What's Wrong With Canada?

A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man’s mind. Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?” Captain Beatty in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451

For most of their existence Canadians have resented Americans, and given the conflicts involving the Revolution and the War of 1812, that creates a degree of understanding. But we speak the same language, and for decades shared cultural traits that were largely harmonious.  Their economy has always been tied to the American economy, and understandably so since America's economy is massive compared to Canada's, but at some point they seemed to think they were the big economic dog of North America and started acting in ways that are not in the best interests of Canadians.  

On July 16th Judi McLeod, the founder, owner and editor of Canada Free Press, published this piece, Living A Nightmare On Communist Canada’s East Coast saying:

Canada Free Press (CFP) is living a nightmare on Communist Canada’s East Coast having been driven out of Ontario, four years ago, when Premier Doug Ford threatened to freeze our meagre bank account for the government ‘crime’ of editorially supporting the Truckers Freedom Convoy.

 She went on to note a local called the police on them claiming they were driving drunk, locals glared at them at church, and locals "made it clear that they didn’t like Christians, or pro-American journalists", and they had the feeling of being stalked.  Now, I know that sounds looney, but I've been following her commentaries for years, and I've never seen evidence of lunacy in the past, and I don't think she's being a loon now. 

 Now a bit about Doug Ford, who she calls the laughable reincarnation of King George III and is under the impression he can "DISMANTLE the United States of America all on his own steam."   He's a blowhard with a 21% approval rating picking a fight can't win with someone who views him to be as irritating as a mild rash.  The articles goes on to say:

Across the border, savvy Sundance at Conservative Tree House, calls out Ford for the buffoon he really is.".....“Canadians are defining themselves by being hostile to America. This is their national identity now.” (Conservative Tree House, July 21, 2026)...... Ford is trying to ascribe to all Canadians a visceral hatred of America and its president, which is an absolute LIE!

I'm not so sure it's an "absolute lie", but I am sure of the resentment of Canadians is real and it impacts their choices for leadership and is altering their culture, especially their embrace of multiculturalism and the mass migration of Muslims into Canada.  This isn't the Canada that supported the escape of American diplomats out of Iran when Khomeini's thugs arrested them.

In Canada there is no conservative movement as we understand conservatism.  It's more like the RINO's of the Republican party, ...... liberal.... way liberal.  Currently they've chosen Mark Carney as their Prime Minister and his government is filled with what Judi calls smug, arrogant liberal PMs who care little for the suffering of the people of Canada noting that:

Many of them holdovers from the Justin Trudeau cabinet, they’re giddy with the kind of power that comes from knowing there is no possible out from the Liberal Party system that has tormented Canadians for most of their lifetimes. They don’t walk, they strut. The don’t debate, they lecture. They don’t talk, they shout, much of it in braggart style.

The media in Canada is like our Pravda media here in America, only worse since "the Canadian media was initially bought off and paid for with $600M—not including the annual $1.5 billion stipend paid to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)"

However, there's always a heterodox who doesn't fear being the rock in the current and unwilling to be one of Carney's myrmidons:

“In a lengthy post on X last week, my friend and fellow podcaster Ivor Cummins made plain that he believes Mark Carney has in effect been implementing the Cloward Piven strategy in real time and that before our eyes in Canada, he's using his position as prime minister to see to the hellish flowering of the anti-human agenda in all its dreadful glory."

He went on to explain the Canadian government was taken over by globalists whose real loyalty lies with the "World Economic Forum, the United Nations, the Bank for International Settlements, and the other unelected global institutions that aim to erase national sovereignty and individual freedom."  Many of these international institutions seem to think China epitomizes all that's good about government.  

They're "working to overload and bankrupt the system" with welfare and giving unlimited power to unelected bureaucrats.  The COVID lockdowns, mass spending, and free money to "8 million Canadians with no strings attached....costing 81 billion dollars" had nothing to do with good economics or public health.  It was "about creating permanent dependency......on government support", and more government control of every day lives.”  Sound familiar?

What's wrong with Canada?  After decades of  having leftist propaganda inculcated into their minds and their government's disastrous philosophical views and policy decisions......Just about everything.  A road America may well follow, having the privilege of living and working in a "worker's paradise", where unhappiness will not be tolerated.  You can have nothing, and you can starve, but you will be happy about it... or else!

