Keynesian economists perform elaborate mathematical gymnastics to "prove" that $1 of government spending magically becomes $1.50 of economic growth. This fiscal multiplier fairy tale ignores what Bastiat called the "unseen" - the productive investments that never happen because resources were seized by bureaucrats first. Every bridge to nowhere represents a thousand private innovations strangled in their cribs. The seen stimulus creates jobs for government contractors and ribbon-cutting ceremonies for politicians. The unseen is the cancer research, the small businesses, the breakthrough technologies that die stillborn because capital was diverted to political pet projects. Modern economies don't multiply wealth through redistribution any more than you create water by moving it between buckets.
@elonmusk, What’s Tesla’s timeline for solid state batteries? A nine minute charge time would be a game changer with a range of 750 miles.

@RobertPicardo@GOP It’s more complex than that. There’s a clean CR bill that could reopen the gov’t right now. The real issue isn’t money, it’s politics.
Healthcare is propped up by subsidies that make billiondollar industries richer on the backs of workers.
Open the gov’t, then debate policy 🇺🇸
@facebook Dear Facebook Support,
My profile has been disabled for no valid reason, and I can’t even access the appeal process in the Help Center… This has been extremely disappointing, and I need help resolving it immediately. Please review my account and reactivate it.
@ADScomics_@miracleonj@facebook Yes, super frustrating. I’m pretty apolitical and don’t have any offensive content. Super confused why my account was singled out.
