Welfare Work Requirements Make Everyone Better Off

The Congressional Budget Office has just released its latest projection for the next ten years.
"In the agency's updated projections, annual deficits nearly double over the next decade, reaching $2.7 trillion in 2033 ... As a result of those deficits, debt held by the public also increases in CBO's projections, from 98% of GDP at the end of this year to 119% at the end of 2033."
The picture keeps getting worse.
The difference between Democrats and Republicans on the issue: Republicans say let's do something; Democrats say let's do nothing.
How To Honor Our Officers During National Police Week

I was proud and moved to participate in opening ceremonies, at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., commemorating National Police Week.
President John F. Kennedy signed the proclamation, in 1962, designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day, and establishing the week in which this occurs as National Police Week.
It seems another strange and discomforting irony that the president who moved to establish a national day and week to memorialize police officers who have fallen in the line of duty is a president who himself was murdered.
Why Doesn't Drowning in Debt Bother Biden?
- Details
- By Star Parker
The most perplexing thing about President Joe Biden's stance on the debt ceiling issue is that the staggering national debt does not seem to bother him.
In remarks Biden made the other day, he noted that the national debt has "accumulated over 200 years." And he also noted the debt increased under President Donald Trump.
But the president's selective memory chooses to overlook that when the Obama-Biden administration took office in 2009, national debt stood at 60% of GDP. When they left eight years later, it was at 100% of GDP.
A History Lesson for 2024

President Joe Biden has made his bid for a second term official, and the first big news following the announcement is his latest approval rating released by Gallup. It shows Biden's approval reaching a new low in his presidency -- 37%.
But let's take a quick look at history before Republicans start celebrating.
Gallup shows Biden's approval rating average for the latest quarter of his presidency, his ninth, at 39.7%. Gallup also shows where each president post-World War II stood in approval at the same time in their presidency.
Biden Sleeps Tight While Nation Drowns in Debt

Hillary Clinton writes in The New York Times that Republican insistence to link any increase in the nation's debt ceiling to spending control and cuts threatens our national security.
"It's a sad irony that Mr. McCarthy and many of the same congressional Republicans seemingly intent on sabotaging America's global leadership by refusing to pay our debts are also positioning themselves as tougher-than-thou China hawks."
Tim Scott and American Exceptionalism
- Details
- By Star Parker
Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the formation of an exploratory committee for his candidacy for president.
You may have noticed that Scott is Black. We may ask, in this woke age of ours, the extent to which this matters in his candidacy.
I think it does matter, which requires some explanation given that I am adamantly opposed to identity politics in all its shapes and forms.
Should Scott run and win, he will not be America's first Black president. When America's first Black president, Barack Obama, did run and win, it was widely viewed as a turning point in American history.
The Source of Our Freedom Is Our Creator, Not Government

It is a unique and special time now because Christians, Jews and Muslims all are engaged in major holidays of religious contemplation and renewal. Christians with Holy Week and Easter, Jews with Passover, and Muslims with Ramadan.
We're talking billions around the world. So, although in our time there has been a retreat in various circles from religion, it still remains a major force and presence in our world.
In our own USA, as I have touched on in columns past, the number identifying with religion and attending religious services has dropped.