Here's what's mind boggling.  After 237 years of economic, social and moral failure you'd think there couldn't possibly be a need to debate the value of socialism.   But knowledge, history, reality and deductive reasoning are the enemies of socialism. That was why starting in the late 19th century socialists infiltrated and slowly captured the system of education in the entirety of western civilization.   To prevent thinking impure thoughts, and that includes any refusing to publishing any written work from conservative writers.

Update, 8/11/26:   

1. After CCP Spy Fiasco, US Should Reconsider Sharing Intel With Canada - Until Canada demonstrates it can protect shared allied secrets, partners — especially the United States — should reasonably limit what they share. In late July, a Canadian woman of Chinese descent was arrested in Belgium on serious charges of espionage for China while serving as an intern with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Canadian media have identified the woman as Biwei Zhang, also known professionally as Claire Zhang or Catina Zhang........

It is concerning because Canada is a member of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, a longstanding partnership that also includes Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The alliance shares some of the world’s most sensitive intelligence, particularly signals intelligence (SIGINT), as well as information on foreign interference, cyber threats, espionage, and military developments. 

China is one of the primary targets of this collective effort. As Canada deepens economic and diplomatic ties with Beijing, despite clear evidence of screening failures and a pattern of prioritizing commercial interests, allies are entitled to ask whether Ottawa can still be trusted with the most sensitive intelligence.

1. With No Opposition, Canada Has Become The Most Radically Progressive Nation In The World —   Many Western nations are careening down a path of radical progressivism, but no nation may be further down the track than America’s neighbor to the north. As liberal policies are taking over Western nations, what makes Canada strikingly more radical is the lack of voices in politics willing to stand in opposition.  Conversion therapy bans are regularly referred to as a “Trojan horse” against religious freedom. Cloaked in tales of preventing shock therapy and abuse—actions which have long been illegal—these bans are passed, placing laws on the books which criminalize the outreach of the Gospel and defense of Biblical sexuality....... Not a single MP took issue that God’s design of sexuality was referred to in the legislation text as a “myth.” Nor did they even venture to examine the threat posed to religious liberty, which was questioned by virtually every other nation to consider such a ban.......
2. What’s the (free speech) deal with Canada? -  Canada is steadily transforming free expression from a right into a privilege — one that regulators, tribunals, and government officials can withdraw whenever they decide another interest matters more..... If you’re in America and smell something burning up north, it’s unfortunately not just the Canadian wildfires. In recent months, our hockey-mad friends have also been torching a number of its free speech protections — beginning with a legal shield that has been part of its law since 1970.......

1.  Canada Shows The Gruesome Side Of Socialized Healthcare  - In Canada, if your doctor refers you to a specialist, you’ll likely have to wait 15 weeks to get an appointment. Then another 13 weeks to get treated. Just getting an MRI will take 4 1/2 months, on average. But if you want to kill yourself? You can get a same-day appointment.  Welcome to the healthcare system that Bernie Sanders and his socialist pals want to import into the U.S........
2.  Canadian Government Making it Perfectly Clear--The Covid Unvaccinated Are Not Worth Saving--Except for Harvesting Their Organs - ‘Sudden and Unexpected’ brought some 5,000 readers of the tragic Garnet Harper story to Canada Free Press (CFP) on July 21, 2026.  CFP doesn’t know who the 5,000 readers are, but God Bless each and every one of them:  Garnet Harper passed away on May 22, 2026, but the story of his tragic death will now live on to save the lives of other Canadians who are being refused life-saving surgery if they happen to be unvaccinated by Pfizer’s mRNA’s still being distributed vaccine--which killed more people than the COVID-19 so-called ‘pandemic’........

1. Canadian Military Chaplains Can’t Mention God in Public -  While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seeks to make US military chaplains more explicitly religious, the Canadian government is heading in the opposite direction as new directives ban chaplains from using religious language at public events. Released on July 29, the instructions noted that members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) making public remarks at any type of public or semi-public event “shall uphold the principle of state religious and spiritual neutrality by not using words, actions, or symbols that are specific to a particular SFT [Spiritual or Faith Tradition] on the part of the Government of Canada.”......

