With the federal government pulls back on funding for disaster relief, healthcare, infrastructure, and law enforcement, states will scramble to fill the gap. But can they do it without raising taxes substantially? And if they do raise taxes, won’t the wealthy simply pack up and move to low-tax states, creating a bidding war for the lowest possible rates?
Trump’s economic policies are built on fantasy, and the price of those delusions will be paid by working Americans. While he distracts his supporters with talk of tariffs, tax cuts, and “bringing back” manufacturing, the real economic crisis is looming: climate-driven collapse. Instead of preparing for the challenges of the 21st century, he’s doubling down on a failed 1950s economic model. But there’s another way—a strategy that actually works. If I were king, we’d launch a WWII-style economic mobilization, one that actually makes America stronger instead of weaker.
With growing concerns over American political influence and corporate monopolies, Canadians are considering an unusual but powerful form of protest: boycotting U.S. products. Could consumer choices be the key to pushing back against unchecked economic dominance?
Every spring and fall, we go through the same ritual—changing our clocks forward or back an hour. But beyond the minor inconvenience of lost sleep or a disrupted routine, what is the true cost of daylight savings time (DST)? From economic impacts to health consequences, shifting the clocks twice a year carries significant, often overlooked costs. Is it time to stop this outdated practice?
Donald Trump’s latest address to Congress was everything we’ve come to expect—long, rambling, and full of misleading claims. But what’s more concerning is not just the falsehoods, but the economic storm brewing underneath them. While his supporters cheer on the rhetoric, the real economy is shifting in ways that will hit them hardest. With tariffs taking effect, inflation creeping up, and government cuts slashing through key programs, the next few months could be a wake-up call. The question is—how long before they feel enough pain?
America is not just "going broke"—it’s being driven off a fiscal cliff by the very people who claim to be its saviors. While red states have long depended on federal support, Trump, Doge, and the Republican leadership are now engineering a financial collapse that will hit their own base first. The irony? Those same states that cry about "big government" are the ones most reliant on federal aid. With cities already in trouble and red-state budgets running on fumes, the GOP’s agenda may lead to economic cannibalism. And when the money runs dry, who will foot the bill?
For decades, politicians have weaponized the deficit myth to justify gutting social programs while giving the wealthy endless tax cuts. The real issue isn’t debt—it’s where money flows. A Progressive Consumption Tax would shift the tax burden from workers to billionaires, ensuring wealth is reinvested into the economy instead of hoarded in offshore accounts. It’s time to expose the con and fix the system.
U.S. import tariffs from Canada, Mexico, and China could trigger higher prices, industry disruptions, and global trade retaliation. Consumers and businesses alike should prepare for economic fallout.
