Miller also points out that, unfortunately, MS's economy moved from rapid, robust growth from 2023 and 2024 into much weaker, more stagnant growth in 2025 and 2026. xitter.cf/alldspeed/status/20408…

BYRON BROWN: What is the state of the economy here in Mississippi? COREY MILLER: We were doing fantastic in 2023 and 2024. We did the best we've done since the '90s back then! We slowed down in 2025, but the years before 2025 were phenomenal years for Mississippi's economy.

Today's announcement is a great illustration of Mississippi state economist Corey Miller's observation that MS's economic growth in the past several years has been fueled by infrastructure investments in Mississippi. xitter.cf/alldspeed/status/20408…

First responders are upset that #MSleg Republicans gutted the retirement system. wlox.com/2025/11/16/mississi…
MS Democratic Party@msdemocrats14 Aug 2025
Mississippi Republicans quietly gutted public worker retirement with House Bill 1. 🚨 Tier 5: – No unused leave credit – No COLA guarantee – No buyback of prior service – 35 yrs to retire If you’ve ever worked under PERS: don’t cash out unless you’re sure you won’t return.

A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich. cbsnews.com/news/tax-cuts-ri…

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says

Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.
