I would agree with you, but then we would both be wrong

Ron DeSantis: "Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

I'm ready for a real adult conversation about both sides of the fiscal equation. Revenue and expenses. The problem is neither party will admit that spending cuts only or tax increases only will fix the problem . Spoiler alert.. they won't!
The national debt now costs $362,000 per taxpayer. The way to address this crisis is with the Six Penny Plan. Make even, across-the-board cuts, and we will balance the budget in 5 years. It’s that simple.

Democrats plan to “tackle” affordability, but they will not address the reason — massive borrowing, printing and spending — we have had and continue to have inflation in the first place. If anything, they will add gas to the fire like Biden did.

A Congressional stock trading ban should be supported by 100% of elected officials.
Knock out the ban on congressional stock trading in the lame duck session. Better to be late in doing the right thing than refuse to do the right thing. Make sure it applies to the executive branch as well.

🚨 WOW. Gov. Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF right now post-blue tsunami: "I see the ad, 'so and so voted against releasing the Epstein Files.' I'm like, that's a bad vote. We ran as Republicans saying we need to do that. And you have people in Congress voting against release when the Attorney General said she had all the all this horrific stuff on her desk and that people are gonna be held accountable?!" "It's untenable when you have people going in trading stocks! I've never traded stocks since I've been in elected office. How do you have no investment acumen, and then all of a sudden get elected to Congress, and then you're outperforming Warren Buffett?" "I saw how they were running and it was a rejection of what was going on in DC." I am SO thankful Florida held the line. We avoided some of the MOST horrendous US House wipeouts (still losing some) and our statewide remained red. The legislature is still red 2028 is our only next chance to make a dent in this.

I don't like the Brewers, but this can screams "Taste Greatness"!
Here’s to the @brewers from our brewers. Introducing the Miller Lite Clinch Cans, filled with the very beer that was being made in Milwaukee the exact moment the team won it all.

Washington doesn't have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. Over the last decade: Tax revenue: +65% Government spending: +92% The two parties fight over where the money should go, but they agree on one thing: spending beyond their means.

I wrote an op-ed. States are boosting high school graduation rates by lowering the standards required to earn a diploma, with serious unintended consequences. Credentials only have value if they signify real knowledge and skills. the74million.org/article/lie…

Every other DC Trade Association is posting rather wordy statements about the American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 - otherwise known as the Permitting Bill to you and me. We here at USOGA value your time so here's our official statement. "Pass the frickin' bill so we can start building things again."
