The biggest enemy of the "middle class" is big government, which increases costs and crowds out jobs...

[EMH]

It doesn't take a PhD to understand. When government spends more, it increases costs (via taxes or debt), and hence discourages investments in new jobs by the private sector...

government spending crowding out - Google Search

The phrase “crowding out” in economics refers to a situation where government spending (which is part of fiscal policy) discourages (private) investment spending in the economy. This is considered a bad thing, since investment spending is one of the key drivers of economic growth.


What made America great in the 1990s was that government spending was kept flat, under control. That produced a booming economy, a budget surplus, a strong and stable dollar, job growth, and the ever elusive low end wage inflation, where those at the bottom increase wealth.

Government spending is wasteful, corrupt, spent in foreign countries with no benefits to America. It destroys wealth. Private investment either creates wealth or it goes out of business. Government destroys wealth and keeps growing. As a nation, we need to create more wealth and stop destroying it. Our debt is $35 trillion, up from under $6 trillion when W took office...

It all started under W and Cheney, the explosion in spending the past quarter century.

To help the middle class, government spending needs to be cut, now.

Kamala will never ever do that....

She is not a fiscal conservative. She is the furthest thing from it... and when Kamala claims she is for the middle class, she is just as "credible" as saying she shut the border....

Nope. the biggest enemy of the middle class is the wealthy folks that control the jobs and the pay.

True.

At all levels, all any government entity has to do to keep it's troops happy is extract more taxpayer funds. And the current trend is squeezing the last drops of blood out of the taxpayer wallets.

Local governments like property appraisers offices and local tax collectors are adding enormous late fees and costs to things such that if you're late with a payment, the fines and late fees are often FAR more than the original tax you owed. It would be like allowing banks to charge you thousands for each time you overdraft by a few dollars.

It's blatant, in your face, theft and it's being accepted as "normal" and "ok". No one says a thing about it.

Local, State and federal governments have gone rogue in taxation and fees and have no restraint.
We already live in a socialist state where the government does not leave individuals enough to live on.
People just keep accepting it so I guess they get what they deserve.

Here's how they make that work for them.......

Anyone who works "for the government" gets a salary, benefits and pension that would never be sustainable in the private sector.
They can do this because they have a limitless tap on cash flow no matter what. Taxation and fees.

So while the rest are losing homes and going without, those "in the system" , such as government5 employees and politicians are richly rewarded and insulated from the financial pains. To them inflation is no problem and these are great times.

It's why so many private sector people and their jobs are fleeing those places.
It's why blue states want to continue to tax you and seize your properties and assets if you try to leave.

Actually, there are recent studies and have found that global IQs are indeed falling.
Much of that is attributed to an orchestrated introduction of harmful elements into the food chain at the very top ie Monsanto etc)
Canola oils and similar products are key.

That's what happened to the GOP after Faux and the "Pro Israel Christians" came in. The GOP since Newt left has not cared one bit about spending or anything conservative. All those sick hopelessly anti conservative people care about is Israel and a 2000 year old book that defines "soon" as more than 2000 years from now... they need to join Dick Cheney and "go back where you came from" as they pop their pills paid for by W socializing senior drugs...

The people that give the middle class jobs and pay are their biggest enemy? What? What a weirdo comment

I have a really bad reaction to Canola, I quickly become a source of gaseous "warming."

Um me too.

Clearly you don’t work or never owned anything or maybe don’t get out much

Let me know what happens when you don’t give the govt a percent of your income…they will come after you, they will take your liberty if you don’t give it up, or take your property if you don’t
