US News: Teachers, Tariffs and Immigration
Government shutdown averted, but at what cost for the Democratic party ? Is the new generation of Democrats so ideological that it raises the question of renaming them "Dementor-crats," taking ideology to defy any logic . Their hatred for Elon Musk and Trump runs so deep that they end up contradicting themselves. There is no question that the budget deficit now requires immediate action —not more taxes that suppress overall spending, but policies that fuel economic growth and increase tax revenue.
Immigration : With border crossings at near-zero levels , we now have an opportunity to implement a merit-based immigration system to attract the skilled labor needed to support reshoring efforts. While it may not reduce the overall number of immigrants, it would shift budgets—moving from dependency to immediate economic contribution. The skilled labor gap is a documented reality —there is no denying it.
The Teachers Union continues to claim it's helping everyone, yet it’s failing to educate children. Anger over budget cuts distracts from years of waste, and most states arguably perform better. The U.S. education system is currently ranked #31 globally , yet—like many Democrats—the union blames everyone else for its failures. Despite ranking #1 in per-pupil spending , the system cannot deliver the diversity and choice families want. So, who are we listening to—parents or unions ?
The left’s hysteria and the moralist justification of a “better world” have become the Democrats’ response to Donald Trump. There is no debate—just ideological warfare, with opponents labeled as criminals. Are there too many litigation lawyers like Jamie Raskin in government, or ideological foot soldiers like Maxine Waters and AOC? Ultimately, voters decide—or is it the ideological elite’s money machine that pulls the strings toward a one-party state? Will we see another “Summer of Love” (see 2019) and morality war ? “Moralistocrats”—a word you won’t find in any dictionary.
If politics cannot divide a country, try tariffs . Is it a trade war or just leveling the playing field ? Opinions split along party lines as globalist thinkers rally to align the world against Trump . Could this be another attack on democracy—driving Americans into recession with help from the Canadians and European elite , propping up failing economies? Maybe it’s time to return to the GATT agreement and move on from the WTO.
A tariff is a tax imposed by one country on the goods and services imported from another country to influence it, raise revenues, or protect competitive advantages . Governments impose tariffs to raise revenue, protect domestic industries, or exert political leverage over another country.
