The Screw You Act

Listening to and reading the news reporting pertaining to what Democrats dubbed the “Inflation Reduction Act”, is about as intellectually insulting and painful as listening to economists and related politicos trying to tell us that we’re not in a recession. Here’s a quick question for you. Did last year’s huge Democrat spending plan called The American Rescue Plan Act, rescue America? You know the plan which invented $1.9 trillion dollars out of thin air, watering down the value of the dollar in your pocket, and handed out like it was free, though it must be paid back with interest. Did that Act rescue us or...did it quite literally create the crippling 41-year high inflation rate resulting in the average American being 4% worse off than a year ago net of inflation? Yet the news media dutifully reported it as The American Rescue Plan Act, did they not? Compare that to the coverage of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation. That was the name of the legislation. And did it include actual parental rights in education? Yes, it did. Yet what was it called, and for that matter is still called when referenced? “Don’t Say Gay”. Now, was there anything in the legislation which prohibited anyone from saying gay? Of course not. And the point is this. Both political parties are inclined to engage in marketing ploys with the names and characterizations of legislation – the left and their allies in almost all of news media is relentlessly dishonest in their reporting of it.
