I’ve been reporting about the potential connection of tariffs to small biz job losses. Scott Lincicome of Cato offers this piece discussing not just the high level of the tariffs, but the “truly insane complexity” whose “overall economic cost is likely staggering. “

A great history lesson… missing the theory that debt is now ok, be it billionaires leveraging their assets or regular humans trying to make ends meet.
And here we are.
And here we are.
We too often look at prices when talking about affordability & not enough at wages. As Harold Meyerson explains, had the bottom 90% earned the same share of national income they did in 1975, by 2023 they would have made an additional $79 trillion!

Are there any conservatives that aren’t grifters?
We all know Ford is an abject liar.
The amount of money being thrown at corporations (particularly developers) through this boondoggle and many others (OSC, Ontario Place, stupid tunnel, the 413, the Greenbelt, ad nauseam) and then tossed back to the “government” is like a game of hot potato.
