Biden will not be deterred from using your money to pay off other people’s student loans
“Two think tanks – the Michigan-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the Cato Institute – have challenged the Biden administration’s loan forgiveness for more than 800,000 borrowers who had participated in income-driven repayment plans. The groups cite Biden’s ‘utter disregard for federal law and the Constitution.’”

A politician’s job announcements are very different from a state’s economic trends
“Headlines might indicate something in the broader economy, but they typically mean that state lawmakers are willing to hand out special favors to create the appearance of economic growth. Business subsidies waste tons of money without improving state economic performance.”

Little-known Michigan court case could have massive constitutional effects across the nation
“If warrantless drone surveillance is deemed a form of reasonable search, there’s little standing in the way of routine, invasive drone patrols in any American neighborhood. And if the court allows illegally obtained evidence to be used in civil cases, municipal governments could launch legal fishing expeditions against any private citizen.”

Nobody Is Buying What Gretchen Whitmer Is Selling
“Like Biden, Whitmer doesn’t have a messaging problem. She has a policy problem. And as the states that are growing can attest, the solution is to empower families and job creators, not try to woo them with empty advertisements.”

Politicians’ Job Training and College Sales Pitch is Snake Oil
“The political popularity of job training and college has led to a proliferation of costs and programs with little accountability. Every problem results in one more effort to do more job training and college. None of it assesses what is already done, or whether it works.”
James Hohman, Director of Fiscal Policy
