The War on Poverty didn’t conquer poverty, it entrenched it, fostering a permanent underclass through dependency and family breakdown. The Inflation Reduction Act did no such thing, it fueled more spending and inflationary pressure. The Patriot Act was anything but patriotic, erecting a vast, permanent surveillance state that eroded civil liberties in the name of security. Time and again, these grandly named “Acts” deliver the precise opposite of their promises. Government interventions routinely ignore second-order consequences, distorted incentives, unintended behaviors, and cascading failures, leaving us with more problems than we started with. Perhaps it’s time for Washington to step back from micromanaging the economy and people’s lives, before the unintended damage grows even worse.




Sen. Elizabeth Warren is under fire after Spirit Airlines abruptly shut down, two years after she praised a blocked merger between Spirit and JetBlue as a "Biden win for flyers." Spirit has ceased operations immediately, leaving many travelers stranded after all flights were canceled and reigniting debate over whether federal regulators got it wrong in blocking the merger. The Democrat defended her position following Spirit’s collapse, arguing that rising oil prices due to the Iran conflict was "the nail in the coffin" for the doomed airline.