Update 8/24/26:

1.  Did Canada Just Sign Its Own Economic Death Warrant? -  The stakes are much higher than just a little trade war.  Canadian Prime Minister and WEF globalist Mark Carney has been a disaster for Canada since he entered office.  There were many critics who believed the Trudeau regime could not be topped in terms of self destructive behavior, but one could easily argue that Carney is far more dangerous and far more devious.  This week the Canadian government abandoned a nearly finalized trade deal with the US in the final hour of talks, leaving many analysts (and Canadians) bewildered.  According to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and related reports on the negotiations, the U.S. offered significant tariff reductions that would have given Canada preferential treatment relative to other major exporters......Remember, Mark Carney kisses the king’s ring. So what’s a billion given here when trillions are at stake?  The Arctic is the prize.

Update, /27/26:

1. What’s really going on with Canada - The collapse of the last-minute trade negotiations between the United States and Canada appears to have been a calculated move designed, at least in part, to influence the U.S. electorate in the midterm election.   This recent move only needs to have a temporary effect: making Trump’s tariff policy look bad and, in turn, strengthening the Democrats’ newest message: “affordability.”  The resulting economic pressure on voters from multiple directions — including  spiking gas prices⁠ — could be used to turn public opinion against Trump and the Republican agenda, with the goal of helping Democrats win more seats in the midterm elections and ultimately regain control of Congress.......
2. Shock: Canadian Broadcasting Corp Tells Staff Not to Refer to 9/11 as ‘Terrorist Attack’ - The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) sent a memo to its reporters and editors this week instructing them not to refer to the September 11, 2001, attack on America as a “terrorist attack.   The memo, first reported by an astonished Warren Kinsella at the Toronto Sun, used boldface type to emphasize the directive to CBC employees......Kinsella reached out to CBC to ask for further insights on why “hijackings” that “led to passenger jet crashes” should not be treated as terrorism...... CBC claimed it was following in the footsteps of news organizations that have invented lively euphemisms for terrorists, such as “activists” or “militants.” The CBC guide also seemed to be using a dash of passive voice to whitewash the horror of 9/11, as if those passenger jet crashes were a force of nature, or an unexpected consequence of the crazy hijinks of the hijackers.....
3.  It’s Always Cute When Canada Thinks It Matters - Just what the hell are the Canadians thinking? Do they think that if they cry enough, America’s going to roll over? We’re now in another trade war with them, and the Canadians are whining, and the Democrats — who never side with America — are whining right along with them.  It’s about time to be done with the country that is touted as America’s best buddy but is actually tied for its most annoying next-door neighbor. They cry that America is being mean because it’s looking out for its own interests. How dare America expect Canada to pull its weight on its own defense? How dare America not want to perpetuate unfair and unbalanced tariff and trade rules in perpetuity? And how dare America not recognize the moral superiority of a country that, if it were a stereotype, would be a fugly, sexually dysfunctional wine woman with a “Hate Has No Home Here” sign on the front lawn of the condo it shares with five cats, all named after characters in "Twilight."........

  The CBC goes Piker? Canada is no longer the same country it was on September 11, 2001, and its recent memo about that grim day shows how far Canada has fallen.  What in the world is going on in Canada? Sorry, but this is not the Canada we always associated with hockey and beautiful lakes for fishing. This new version of Canada is hard to understand. Sorry to say it again, but woke is killing the Canadians!  Let’s check this post from Warren Kinsella at The Toronto Sun. He got a memo from the CBC, which is the Canadian version of PBS/NPR, except with more .............“Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks.” Boshra states that all in bold letters, italicized, as if to emphasize the point. To make clear it is a directive, not a suggestion.

