@jdcmedlock For an alternative approach, see "Tax and Welfare Reform" by Morgan Kauffman. It's a comprehensive pro-growth plan including UBI, VAT, universal health & childcare, a "UBI for local gov," and much more (with a nearly balanced budget):

Trump is paying a foreign company nearly $1 BILLION of YOUR money to stop building wind farms in America that would have lowered your electricity bills.

He lost in court FIVE times trying to kill these projects that would have powered over a million homes. So he decided to buy his way out of it instead.

Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive.

Dear media:

I hope you know, when pedophile protectors like trump and Karoline Leavitt say they're "moving on" from the Epstein files, that means you should be even MORE persistent in asking questions about it.

NON STOP.
EVERY FUCKING DAY.

“Let's start with the most important. What does Ukraine want? Peace? Yes. At any cost? No. We want the war to end, - but not Ukraine. Are we tired? Very much so. Does this mean we're ready to surrender? Anyone who thinks that is deeply mistaken. They clearly still don't understand who Ukrainians are after all these years. A people enduring 1,407 days of full-scale war. Just consider those numbers. That's longer than Nazi occupation of many cities in World War II. 1,407 days of undefeated Ukraine, spending nights in shelters, fighting daily, often without electricity or sleep, many days at the frontlines. But always without panic, chaos, or division - united for peace. Do we want the war to end? Absolutely. Why hasn't this happened yet? The answer lies with our neighbor. Can Russia end the war? Yes. Do they want to? No.” - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his New Year’s address, Wed, Dec 31, 2025
