A recent poll shows what DOGE is up against and why it must succeed.
Gallup found that among 15 government agencies, the U.S. Postal Service is the only one with majority support. Yet, USPS is a poster child of financial failure and inefficiency, thanks to its government monopoly and subsidy. It is also a microcosm of what DOGE faces and what the left will do with government if allowed.
According to Gallup, “the Postal Service has been the most high...

Fiscal concerns should not hold up tax cuts
When Republican lawmakers check in with the small businesses in their districts during the Christmas recess, they will likely hear one overriding message: Pass tax cuts now. According to Job Creators Network's new national poll, small businesses support extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which took effect in 2018 and expires next year, by a 5-to-1 margin.

A new report released by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that if the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) extended subsidies are allowed to expire at the end of 2025, millions of people will become uninsured and premiums will rise.

Larry Kudlow says the CBO is always wrong, but he regularly cited their numbers
Weeks into his tenure as Donald Trump’s director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, former CNBC host Larry Kudlow dismissed estimates by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that the tax cuts and spending bills Trump signed will swell the budget deficit. In a Fox News interview on Tuesday, he claimed that the office’s analyses are “always wrong.”
“Never believe the CBO,” Kudlow told Fox & Friends. “Very important....
