@realTJRoberts Something tragic happened to them when they were young

You weren’t saying that when Biden was president.

Groceries cost too much, gas prices are draining wallets and healthcare bills are impossible to pay. Isn’t it time we put everyday Americans first?

@SenWarren Hello! I’m Senator Warren:
It’s time to tax the air you breathe.
Just so you’re aware, you can’t tax inanimate objects.
You can only tax people.
What she really means is, it’s time to tax you for using AI.

@JReputables @Rothmus Yes, greed is the ill of capitalism, but fear is the antidote. One could also argue that the ill of greed doesn't just disappear with socialism either.

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.”
Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible.
Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs.
Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point.
While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide.
Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse.
Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable.
Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization.
Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned.
The lesson is clear.
Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property.
Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning.
The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.

How misleading can someone be. Planned parenthood doesn’t save lives, it kills babies.

Trump and Republicans demand we pay tens of billions for wars nobody asked for and to bankroll ICE to terrorize our communities. How do we pay for it? By sacrificing OUR healthcare, without giving us a say. As a result, Michigan’s left footing the bill just to keep our mothers, wives, and daughters alive. Make no mistake, Michigan will step up, just as other states are being forced to, and make sure women don’t lose their last point of access to care. We’ve worked too hard to deliver what Michigan voters have told us they need, and now we need to do it again. The stakes are too high not to.

Your plan will take a year and only targets families. What about us seniors
Gretchen Whitmer@gretchenwhitmer
This administration's tariffs continue to jack up prices, hurt businesses, and create uncertainty for Michigan workers and families. That’s why we’ll keep doing what we can to give Michiganders some relief right now. From free breakfast and lunch to tuition assistance and tax cuts for seniors and working families, we’ll keep doing our job and putting money back in your pocket.

Lower fuel taxes. That’s immediate relief.