• Canada announces new tariffs on over 700 U.S. goods  -  On September 8, Canada is set to enact tariffs ranging from 15% to 50% on over 700 American goods in an effort to match US tariffs dollar for dollar, Canadian officials announced on Tuesday. Notably, Canada is doubling its duties on US steel and aluminum to 50%, in line with the 50% tariffs the US had already imposed on Canadian steel and aluminum before the latest round of US tariffs. Canadian officials framed the move as a means of protecting Canadian manufacturing..........Canadian Industry Minister Mélanie Joly suggested that the levies were selected with upcoming US midterm elections in mind. “We’re also targeting products that will target states in the US. And so we’re being wise and strategic to put political pressure, and that’s why we think it’s the right thing to do right now,” she told reporters on Tuesday...........
• Council on Foreign Relations President Says Trump Gave Mark Carney an Ultimatum, USA or China? Carney Chose China — An interesting soundbite from Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) President Mike Froman who distills down the main point of contention.  Essentially, the U.S. position is to demand a common trade approach toward China and the U.S. delegation gave Canada an ultimatum within the deal proposed, us or them..............
•  The illusion of leverage in Canada-US trade negotiations - Mark Carney chases Canada’s businesses to the U.S., and Trump welcomes them with open arms.  The latest failure in the trade talks between Canada and the United States has revealed a basic mismatch between political rhetoric and economic reality. Although Canadian officials, such as Prime Minister Mark Carney and the country’s trade negotiators, are still expressing confidence and maintaining that Canada has real leverage in arriving at a future agreement, the basic economic situation paints a completely different picture—one which Canadian businesses understand far better than the political leadership responsible for representing them.  The imbalance starts with a simple and inevitable fact: around 75% of Canada’s exports go directly to the United States, whereas only a small part of American exports go north...... Yet the Canadian government acts as if that imbalance does not exist......

Here's the analysis from another news source: 

The US makes up over 30% of total global consumer markets.  The entirety of the EU makes up around 15% of consumer markets and China makes up around 12%.  Together these regions still don’t fill the hole left by the US, and there are numerous expenses attached.

China regularly enforces tariffs on Canada, while shipping goods overseas to Europe or Asia adds price hikes to Canadian goods that would not be an issue in trade with the US.  Meaning, they will sell far less overseas.

Furthermore, Chinese trade deals tend to come with strings attached.  China is seeking economic and resource expansion into Canada, which is ruffling feathers among Canadian companies and citizens.  Beyond that, the CCP often demands influence over government policy within the smaller countries it partners with economically (Canada’s relationship with Taiwan has been a point of contention as the CCP exerts pressure)........

Update, 9/16/26: 

• The Fantasy House of Mark Carney, By Victor Davis Hanson -  Mark Carney’s anti-American crusade risks hurting Canada’s economy while strengthening China and exposing the contradictions behind his trade war with the United States.   Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney now believes he is more than just the Western foil to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement—he is the global one. Accordingly, he seems determined to demonstrate to the world how to stand up to Donald Trump, to force Trump to lose the midterms, and to hurt the U.S. economy to such a degree that Trump will never again bully other nations.........How ironic that Carney attacks his neighbor, the United States, for trade unfairness while warming to the communist dictatorship in China. Communist China, after all, is history’s greatest violator of trade protocols—guilty of manipulating its currency, dumping products to secure market share, violating copyright and patent laws, and imprisoning a million Uyghurs........
• Manufacturers Set To Move Production Out Of Canada As US Tariffs Hit Hard -  The circumstances of US/Canadian trade should be common knowledge by now, but the details often get mired in the swamp of political rhetoric.  When Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney describes the tariff issue as the US "waging war" on Canada, he knows exactly what he's doing.  Carney has turned a simple trade issue over reasonable 10% tariffs into an existential crisis, an invasion, an ethnic cleansing, a last stand against "evil" imperialists........Estimates in July on manufacturing losses indicated that 42% of Canadian companies (and some US companies) would be moving at least a portion of their operations to the US to avoid the debilitating tariffs. .......
• The European Union Just Invited Canada to Become Its First Associate Member  - Canada is turning away from the United States.  Just days after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney floated the idea of a new “associate member” relationship with the European Union, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was more than happy to entertain it. On Wednesday, she said she wants Canada to become the EU’s first associate member, even though Canada is not seeking full membership and no such formal status currently exists under EU law.

The details still have to be worked out, but the direction could not be any clearer. Carney wants Canada more tightly aligned with the European project: its trade rules, industrial strategy, climate agenda, technology policy and increasingly centralized political structure. It is a remarkable choice for a country whose economy, security and geography are typically understood as inseparable from the United States.......

After Bankruptcy Then What?

By Rich Kozlovich

On Friday April 5, 2013 Wynton Hall posted an article titled, “BOOMTOWN 2: Taxpayers Have Spent $15 Trillion on 'War on Poverty'.  He starts out saying:

“.....since President Lyndon Baines Johnson declared “war on poverty,” U.S. taxpayers have spent $15 trillion on so-called anti-poverty programs—a figure slightly less than the national debt.”  

