Talk about a ludicrous advertising pitch! Speaking of the record-breaking tax-and-spend package currently being pushed through Congress, President Joe Biden last Friday said, “It is zero price tag on the debt. We’re going to pay for everything we spend.” This is flatly wrong, and it isn’t even close. While we don’t yet have a full accounting of the 2,465-page behemoth, it’s […]

There’s one piece of the $3.5 trillion spending bill that the media is unlikely to tell you about—their bailout.
