In 2014 (the first year of Obamacare’s key provisions), individual market premiums jumped nearly 50%. Since then, premiums for ACA benchmark plans have increased 129% for the typical enrollee. That’s: ➡️ Nearly 2x employer plan premium growth (68%) ➡️ Over 3x CPI growth (39%)

It seems obvious to me, and I could be wrong, that there are important free market/libertarian solutions on housing, health care, and Social Security--but the right will never take these solutions seriously if we keep mass migration and breathless anti-Trumpism as shibboleths.

This one simple graph debunks the entirety of the mainstream DNC’s talking points about taxation and the federal government’s budget.

As percent of GDP, federal receipts are pretty stable over time. Federal expenditures increased

California State and local governments owe more than $1 trillion, and they'll have to get that money by taxing us and future Californians. Unlike the feds, California governments can't print money.

The #1 news story in Florida remains that the FLGOP are actively in the middle of defunding Florida public schools. They aren’t even hiding it at this point. The fight isn’t over though. Allowing charters into high-performing public schools is going to be extremely unpopular.