Remember, this article was posted in 2013, and all the figures are based on that year, and in ten years we've gone from 15 trillion in debt to just under 35 trillion dollars in debt, and it's climbing at a rate that's startling, and the leadership in both parties is supporting that insanity.

He notes that in 1969, just 2.8 million Americans received food stamps. Today he notes that over 47 million Americans are on food stamps, and some of the biggest supporters of these programs are big business, which he describes as “crony capitalism”.    And now the “U.S. Census Bureau revealed that nearly 50 million Americans live below the federal poverty line. “

When Johnson was president in 1966 the nation had a population of 196,560,338.  By 1969 there were 2, 700,000 recipients on food stamps, presumably mostly families. Which translates to approximately 1.4% of the population.   Let's suppose we had given every family on food stamps a million dollars and said....that's it....we're done....you're on your own now forever.  What would have happened? 

Presumably we would have ended poverty and we would have saved twelve trillion three hundred billion dollars.  

So then the obvious question is this: Where did all of that money go?  

It certainly didn't go to the poor because we haven't any fewer poor than we did then.   So who has the money?  Fifteen trillion dollars is a lot of darn money!  Surely someone has to have it! Don’t they? You just can't hide fifteen trillion dollars without someone noticing! Can you? Surely someone has to have kept records somewhere!  Didn't they?

Whatever happened to all that money there is one thing that is crystal clear. Government money used to end poverty doesn’t work, and with all these programs, many of which are duplications of programs already in existence, all of which we know are abject failures because in 2013 figures, we have 47 million on food stamps representing 1.5% of the population creating a long line of unending government dependents, and it's growing.    

But there's no money, so, what do we do?  We keep borrowing, and printing, calling it "quantitative easing" and no matter the amount of clabber they're spewing out to redefine this practice, it still means printing money with no value.  And we're told we have to keep doing it to keep these failed programs running in order to prevent people from suffering. 

But I keep asking myself:  What happens when we go bankrupt?

Those who promote this stuff keep saying that we can’t go bankrupt and the banks must keep loaning money and the Fed must keep printing whatever money is necessary.  I wonder if they ever read a history book in their lives.  Do they not grasp that it doesn’t work that way!  Do they not grasp the consequences?

Unfortunately many of them do, and all of this is deliberate.  It’s called the Cloward–Piven strategy.  A socialist power grabbing strategy outlined in 1966 by leftist activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.  The goal was to overload the public welfare systems which would then institute a complete breakdown of the financial systems.  This, they reasoned, would install a system of central planning for income distribution at the national level, ending state and local control over welfare and assuring a national income minimum.  All sounding good, except for one thing.  These things have never worked in all of history.   

Countries that tried this collapsed into anarchy because the money wasn't worth anything.  Inflation destroyed the value of the currency and the entire social structure suffered collapse. In many cases these countries were then taken over by radical central planners (socialists, which include fascists and communists) whose only real skill was murdering 100 million of their own innocent citizens during the twentieth century.  And make no mistake about it; these insane leftists still think the same way. As David Horowitz points out, "Inside Every Progressive Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out". 

Obama’s buddy Bill Ayers, who’s official title within the leftist Weatherman Underground movement was “National Education Secretary”,  participated in the bombings of the New York City Police Dept., the United States Capitol, and the Pentagon.   He also may have taken part in other bombings that killed innocent people.  His views of the bombing of the Pentagon:   

“Although the bomb that rocked the Pentagon was itsy-bitsy - weighing close to two pounds - it caused 'tens of thousands of dollars' of damage. The operation cost under $500, and no one was killed or even hurt.”

The reality of Bill Ayers is far scarier than is currently depicted.  As National Education Secretary of this radical leftist organization his plans after their victory including the creation of “re-education camps” in the American Southwest, and if that wasn’t adequate in re-ordering society then he felt it might be necessary to eliminate as many as 25 million Americans who won’t go along.

We know this is factual due to information provided by Larry Grathwohl, a Weatherman informant, who saw Ayers order the bombing of the Detroit Police Officers Association building, in spite of the fact that customers -  largely black- in the adjacent Red Barn were sure to be killed.  Ayers view was that it might be necessary for some innocent people to get killed in his quest.  After all, he noted that you can't protect everyone. 

This has been the pattern of all socialists.  What makes me wonder about their sanity is that history shows once one of these leftist regimes take over it isn’t long before one person is in complete charge.  And they accomplish that eliminating their competition within the movement.  Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro and all the rest have repeated this pattern.  Are these American promoters of socialism somehow under the impression it would be different with them? 

