheerleader for Democrats wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars on a radical socialist agenda. Hosts on NBC, ABC, and CBS touted Senate approval to begin debate on the massive $3.5 trillion boondoggle as “another big step to push through President Biden’s agenda.”

Democrats wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars on a left-wing wish list of socialist agenda items would be like living in some kind of wonderful dream world for MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle. Opening her 9:00 a.m. ET hour show on Thursday, the liberal host reached back to her childhood and praised the massive $3.5 trillion spending bill being pushed by Democrats as a “Barbie DreamHouse of…

On Tuesday, NBC’s Today show devoted nearly five minutes of air time to lobbying for massive new infrastructure spending and higher taxes to pay for the legislation, key items on the Democratic Party’s stalled agenda. The report warned of economic doom if the United States didn’t immediately sink trillions of additional taxpayer dollars into the latest Biden administration priority.…

America has a record 8.1 million job openings. The media call it a “labor shortage.” But it's not a labor shortage; it's an incentive shortage. “No one wants to work,” says a sign on a restaurant drive-thru speaker in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Please be patient with the staff that did show up.” I never wanted to work. I got a job because I had to support myself. That was good for me. It forced…

For MSNBC senior business correspondent and host Stephanie Ruhle, Friday's woeful jobs numbers prove that in addition to the recent $2 trillion COVID stimulus, the U.S. needs to adopt the White House's expanded definition of "infrastructure" and spend an addition $4 trillion.

As Congress prepared to slink into their smoke-filled backrooms to craft the next federal budget, President Biden made it clear that his old-timey ways meant that the era of wasteful earmarks and pork-barrel spending was back. And despite Democrats and some Republicans packing on millions of dollars of taxpayer money in spending for their pet projects in their home districts, the flagship…

With just a few hours until President Biden delivered his first address to Congress on Wednesday, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News couldn’t hold back their excitement as they trumpeted Biden’s call for an additional $4 trillion in federal spending on mostly liberal pet projects. CBS anchor Norah O’Donnell kicked off the newscast by celebrating the return of big…

According to MSNBC, Biden deserves credit for rewriting the meaning of the word, "infrastructure," to pay for Democrats' pet projects.

CBS This Morning on Tuesday went all in on the billion dollar boondoggle for electric cars in Joe Biden’s “infrastructure” bill. With no explanation of just how expensive this part of the plan is, the journalists backed the idea of GM (with the heavy hand of the government) switching to all electric by 2035.
