Both chambers of Congress are locked in fierce battles over spending legislation. A “supplemental” package has found bipartisan support in the Senate after the removal of flawed border and immigration provisions. However‚ its $95 billion price tag—$60 billion of which would go to Ukraine—means there will be stiff resistance in the House. Meanwhile‚ Congress is also working on regular spending bills (known as appropriations) that fund national defense and federal agencies. The most recent deal funds part of the federal government through March 1 and the rest through March 8. It remains to be seen whether these bills will be honest—or loaded with gimmicks‚ such as phony “emergency” spending in an attempt to trick the public about what’s going on. The spending bills aren’t happening in isolation. Decades of budget gimmicks‚ spending sprees and handouts to far left institutions have put America in an unsustainable position as these new charts show. While the federal government has a sorry track record of running deficits most of the time‚ the size of the gap is also important. When deficits get too high‚ as happened during the COVID-19 pandemic‚ it adds to inflationary pressures on the economy. If current trends continue‚ driven by the growth of spending as a share of the economy‚ deficits will balloon even in years without a recession or a major war. The first-ever $1 trillion deficit happened in fiscal year 2009 and helped fuel the tea party movement in response. Incredibly‚ not only are $1 trillion deficits now standard operation procedure‚ but the federal government is set to crack $2 trillion deficits every year as soon as 2031—even sooner if any new legislation expands the swamp. Years of hefty deficits have added to the national debt. Relative to the size of the economy‚ the public national debt is now nearly as large as it was during World War II. However‚ there’s a vital difference between then and now: Once the war was over and civilization was saved‚ federal spending came down and the debt receded. In contrast‚ most current federal spending is for categories where Uncle Sam has made firm commitments in the future‚ such as Social Security‚ Medicare and interest on the debt. In turn‚ these categories represent the vast majority of expected spending growth‚ which is what drives long-term debt and deficits. Both the Social Security and Medicare trust funds are on pace to go bust within the next decade‚ a reality that most of Washington would rather not talk about. While there are ways to save money on the programs that would retain the core safety-net aspect for seniors‚ addressing these imbalances will require political courage. While the growth of the national debt is an important factor behind the recent rise of interest payments‚ the spike in interest rates is especially concerning. Incredibly‚ the Congressional Budget Office revealed that the federal government will likely spend more on interest payments in 2024 than on national defense. And if debt and deficits continue to grow out of control‚ that will remain the case. Interest payments don’t help protect the nation or fund public investments. Instead‚ they represent the bill coming due on big-government spending from the past. If Congress remains asleep at the wheel‚ rising interest costs will continue to snowball and threaten the fundamentals of the entire economy. Legislators will have important opportunities over the next few weeks to start the process of tapping the brakes on deficits. That means: Saying “no” to new deficit spending‚ which includes balancing any potential increases in one area with real cuts somewhere else. Getting rid of earmark boondoggles that waste taxpayer money on political cronies and white elephant projects. Cutting subsidies for unnecessary government operations‚ especially those captured by activists. With Washington’s culture used to easy money‚ going the other direction will not be easy. However‚ it is absolutely necessary for America’s fiscal health and prosperity. Have an opinion about this article?

The Higher Education Act‚ signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson‚ profoundly influences almost every facet of higher education in America. Today‚ this law governs federal student aid‚ including all loans and grants and work-study. It defines what constitutes an academic year and “gainful employment.” And it authorizes numerous other federal programs that send taxpayer money to colleges and universities. Critically‚ the Higher Education Act cemented federally approved accrediting agencies as gatekeepers to student financial aid‚ establishing a troubled marriage between accreditors and Congress.  Conservatives have called for reforms to the Higher Education Act since 2014‚ the last time it was due for reauthorization. In January‚ Rep. Virginia Foxx‚ R-N.C.‚ chairwoman of the House Education and Workforce Committee‚ introduced HR 6951‚ legislation to reauthorize the Higher Education Act. Later in the month‚ her committee voted to advance the bill‚ called the College Cost Reduction Act‚ a first step in getting consideration on the House floor. Many of the policies included in the bill are a step in the right direction because they would reduce federal subsidies and increase accountability for taxpayers. Five key policies would:   1. Eliminate PLUS Loan Programs. The proposal would discontinue the Grad PLUS and Parent PLUS loan programs‚ which permit borrowers (either graduate students or the parents of undergraduates) to borrow practically unlimited sums from federal coffers. As currently operated‚ the PLUS loan programs enable students or their parents to borrow up to the entire cost of attending university from the federal government‚ which is a considerable driver of tuition inflation. Evidence indicates that nearly unrestricted access to federal student aid is associated with an increase in tuition costs. Eliminating the PLUS programs would bring down college costs and reduce dependence on federal student aid programs to finance higher education. 