Unfortunately after the leadership is firmly in the hands of one person the real disaster starts.  They don’t have a clue as to how to run an economy.  As a result agriculture suffers, manufacturing suffers, retail as we know it is eliminated and commodities become scarce, people starve and people die from a lack of proper medical care. 

This brings me back to the thus far unanswered question:  What happens when we go bankrupt?   Answer:  The insane will begin to rule by consent of the ignorant and then millions will die and those who are left will live in dystopia!  That's history, and that history is incontestable.

Has anyone read a history book lately?  If not, I would like to recommend:

• Jonah Goldberg’s, “Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change” 
•  Daniel J. Flynn’s, “Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas”
• David Kupelain’s, “The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom”. 
  

Biden’s Economic Alchemy: $3.5 Trillion = Zero

September 28, 2021 by Dan Mitchell @ International Liberty 

Last week, I wrote about a new study which estimates that Biden’s fiscal agenda of bigger government and higher taxes would reduce economic output by about $3 trillion over the next decade.

Perhaps more relevant, that foregone economic growth would translate into more than $10,000 of lost compensation per job. And a lifetime drop in living standards of more than 4 percent for younger people.  And these numbers are based on research by the Congressional Budget Office, which is hardly a bastion of libertarian analysis.  The Biden White House has a different perspective.

How different? Well, the President actually claims that expanding the burden of government won’t cost anything.  I’m not joking. Here are some excerpts from an article in the Washington Post by Seung Min Kim and Tony Romm.

President Biden promised Friday that his sweeping domestic agenda package will cost “nothing” because Democrats will pay for it through tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations… The remarks were an attempt by Biden to assuage some of the cost concerns pointedly expressed by the moderate Democrats about the size of the legislation… The total spending outlined in the plan is $3.5 trillion… “It is zero price tag on the debt we’re paying. We’re going to pay for everything we spend,” Biden said in remarks from the State Dining Room at the White House.

Biden’s strange analysis has generated some amusing responses.  For instance, Gerard Baker opined in the Wall Street Journal about Biden’s magical approach.

…this is a novel way of estimating the cost of something. That eye-wateringly expensive dinner you had last week didn’t really cost you anything because you paid for it. …You could have used the money to invest in your children’s college fund. You could have paid off some of your credit card bill, the debt on which has quadrupled in the last year. But you chose instead to blow it on a few morsels of raw fish and a couple of bottles of 1982 Château Lafite Rothschild. Don’t worry, It didn’t cost you anything.

Biden and his team definitely deserve to be mocked for their silly argument.

For all intents and purposes, they want us to believe that there’s no downside if you combine anti-growth spending increases with anti-growth tax increases – so long as there’s no increase in red ink.

But there’s actually a fiscal theory that sort of supports what the White House is saying.

• Capital (saving and investment) is a key driver of productivity and long-run growth.
• Budget deficits divert capital from the economy’s productive sector to government.
• Budget deficits raise interest rates, reducing incentives for investment.
• Therefore, budget deficits are bad for prosperity.

For what it’s worth, all four of those statements are correct.

But the theory is nonetheless wrong because it elevates one variable – fiscal balance – while ignoring other variables that have a much bigger impact on economic performance.

For instance, the Congressional Budget Office at one point embraced this approach – even though it led to absurd implications such as growth being maximized with tax rates of 100 percent.

For further background, here’s a table I prepared back in 2012.

The White House today is basically embracing the IMF’s “austerity” argument that deficits/surpluses are the variable that has the biggest impact on growth.

P.S. Folks on the left must get whiplash because some days they embrace the Keynesian argument that deficits are good for growth and other days they argue that a big expansion of government will have zero cost because there is no increase in the deficit.

P.P.S. The folks on the right who focus solely on tax cuts also are guilty of elevating one variable while ignoring others (humorously depicted in this cartoon strip).

The Communist Takeover of the United States?

The floodgates are open. 

Wayne Allyn Root Mar 3, 2021

This is part deux of my series on the communist takeover of the United States. Part one, last week's column, centered on the real new president: Barack Obama. I do believe the new president is, in fact, the old president. This is the third term of Obama.

The first time around, Obama tried his best to destroy America, American exceptionalism, our Judeo-Christian values, our capitalist economic system, our health care system (17.7% of the U.S. economy in 2019) and the great American middle class.

Obama gave it his best shot. He crippled America, but he couldn't quite finish the job. He needed Hillary Clinton to be elected to do that, but we all know how that turned out. Former President Donald Trump managed to bring out the biggest turnout of white middle-class voters in history for the 2016 election. Obama vowed to never let that happen again.

Hence the election of the old, weak, feeble, brain-dead Basement Biden, who's clearly hopelessly lost and confused with dementia. He's fallen, and he can't get up. Obama likes it that way. Joe Biden is Obama's puppet and front guy. Obama can now finish the job and do it under the cover of darkness. He can carry out his plan more ruthlessly than he ever could when he was the first black president and wanted to convince American voters he wasn't "radical" or "extreme." Back then, Obama had to move with caution; he had to boil the frog slowly, as I warned in my 2013 No. 1 national bestseller, "The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide.".........To Read More.....

 

The Battle Lines Have Been Drawn – it’s a Strategy of Cloward-Piven

By Ron Edwards, Columnist, Talk Show Host| August 15th, 2019

Many people walk around believing that leftist media personalities, leftists Democrats, rino Republicans and leftists in the academic fields are not literally seeking to literally destroy the United States. I pray for their ability to grow mentally and face reality. To be honest with you, the variety of efforts to exterminate our republic are so numerous.

 

Though I am tempted to begin with obvious participants in the massive battle against our exceptional republic, it is most fitting to start among the ranks of “We the People.” Sometimes when battle lines are drawn, there are those who shoot themselves in the foot. Or they simply are not an asset either unwittingly or on purpose.

On both sides of the political battle lines, there are those declaring they are fighting for freedom and justice. However, I am compelled to ask, “freedom to do what?”

We may have often times heard or read about the leftists declaring they are fighting for freedom. That concerns me because the leftist pursuit of freedom presents either danger or major inconvenience for others. When thousands of left leaning Muslims decide to kneel on little prayer rugs in the middle of New York City to bump their foreheads, they say that they are free to do so. But the problem is, those Muslims are obstructing the freedom of their more numerous non-Muslim neighbors to freely drive or walk down the street they freely blocked up with their bullying presence...........To Read More....

Democrats Using Cloward-Piven as their Midterm Hail Mary Pass

October 29, 2018 By Brian Joondeph

Cloward-Piven is a political strategy first described in 1966, by two Columbia University sociologists, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. This was published appropriately in the far-left The Nation, the oldest continuously published news magazine in the country.

Cloward-Piven’s goal was the creation of, “A political crisis would result that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty.” The objective was chaos and turmoil, or in their words, “A massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls.”  This would be followed by, “A federal program of income redistribution has become necessary to elevate the poor en masse from poverty.”

The strategy uses community organizers to mobilize welfare recipients. Then, “As the crisis develops, it will be important to use the mass media to inform the broader liberal community about the inefficiencies and injustices of welfare.” It’s more effective when a community organizer is the leader of the country for eight years assisted with a compliant and nonobjective national media. Or as Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”.......... Read more

Guess What: ‘The Cloward-Piven Strategy Working Perfectly — in Europe’

By Jonathon M. Seidl May 7, 2012

If you follow Glenn Beck, you know who Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven are. They are the dynamic teaching duo who championed the revolutionary idea of restarting the U.S. economy by collapsing the system and remaking it into one more favorable to the unions and socialist ideals. And that’s done by getting as many people on public assistance as possible.

Now, intrepid blogger Zombie is out with a new piece detailing how that “Cloward-Piven“ strategy is ”working perfectly” across the pond.

Zombie points to the weekend’s big news from Europe: the French elected an avowed Socialist, and the Greeks sent a strong signal by voting against the parties that supported austerity (even the Socialists) and then voted in droves for a “neo-Nazi” group. (Business Insider put that in perspective with the following headline: “16% of the New Greek Parliament Is Communists and Nazis.”)
 
“The message is clear,” writes Zombie. “Once enough voters are on the dole, regardless of your party’s ideology or what label it has, you will win elections if you promise to keep the free money flowing. This was Cloward-Piven’s point, and they turned out to be frighteningly correct.”…… You can read the rest of the intriguing post here (which includes the line, “Will the revolution spread to America?”).  ..............