2. Establish Risk-Sharing Requirements for Public Universities. This change would mean that schools have some skin in the game and would be held accountable for the quality of the product they produce. If student loans remain unpaid‚ colleges would be on the hook for a portion of student loan defaults‚ shifting the burden of defaults from the taxpayer to the university.  Under Foxx’s proposal‚ universities would be responsible for annually reimbursing the government for a portion of unpaid interest and principal on loans tied to their former students. The repayment would be determined by the average total program cost and the earnings of graduates or the institution’s completion rate for nongraduates.   3. Repeal Harmful Regulations Imposed by the Biden Administration. The College Cost Reduction Act would rightly rescind two rules that unfairly target the for-profit sector: the Obama-era gainful employment rule and the 90/10 rule. The gainful employment rule requires graduates of for-profit colleges to achieve government-defined debt-to-earnings income ratios. The 90/10 rule stipulates that federal funding cannot exceed 90% of an institution’s total revenue. The 90/10 rule wrongly applies only to the for-profit sector. A 2013 report found that if the rule were applied to all higher education institutions‚ “80%  of public two-year colleges would fail the test‚ as would 40% of public four-year colleges.” 4. Limit Bureaucratic Authority. The bill would prevent the nation’s secretary of education from establishing new student loan repayment plans or altering existing ones in a way that raises costs for taxpayers. The legislation also would mandate that the secretary verify that any new regulations or executive actions concerning the student loan program would not raise costs for the federal government. It also would prohibit the issuance of any regulations that fail to meet this cost threshold. 5. Provide Much-Needed Accreditation Reform. Under the Higher Education Act the federal government has dictated to accreditors their role as gatekeepers for all federal student loan and grant programs established in Title IV. Initially started as a voluntary system‚ accreditation of higher education institutions evolved into a mandatory practice under the Higher Education Act. Accreditors often overstepped their authority. As researchers at the Texas Public Policy Foundation found‚ they interfered “with legitimate governance of public colleges in conservative states and demand[ed] racial preferences in admissions.” Accreditation today also has proven to be an inadequate measure of program quality and student outcomes. It hinders innovative‚ low-cost alternatives to the traditional four-year college model from gaining traction. *** The proposed College Cost Reduction Act would create a new marketplace for accreditation by granting states the flexibility to designate accreditors tailored to specific industries. It would offer a pathway for new accreditors and require all accreditors to establish outcome standards for student achievement. The bill also would forbid accreditors from mandating that institutions and programs meet any litmus tests‚ such as adherence to diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion standards‚ as a prerequisite for accreditation. Some areas for policy improvement remain‚ namely this bill would retain time-based student loan cancellation as part of the existing Income-Driven Repayment program. Overall‚ however‚ the policies proposed in the College Cost Reduction Act include vital reforms for higher education‚ addressing many concerns about its value and affordability.   Have an opinion about this article?

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The George W. Bush Institute has joined in the push to cement and expand various forms of speech control and censorship on legacy media as this election year unfolds. Among those mentioned in a positive way in a piece authored by the institute’s Senior Editorial Advisor William McKenzie is the controversial former head of the former Disinformation Governance Board‚ Nina Jankowicz. McKenzie organized his thoughts about “disinformation” and “misinformation” in a year of elections into five points‚ and says that these concepts and ideas originate from news‚ webinars‚ and interviews. Given the dramatic importance it is being assigned to (mostly as justification for imposing free speech restrictions)‚ you’d think misinformation is a new phenomenon. And‚ the incessant parroting that “4 billion people” in dozens and dozens of countries will go to the polling stations this year makes it seem that even the holding of elections is a new and curious phenomenon‚ or at least‚ that they hardly ever before coincided in different countries. Brookings Institution’s Darrell M. West is quoted in the post‚ promoting that narrative by warning of “a perfect storm of disinformation” because many elections will be held around the world. Another “deep disinformation thinker” and no doubt‚ “expert‚” is cited by McKenzie – it’s Nina Jankowicz. Despite the disastrous attempt to make her the face of the rapidly disbanded Disinformation Governance Board‚ Jankowicz is still held in high esteem among mostly the current administration’s supporters in the media and elsewhere. And even despite her now trying to make dystopian concepts like “pre-bunking” happen. It is‚ quite literally as far as proponents of this are concerned‚ the media reporting “ahead of time how lies may be coming our way.” And what if they are not coming our way‚ but we’re in fact dealing with simply information that somebody‚ for political profit‚ decided to brand as “disinformation?” That point doesn’t seem to have been addressed as Jankowicz spoke at a webinar held at Germany’s New York Consulate. “Pre-bunking‚” fear-mongering‚ and singling out non-English speakers (like Latinos in Texas) for targeted “fact-checking” – in other words‚ filtering information available to them – is what these days passes off as “media literacy‚” if the likes of McKenzie are to be believed.

Consumer prices jumped hotter-than-expected‚ and leftist media outlets were predictably fumbling over themselves trying to spin the bad news in any which way they could to protect the floundering Biden economy. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation report showed that consumer prices spiked 3.1 percent year-over year‚ with a 0.3 percent increase month-over-month‚ both exceeding expectations. CBS News even conceded the new hot numbers “complicat[ed]” the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates. The outlet also noted that higher prices “remain sticky.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average also tumbled over 400 points following the news. But that didn’t stop outlets like CNN from trying to flip the script as if their readers were too stupid to see right through the manufactured haze. “Good news for Americans: Inflation cooled back down in January‚” read CNN’s twisted headline. CNN’s ridiculous tweet of its story was just as bad: “US inflation cooled down in January‚ offering some relief for Americans who have suffered through the steepest price hikes in four decades.” Saying “Inflation cooled less than expected” is a completely backward way of describing a hot inflation report. [Emphasis added.] CNN and others in the media who followed this logic should know that too much spin makes people dizzy. CNN must have realized the stupidity of its original headline for its story‚ because it was stealth-edited later. Arguing that hotter-than-expected inflation simultaneously means prices “cool[ed]” is the epitome of an oxymoron‚ but don’t expect Biden’s media lackeys to be logically consistent. As MRC Business Vice President Dan Schneider concluded in a statement: “‘Hell is not as hot as we thought it was going to be.’ That’s the typical response we get from Biden’s fawning media. They just can’t help themselves. They stopped being journalists a long time ago.” US inflation cooled down in January‚ offering some relief for Americans who have suffered through the steepest price hikes in four decades https://t.co/stXY7HZUSW — CNN Breaking News (@cnnbrk) February 13‚ 2024 ABC News tried to have its cake and eat it too in its headline on the new numbers. “Inflation fell markedly in January but still higher than expected‚ latest data shows.” At least one of the outlet’s affiliated publications seems to have also gotten its orders from the mothership. ABC News affiliate KOMO News’ reporting in its headline fell along similar lines: “Inflation remains stubborn‚ falling slower than expected.” [Emphasis added.] The New York Times‚ to its credit‚ was straight forward in its headline: “January Inflation Report: Prices Are More Stubborn Than Expected.” However‚ the outlet quickly did a 180-degree turnaround and tried to spin the story using the same absurd logic employed by CNN in its lede paragraph: “Inflation cooled less than expected in January and showed worrying staying power after stripping out volatile food and fuel costs — a reminder that bringing price increases under control remains a bumpy process.” [Emphasis added.] The Times’s competitor‚ The Washington Post‚ tried a different strategy. First‚ the outlet embedded the spin in its headline: “Inflation eased in January‚ but not as much as expected.” Secondly‚ the outlet decided to bury the straightforward news in its sub-headline‚ giving a completely different picture than what was implied in the headline: “[Inflation] came in slightly hotter than analysts expected‚ causing the markets to flash red. The Fed is contemplating when to cut interest rates.” [Emphasis added.] The Associated Press also took a shot at putting lipstick on the Bidenomics pig‚ emphasizing the ludicrousness of making the hot inflation report anything more than the bad news that it was: “US inflation slows but remains elevated in sign that price pressures are easing only gradually.” Of course‚ nowhere in its report did the AP concede that the numbers were hotter than expected. “Consumer inflation in the United States cooled last month yet remained elevated in the latest sign that the pandemic-fueled price surge is only gradually and fitfully coming under control‚” read AP’s gaslighting. [Emphasis added.] Not to be outdone‚ NBC News was adamant in its clownish headline that “[p]rice growth continued to cool in January‚ but not as much as hoped for.” The outlet attempted to sugarcoat the numbers by giving the false impression that consumers are just fine with the higher prices in its sub-headline: “Still‚ consumers appear to be adjusting to a new normal of higher prices‚ including for fast food and other goods and services.” Good grief. Yahoo! Finance took it a step further and utilized the CNN logic to infect how it reported on the stock market tumbling after the bad BLS numbers were released: “Stock market today: US stocks fall after inflation cools less than anticipated.” Yeah sure‚ the reason stocks dipped was because inflation cooled‚ not because it was “hot‚” right Yahoo! Finance? Make it stop.  Conservatives are under attack.
