MMA TRUMP MANTRA ECON NEVER BETTER EVER; FOX BRIEFLY HONEST ON JOB #?
Fox argues the Trump economy is “booming” as many indicators show otherwise
Trump has overseen multiple months of job losses, slower economic growth, and higher inflation while also kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance and food assistance
Written by Zachary Pleat
Published 08/11/26
Many on Fox News and Fox Business are arguing that the economy under President Donald Trump is “booming” and “going gangbusters,” even though many months of the Trump administration have included job losses, inflation remains elevated, wages are stagnant, and economic growth remains below the second half of the Biden administration. Fox is also pushing for Republicans to run on the economy during the upcoming midterm elections, even though many policies supported by Trump and other Republicans are making food, healthcare, prescription drugs, and other necessities more expensive or harder to access.
Fox argues that the Trump economy is strong, urges Republicans to message on “how good this economy is”
- Fox anchor Sandra Smith: “You have to put into context of this economy, where some of the statistics, the numbers, and gosh, the stock market today hitting record high, Dow, S&P. Oil prices are plunging, I mean we’re back to $74. There's reason to think things are working. The jobs market remains strong, wages are up.” Smith added: “But yet, these polling continues to show that people aren’t really feeling it.” [Fox News, America Reports, 8/4/26]
- Fox anchor John Roberts: “If you’re talking the economy, it’s going gangbusters today.” Fox White House correspondent Peter Doocy agreed, “It is.” [Fox News, America Reports, 8/4/26]
- Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo: “Throughout all these campaigns, one thing that Democrats keep missing is the strength of this economy.” Guest Adam Johnson agreed, saying, “Republicans need to be more proactive about talking, about demonstrating and citing data on how good this economy is.” To make her point, Bartiromo began talking about “corporate numbers after corporate numbers” being “stronger than expected.” [Fox Business, Mornings with Maria, 8/5/26]
- Fox Business host and former Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow: “We’re in a booming economy, all cylinders … are roaring.” [Fox Business, Kudlow, 8/5/26]
- Fox Business anchor Cheryl Casone: In his Nevada speech, Trump “focused on … healthcare” and “prescription drug prices, the administration going to lower those things.” During the segment, Bartiromo also highlighted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promising 3% or higher economic growth in the second half of the year and saying “we can start coming back toward the Fed’s target level” of 2% inflation. [Fox Business, Mornings with Maria, 8/6/26]
- A Fox Business panel celebrated the July jobs report showing a loss of 23,000 jobs and a downward revision of 103,000 fewer jobs in previous months as “great news.” Later in the show, guest and former Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore also said: “I would view this as not a bad report.” [Fox Business, Mornings with Maria, 8/7/26, 8/7/26]
- Casone: Republicans “have a story” about “all the things that are going so well for the U.S. economy” under Trump’s policies, and Republicans should “hammer home and get that message out there that these policies … is what is helping them and helping their pocketbooks.” She added: “It’s affordability.” [Fox Business, The Bottom Line, 8/7/26]
- Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy: “The economy and the fundamentals of it were very strong just before this war. You wrap up this war, you get this economy going on full cylinder in the next couple months … you will win the midterms.” In fact, 156,000 jobs were lost in February prior to Trump launching his war on Iran at the end of that month. [Fox News, Fox & Friends Weekend, 8/8/26; Bureau of Labor Statistics, 5/8/26]
- After Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Griff Jenkins mentioned Trump “constantly talking about record markets” and “rising wages,” yet Democrats talk about “how horrible the economy is,” Bartiromo replied: “That’s just propaganda. I mean, look — things are going well and I think we all feel it, right, Griff?” Bartiromo continued: “I mean, look at where we are right now — you’ve got job creation, you’ve got economic growth.” [Fox News, Fox & Friends Weekend, 8/9/26]
Yet multiple economic indicators during the second Trump administration have been poor
- Inflation, which was on track to drop to 2% at the beginning of Trump’s second term, has instead re-accelerated and remains elevated following Trump’s imposition of universal tariffs in April 2025, and his war against Iran at the end of February 2026.

Column: Britain's prime minister followed the GOP's economic plan. She lost her job in record time.

Oct. 24, 2022
Fox Business talking head Larry Kudlow was over the moon on Sept. 23.
“The new U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss has laid out a terrific supply-side economic growth plan, which looks a lot like the basic thrust of Kevin McCarthy’s ‘Commitment to America’ plan,” he told viewers of his daily program that day.
What got Kudlow vibrating was Truss’ release of a budget plan that included cutting corporate taxes and slashing the top tax rate on the wealthiest Britons to 40% from 45%.
It’s just very exciting that we finally got Thatcher back in Britain under the name of Liz Truss.
— Economist Arthur Laffer, shortly before Truss was ousted as Prime Minister
Kudlow, a former economic advisor to former President Trump, was correct that the Truss plan closely resembled Republican economic orthodoxy, which begins and ends with tax cuts for the rich.
What prompted him to mention House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield), was a bit of a mystery, however, since the published version of McCarthy’s program is devoid of the details needed to make the comparison.
Get the latest from Michael Hiltzik
Commentary on economics and more from a Pulitzer Prize winner.
No matter, no matter. The point is that far from being “terrific,” the Truss economic plan was a disaster from the start. The United Kingdom bond market plummeted, sending officials at the Bank of England scurrying to try to rectify the damage.
Britain’s entire political establishment, from right to left, was aghast at Truss’ proposal to pare the country’s tax revenues by about $3.4 billion a year without offering any clue to how she would make up the deficit. The idea that the largest tax cut since 1972 would inspire a wave of entrepreneur-driven growth was widely derided.
Truss and her then-Chancellor (or treasury chief) Kwasi Kwarteng reversed course on the tax cut plan on Oct. 3, nine days after they proposed it. Truss fired Kwarteng 11 days after that. And on Oct. 20, a mere 44 days after taking office, Truss herself was forced to resign, marking the shortest tenure of a prime minister in British history.
If there’s a lesson in all this, Kudlow hasn’t voiced it. Whether he has commented at all on the fall of Liz Truss isn’t clear — no clip of him doing so turns up in a search of the Fox Business channel website. (Fox Business did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

March 28, 2022
But the Fox Business archives are chockablock with praise for Truss by other right-wing economic pundits, all aired in the first days of her premiership.
Here’s economist Art Laffer on Kudlow’s show on Sept. 28: “Now you’re going to watch Britain perform — outperform — the rest of the world year-in, year-out going forward,” Laffer exulted. “It’s just very exciting that we finally got Thatcher back in Britain under the name of Liz Truss.”
On Kudlow’s Sept. 26 show, Stephen Moore, senior economist at the right-wing think tank FreedomWorks and another former member of the Trump economic brain trust, anointed Truss as a “hero” and a “superstar.” Moore said, “It’s hard to find anything not to like about what she has done so far.”
All this cocksure commentary was accompanied by smirking sideswipes at what Kudlow called “business lefties” who were sounding the alarm about Truss at the outset.
We’ve reported before on the unerring talent of Laffer and Moore for being wrong about economic policy. The burst of praise for Truss and the rapidity with which her program collapsed is something new, however.
To paraphrase the late Joan Didion, they were offering analysis in which “measurable cerebral activity is virtually absent.” The great press critic A.J. Liebling might have described it as “the futility of flapdoodle.”
Didion was taking a swipe at Bob Woodward’s vacuous books, Liebling at the lengthy period of uninformed speculation about the health of Joseph Stalin while he lay on his deathbed in 1953.
The wrong calls on the Truss program reflected a knee-jerk impulse of supply-siders to react to anything even remotely resembling the policies of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan with sedulous adoration.

Hiltzik: GOP promises to gut your Social Security, Medicare if it takes power
Oct. 19, 2022
This is a habit that only the most rock-ribbed conservatives in Britain itself continued to display, until “a new generation” of Conservative Party members of parliament, including Truss and Kwarteng, “called for a return to the free-market Thatcherite principles of low tax and supply-side reforms,” observed the Financial Times, which no one would mistake for a liberal newspaper.
Their thesis, as it was under Thatcher and Reagan, was that “tax cuts would pay for themselves if they enabled the economy to grow.”
The truth is that the Thatcher and Reagan revolutions did not allow the British and U.S. economies to grow in a way that benefited everyone. Their policies benefited only the rich. Moreover, today is not the 1980s and Truss is not Thatcher, whose nearly 12 years in office made her the longest-serving prime minister since 1885.
Among British economic observers, there were widespread doubts that the Truss tax cuts would have any measurable effect on growth, especially given the self-imposed head winds facing the British economy. Comparing the impact of Thatcher’s tax cuts to Truss’ was sheer folly.
“Under Thatcher, the top rate was slashed from 80 percent to 40 percent,” recalled Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator of the Financial Times. “It is debatable whether even that improved performance significantly. This mouse of a change surely cannot do so.... For economic performance, these changes are totemic, not real. For income distribution, however, they will be perfectly real, not totemic.”
Added Paul Johnson, head of the London-based Institute for Fiscal Studies, “It is a lack of productivity growth that has led to the stalling of earnings and living standards.... To a large extent, that lack of growth has been a choice. We have chosen not to invest in education, liberalise the planning system or stay in the European single market. The combined cost of this is huge.”

Hiltzik: Proof the IRS targets the poor for tax audits while leaving millionaires alone

Truss and Kwarteng surely knew that their policy would be ineffective and ruinously expensive. Days before announcing their plan, they fired Tom Scholar, the top civil servant at the Treasury, presumably because they knew he would speak out against the tax cuts. They refused to allow the Office for Budget Responsibility, an independent government fiscal watchdog akin to our Congressional Budget Office, to examine the plan.
As a result of these maneuvers and its basic structure, the Truss plan almost produced an immediate political pushback. The reduction of the top tax rate would directly affect only about 600,000 Britons with annual incomes over about $170,000 — almost exactly the top 1%.
As Johnson calculated, the very richest households, the 0.1% with incomes over about $680,000, would get a tax cut of about $22,500 each. Everyone else would see their basic tax rates cut only to 19% from 20%.
Meanwhile, most Britons would face cuts in government services as the government struggled to cover its increased deficit.
There are lessons in all this for the U.S., particularly for Republican policymakers. One is that clinging to Reagan-style economic policymaking won’t help create growth. It didn’t do so in the past and won’t do so now. Another is that continuing to feed fat cats with tax cuts while impoverishing the rest of America has limited appeal, and eventually the public will get wise.
A third is that serious political leaders admit their mistakes. Truss did so, telling the BBC, “We went too far and too fast.” (Not that her confession was enough to save her job.)
Kudlow, Laffer and Moore were spectacularly wrong about Truss and her policies. If they were honest analysts, they’d admit it. Supply-side economics has been a failure for most Americans. They and their GOP followers should stop clinging to the wreckage.

Column: Stephen Moore's ranking of states’ economies has been wrong for 12 straight years
Business Columnist Follow
April 24, 2019
If you happened to check out the latest ranking of states for their “economic outlook” published last week by the right-wing political group ALEC, you would be excused for concluding that California is deep in an economic hole and digging itself deeper.
ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, has updated these rankings every year or so since 2008. They’re prepared by economist Arthur Laffer, Heritage Foundation fellow Stephen Moore and Jonathan Williams, ALEC’s chief economist, under the title “Rich States, Poor States.”
We’ve examined “Rich States, Poor States” in the past and found its ability to actually predict states’ economic growth prospects to be essentially nil. But this year’s edition is especially notable because of Moore’s role, since he’s been nominated by President Trump for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, one of the nation’s premier economic policy bodies. “Rich States, Poor States” probably shouldn’t be seen as a feather in his policymaking cap.
The ALEC economic outlook ranking is, in my assessment, a manifestation of faith-based economics.
— Menzie Chinn, University of Wisconsin
The rankings are based on 15 “policy variables” such as tax rates, anti-union policies and the minimum wage. In the latest edition, the 12th, California ranks 47th overall in its economic outlook.
Among the components of this figure are the state’s top marginal income tax rate of 13.30%, tops in the nation (rank: 50th), its steep tax progressivity (rank: 50th) and its high minimum wage of $12 an hour (rank: 48th). California also gets a black mark for not being a right-to-work — that is, anti-union — state. On the plus side, it doesn’t levy an estate tax. But that’s the only silver lining Laffer, Moore and Williams could find in a jungle of negatives.
Indeed, California has been ALEC’s whipping boy since the rankings first appeared in 2008. In all but one of the 12 editions of “Rich States, Poor States,” California has ranked 43rd or below — including 47th six times, and 46th twice. The state’s high point came in 2012, when it ranked 38th.
Under the circumstances, then, one has to wonder why in recent years California has turned in the most consistently glittering economic performance in the nation. Its growth in real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product since the 2009 recession has handily outstripped that of several states with top-flight ALEC rankings, such as Utah (ALEC’s No. 1), Nevada (4), Indiana (5), North Carolina (6), Tennessee (7), Florida (8) and that veritable laboratory of tea party tax-cutting, Kansas (27).
One might almost think that the ALEC rankings are based not on actual economic potential, but on adherence to right-wing shibboleths such as favoring the wealthy and suppressing the income of rank-and-file workers.
Moore told me by email, “I’m not at all optimistic about the economic future of California, but I hope I’m wrong.” He didn’t address my questions about the mismatch between the ALEC rankings he co-authored and the facts on the ground, but noted that “California has lost almost one million net residents to the rest of the nation over the last decade,” adding, “People don’t leave places that are prosperous.”
Yet that’s just another example of beside-the-point reasoning that permeates the ALEC rankings, since California manifestly is prosperous, even if its wealth is not evenly distributed. Moore’s figures derive from a Census analysis for the period 2007 to 2016, not the last decade. In any event the net loss of 1 million residents over a decade is minuscule, considering that California’s population is 39 million. The bulk of the out-migration is among residents without bachelor’s degrees. California has experienced net gains in population among people with graduate degrees and income of more than $110,000.
Laffer, the rankings’ chief author, says he isn’t discouraged by the empirical figures on growth. “California is so magical,” he told me (he should know—he got his economics doctorate from Stanford and taught at USC for eight years before hanging out his shingle as an economic consultant in Nashville). “It’s got so much going for it that can’t be measured in terms of policy variables. I think California grows in spite of its policies.”
An original promoter of Proposition 13, Laffer asserts that the tax-cutting initiative spurred the state’s growth for years, and that even now it would be growing faster if it didn’t saddle itself with high taxes and tolerance for unions.
Yet there’s still reason to ask why the “pro-growth” policies that are advocated by the ALEC team don’t reliably translate into growth. And the evidence is strong that they don’t. That was the conclusion of economist Menzie Chinn of the University of Wisconsin, who in 2015 went hunting for some correlation between states’ economic growth and their rankings in “Rich States, Poor States,” and found none.
If anything, Chinn wrote, there was a negative correlation. As his home state of Wisconsin rose in the ALEC rankings — from 33rd in 2008 to 17th in 2014 (a period that overlapped the election of tea party favorite Scott Walker as governor) — Chinn noticed that the state’s growth rate fell relative to the rest of the country.
“This is not the direction that ALEC-Laffer-Moore-Williams posit,” Chinn observed. “Hence, the ALEC economic outlook ranking is, in my assessment, a manifestation of faith-based economics.”
That’s true of many, if not most, business climate rankings purveyed by business lobbies. They tend to give states demerits for regulations, for the “cost of doing business” (generally taxes and wages and government generosity) and for their cost of living.
Yet many of these categories aren’t drags on a state’s business climate, but reflections of its appeal. Sure, California is an expensive place to live, but that’s because it’s a desirable place to live. The state with the lowest cost of living is Mississippi, but who wants to live there? Yes, there are lots of regulations in California, but that’s because some of the features that draw people in, such as its natural beauty and its climate, need safeguarding.
Some factors measured by ALEC and other business groups have a narrow allure to executives and the rich, but no relationship with broader measures of the quality of life. Laffer and Moore, in their 2014 book “The Wealth of States,” reported on research findings that “industry is strongly attracted to states with … relatively little union activity.”
No kidding? CEOs naturally gravitate toward states where their employees have no voice in workplace policies or the ability to bargain collectively for higher wages. Is this necessarily an unalloyed blessing for anyone but management? Does it ensure a well-financed public sphere, including good schools, clean air and clean water? Hardly.
The most confounding case is Kansas, which for a time was a beacon of ALEC-friendly policymaking. That was during the tenure of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, who came into office in 2011 intent on creating a low-tax nirvana that would turbocharge economic growth.
It didn’t happen. Laffer maintains that the reason was partially a pushback by an anti-Brownback cabal in the state Legislature that obstructed his tax plan. But in reality, Brownback’s policies blew such a hole in the state budget that the courts had to order higher spending on schools and other expenses. The state, moreover, was left without adequate resources to manage a rural recession. By 2017, the state’s growth rate was down to 0.2%; the U.S. average that year was 2.2%.
None of this guarantees that California will continue to outpace the nation in economic growth. The state faces not a few headwinds, including a lack of affordable housing and an excessive reliance on capital gains taxes. But these aren’t factors in the ALEC rankings, which are focused almost exclusively on policies that enable the rich to get richer while the working class struggles. Is that a formula for growth? Judging from California’s record, the answer is no.

Stephen Moore, a conservative economist whose controversial remarks about women cost him a seat on the Federal Reserve board in 2019, is now co-author of a plan to radically reform the US treasury as part of Project 2025, a vast rightwing effort to advance radical policy proposals for Donald Trump’s possible White House return.
“Project 2025 is all about forcing a far-right agenda on to everyday Americans,” said Tony Carrk, the executive director of the progressive watchdog Accountable.US, which produced an extensive report on Moore’s views and positions.
“So it’s no wonder they tapped a notorious social security opponent like Stephen Moore to help write their policy schemes.”
Moore, Carrk said, had “dedicated his career to slashing social security benefits and taxes for billionaires”.
Like other welfare programmes such as Medicare, social security is a longstanding target of the US right but also something of a third rail for politicians of either party, given public support. Recognising such support, Trump has pledged to “always protect social security” should he return to power. His last opponent for the Republican presidential nomination, the former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, says she wants to reform it.
Joe Biden has said he “will not cut a single social security or Medicare benefit”.
Moore remains loyal to Trump but in the past has
for privatising social security, which he has called a “Ponzi scheme”, and told students they should march on the Capitol and burn their social security cards.
Responding to Carrk, Moore said by email: “Actually I favor higher social security benefits with personal accounts. That would give seniors benefits that would net three to five times higher.”
Moore advocates mandatory 401k accounts, in place of social security.
He added: “Yes, I am strongly in favor of cutting tax rates to make [the] American economy No 1.”
By its own description, Project 2025 is the work of “a broad coalition of over 70 conservative organisations”, brought together by the Heritage Foundation and aiming to shape the presidential transition should a Republican win election this year.
In the words of Paul Dans, its director, Project 2025 aims to prepare “a new army, aligned, trained, and essentially weaponised conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state”.
According to a conspiracy theory championed by Trump’s ally and adviser Steve Bannon – though Bannon reportedly said the “deep-state conspiracy theory is for nutcases” – the deep state consists of bureaucrats, government functionaries and intelligence operatives, all working to thwart Trump’s agenda.
Legal sources and sources close to the presidential transition have said extreme actions proposed under Project 2025 are unlikely to happen swiftly, should Trump or another Republican take office, given existing guardrails in and around the federal bureaucracy.
Nonetheless, as other chapters recommend rolling back LGBTQ+ rights or dismantling climate policy, so the chapter co-authored by Moore says a Trump treasury should eliminate policies attributed to Biden including the “racist ‘equity’ agenda” and the “economically destructive and ineffective climate-related financial-risk agenda”.
Moore’s co-authors are William L Walton, a private equity investor, and David R Burton, an economic policy expert. The three authors identify social security as a program relevant to treasury reform, including it in “issues of concern” that “cut across multiple parts of treasury or other governmental agencies”.
Elsewhere, Jonathan Berry, who was chief counsel to the Trump transition in 2016-17 and led the regulatory section of the Department of Labor in the Trump administration, notes the potential for privatisation of social security, writing: “Existing statutory language in the Social Security Act does not prohibit non-public organisations from administering the programme.”
In his statement, Carrk also accused Moore of “belittling women and people of color”.
In May 2019, Moore withdrew from consideration for a seat at the Fed. Amid intense media scrutiny, the Guardian reported tax and legal issues affecting Moore including underpaying alimony to his ex-wife. Columns written by Moore also came under scrutiny, unearthed sexist remarks including complaints about women in sports and asking whether there was anywhere in life “men can take a vacation from women”. Moore also wrote that Black families were replacing men with “a welfare check” and that increased earnings for Black women would make Black men “financially expendable”.
Withdrawing from consideration for the Fed, Moore said that the “unrelenting attacks on my character have become untenable for me and my family” but told Trump he would “continue to be a loud economic voice advocating your policies” and would “always [be] at your disposal”.
Moore went on to advise Trump during the Covid pandemic. Now, as well as writing books and providing analysis for Fox News, he is attached to a range of rightwing groups – he is a Heritage Foundation fellow; the senior economist at FreedomWorks; and chair of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity (CUP).
Moore co-founded CUP in 2015 with the billionaire Steve Forbes, the economist Larry Kudlow (later Trump’s chief economic adviser) and Arthur Laffer, an economist and pundit who advised Ronald Reagan and Trump and to whom Trump gave the presidential medal of freedom.
The Accountable.US report details donations of at least $1.77m to CUP from DonorsTrust, a rightwing group not required to reveal the names of its donors.
“A principled philanthropic partner for conservative and libertarian donors” in its own words, but “the right’s dark-money ATM” in the words of Mother Jones magazine, DonorsTrust has links to the Koch network and Leonard Leo, two dominant figures in rightwing political funding.
Carrk said: “With extremists like Moore calling the shots, Project 2025 may not have any credibility, but unfortunately they have limitless resources from the dark-money Leonard Leo network to undermine the health and retirement security of millions of Americans.”

Pro-Trump donors in huge cash drive to boost doctors pushing states to reopen
This article is more than 6 years old
Save Our Country coalition, with links to Trump administration, building support for new tax cuts and curbs on Covid-19 spending
Peter Stone in Washington
Mon 1 Jun 2020
A powerful conservative coalition whose key members have strong Trump administration ties, is seeking to raise $5m to back hundreds of doctors pressing states to open rapidly and to build support for new tax cuts and curbing pandemic spending, say its leaders.
The Save Our Country (SOC) coalition was launched in April by veteran advocates of small government policies who lead rightwing groups like FreedomWorks Foundation, Tea Party Patriots and the shadowy state policy network the American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec).
Nearly all top public health voices, like the White House adviser Dr Anthony Fauci, urge caution in reopening states. There is broad consensus among most public health experts worldwide that too swiftly ending lockdowns risks a potentially devastating second wave of infections in a pandemic that has already cost more than 100,000 American lives.
But the Tea Party Patriots have spearheaded a drive, in radio and TV interviews, to mobilize doctors urging states to move faster. It is now attracting broader financial support from rightwing donors and groups in the shape of the SOC. Doctors in the group have also pushed unscientific theories about the pandemic in ways that have sparked anger and criticism.
The Tea Party leader Jenny Beth Martin said the group has about 800 members and its mission is to “educate the American public about the unintended side-effects” of the shutdown. Martin said 800 doctors signed a letter in May to Donald Trump which called the lockdowns a “mass casualty” event causing depression and other ills and urged Trump to end the “national shutdown”. A copy of the letter is going this week to governors nationwide.
The coalition’s key groups are dark money non-profits that historically have been funded by a mix of wealthy donors, corporations and conservative foundations. One leading figure in the loose-knit coalition is the FreedomWorks economic adviser and free markets advocate Stephen Moore.
The coalition’s economic and health agendas are drawing fire from scientists and economists of all political stripes
Brandon said the SOS coalition has raised just over $800,000 towards a $5m goal for projects including new ad efforts – online, radio and print – to rev up grassroots pressure to reopen states faster, plus curtail more federal spending and promote business-favored tax cuts.
Los Angeles-based Dr Simone Gold, who has been prominent in the doctors’ drive, was featured over Memorial Day weekend at a rally in Los Angeles which drew the conservative radio host Dennis Prager.
According to the Associated Press, the Council for National Policy Action, another SOS member, on 11 May held a call about the doctors’ effort with Trump campaign officials who indicated they plan to launch a similar drive soon. Gold told the AP that there was “no scientific basis that the average American should be concerned about” Covid-19 – something that downplays all medical evidence about the pandemic’s risks.
Gold has also used talk radio to tout the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine – which Trump has taken in hopes of blocking Covid-19 – despite growing scientific evidence it carries big health risks.
The coalition’s economic and health agendas are drawing fire from scientists and economists of all political stripes.
“The fact that these organizations have found doctors who are willing to support a rightwing agenda designed to help Donald Trump against all scientific evidence and appropriate public health practices is shameful,” said Irwin Redlener, a professor of public health at Columbia University.
Critics notwithstanding, Brandon said the coalition recently spent $50,000 for videos on Facebook, Hulu and Twitter targeting independents and Republicans with the message that Covid-19 mostly hits the elderly to minimize risks for others.
FreedomWorks, which boasts an arm whose tax status permits lobbying, has also been prodding the Senate “to pump the brakes on new spending”, Brandon said referring to the $3tn-plus that has already been allocated for corporate relief and the pandemic’s painful fallout for tens of millions.
Besides coalition projects, Tea Party Patriots and FreedomWorks have tapped their email lists and social media to mobilize activists to join “liberate” demonstrations in more than 10 states including North Carolina, Wisconsin, Virginia and Michigan, with the latter attracting some gun-toting activists.
Key groups in the SOC coalition, which has 200 members, have been funded by prominent billionaires, including some who have been active in the sprawling big-money network led by the oil and gas billionaire Charles Koch.
Tea Party Patriots, for instance, received almost $2m in 2017 and 2018 from Richard Uihlein, whose net worth in early 2020 was almost $25bn according to public records. Charles Koch, whose net worth Forbes last month pegged at $46.5bn, has been an Alec funder. The Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus, whose net worth in February was $6.5bn, has backed Job Creators Network which also belongs to the coalition.
The coalition and some member groups have held strategy conference calls that include some wealthy donors and underscore White House ties. FreedomWorks and Brandon hosted one such call on May 21 with Vice-President Mike Pence and Moore.
A GOP source who heard the call said Pence offered mostly familiar rhetoric about “restoring American greatness” and congratulated the call’s “distinguished” participants.
In turn, Moore stressed FreedomWorks support for a payroll tax cut, an idea Trump has pushed but which has faced bipartisan Senate opposition in part because it mainly helps workers with jobs, and not the tens of millions newly unemployed.
Jerry Taylor, who heads the non-partisan Niskanen Center and used to work at Alec leading a taskforce on energy and the environment, faults the coalition’s economic and health analyses.
“The political actors involved with these groups are united both in their hostility to mainstream science – which they consider a conspiratorial leftist plot to destroy free market capitalism – and their superficial understanding of economics. Fully reopening the economy will not produce an economic recovery until the coronavirus is contained and can stay contained,” he said.

E AND E GRNWIRE
Former President Donald Trump says he knows “nothing about” a conservative policy blueprint and has “no idea who is behind it.”
But the authors include Trump’s former Cabinet secretaries, top White House officials and senior aides — including former Trump appointees to EPA, the Interior Department and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Trump’s efforts to distance himself from Project 2025, a policy blueprint organized by the conservative Heritage Foundation, come as Democrats are seizing on pieces of the framework to attack Trump on policy and as the Biden campaign aims to shift focus away from questions about his age and mental acuity following the presidential debate.
Email blasts from the Biden campaign in recent days have been titled, “Project 2025: Trump’s Extreme and Dangerous BFFs;” “Donald Trump Takes His Project 2025 Abortion-Banning Agenda to Florida;” and “Trump’s Project 2025: Gutting the National Weather Service (Bad!).”
Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday slammed the project as she tied it to the former president. “Trump advisers have created a 900-page blueprint of their agenda for the second term. They call it Project 2025,” Harris said. “Let us be clear, this represents an outright attack on our children, our families and our future.”
Stephen Moore, an adviser to the Trump campaign who co-authored the Project 2025 framework, said the policy guide has been misunderstood.
“It’s not meant to be a blueprint for Donald Trump — it’s meant to be a blueprint for a conservative president,” Moore said.
“We wrote this as our dream scenario,” Moore said of the authors, a list that includes former Trump Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson and former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro, who’s serving in federal prison after he was convicted of contempt of Congress.
“I assume some of the ideas Trump would reject and some he would adopt,” Moore said.
Three co-authors who laid out visions for overhauling energy and environmental agencies were high-ranking officials under Trump....

These names represent a powerhouse lineage of free-market, classical liberal, and libertarian economic thought. While they share an overarching belief in the power of free markets, there are distinct nuances separating them: [1, 2]
- Steven Moore: An economist and prominent political adviser, Moore is a contemporary advocate for supply-side economics, deregulation, and tax cuts. He frequently cites and champions the ideas of Mises, Hayek, and Friedman to support modern free-market policies. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Ludwig von Mises: A central figure of the Austrian School, Mises is famous for the economic calculation problem (which argued that socialism cannot work because it lacks market prices) and a foundational defense of capitalism. [1]
- F.A. Hayek: A Nobel Prize-winning Austrian economist known for his work on the price system as a means of coordinating decentralized knowledge and his classic critique of government planning, The Road to Serfdom. [1, 2]
- Milton Friedman: The founder of the Chicago School of Economics, a Nobel laureate, and a leading monetarist. While Hayek favored spontaneous order, Friedman was more mathematically and empirically focused, famously noting he was "an enormous admirer of Hayek, but not for his economics". [1, 2, 3]
- Murray Rothbard: An economist and philosopher who synthesized Austrian economics with classical liberalism to create anarcho-capitalism. Rothbard studied under Mises and took his strictly free-market, anti-state philosophies to their absolute limits. [1, 2]

His errors have had human consequences: he helped craft formerKansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax cut plan,which essentially wrecked the state.

AI Overview
Economist Stephen Moore heavily advised and championed the 2012 Kansas tax cuts pushed by then-Governor Sam Brownback. Moore incorrectly predicted the cuts would act like a "shot of adrenaline" and cause an economic boom. Instead, the policies led to massive state budget shortfalls, deep cuts to public services, and severely lagged job growth, ultimately resulting in the repeal of the tax experiment. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
The Prediction
Stephen Moore and Arthur Laffer served as key architects and advocates for former Kansas Governor Sam Brownback's tax-cutting agenda. They heavily promoted a supply-side, trickle-down economic model, predicting that slashing income tax rates and eliminating pass-through taxes for small businesses would rapidly stimulate business growth, increase state revenues, and trigger an unprecedented economic boom. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Failure
The promised economic growth consistently failed to materialize. Real-world outcomes included: [1, 2]
- Revenue Collapse: Tax revenues plunged dramatically, leading to hundreds of millions of dollars in budget deficits. [1]
- Service Cuts: The state was forced to slash funding for critical infrastructure, public services, and education. [1, 2]
- Legislative Reversal: The fiscal situation became so dire that in 2017, even the Republican-controlled Kansas legislature overwhelmingly voted to repeal Brownback’s signature tax laws over his veto. [1, 2]
- Resignation: Governor Brownback ultimately resigned in 2018 having suffered record-low approval ratings and an economic track record that became widely recognized as a textbook policy failure. [1]

Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy: Moore, Stephen, Laffer, Arthur B.: 9781250193711: Amazon.com: Books
FOREWORD BY KUDLOW
Donald Trump promised the American people a transformative change in economic policy after eight years of stagnation under Obama. But he didn’t adopt a conventional left or right economic agenda. His is a new economic populism that combines some conventional Republican ideas–tax cuts, deregulation, more power to the states–with more traditional Democratic issues such as trade protectionism and infrastructure spending. It also mixes in important populist issues such as immigration reform, pressuring the Europeans to pay for more of their own defense, and keeping America first.
In Trumponomics, conservative economists Stephen Moore and Arthur B. Laffer offer a well-informed defense of the president's approach to trade, taxes, employment, infrastructure, and other economic policies. Moore and Laffer worked as senior economic advisors to Donald Trump in 2016. They traveled with him, frequently met with his political and economic teams, worked on his speeches, and represented him as surrogates. They are currently members of the Trump Advisory Council and still meet with him regularly. In Trumponomics, they offer an insider’s view on how Trump operates in public and behind closed doors, his priorities and passions, and his greatest attributes and liabilities.
Trump is betting his presidency that he can create an economic revival in America’s industrial heartland. Can he really bring jobs back to the rust belt? Can he cut taxes and bring the debt down? Above all, does he have the personal discipline, the vision, the right team, and the right strategy to pull off his ambitious economic goals? Moore and Laffer believe that he can pull it off and that Trumponomics will usher in a new era of prosperity for all Americans.
Review
"Stephen Moore and Arthur Laffer, two very talented men, have just completed an incredible book on my Economic Policies, or, as they call it, TRUMPONOMICS. They have really done a great job in capturing my long-held views and ideas. This book is on sale now―a terrific read of a really interesting subject!" ―President Donald Trump
About the Author
Stephen Moore is a former member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board, and the Distinguished Visiting Fellow for The Heritage Foundation's Project for Economic Growth.
He is the co-author of Trumponomics.
ARTHUR B. LAFFER, the Father of Supply-Side Economics, was a member of Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board. Laffer and Stephen Moore are the economists behind the job creation platform that brought Trump to victory.

:{Jul 26, 2014 — Steven Moore is a goofball. Ad hominem, but true.
Flag; 11 Rich. San ...Read more}:
A few months ago the buzz was that the Heritage Foundation was getting serious after a series of blatant errors and ludicrously biased “research”. The supposed evidence for this turn was the hiring of Stephen Moore from the Wall Street Journal to become chief economist. I was, shall we say, unimpressed.
Ahem. Conservative Media’s Favorite Economist Caught Distorting Facts About Taxes And Job Creation:
On July 7, Moore published an op-ed in The Kansas City Star attacking economic policies favored by Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman. The op-ed claimed that “places such as New York, Massachusetts, Illinois and California … are getting clobbered by tax-cutting states.” Moore went on to attack liberals for “cherry-picking a few events” in their arguments against major tax cuts, when in fact it was Moore who cited bad data to support his claims.
On July 24, The Kansas City Star published a correction to Moore’s op-ed, specifically stating that the author had “misstated job growth rates for four states and the time period covered.”
What gets me here is the sheer laziness; it looks as if Moore pulled numbers from an old piece of his, and never bothered to update. How hard is it to check state job numbers?
Actually, if you’re going to do something about state job growth, the very least you should do is bear in mind that the recession and recovery have had differential effects across states, so that you might want to look at job growth over the whole period of recession and recovery. If you do, the figure shows what you see for Moore’s four states:

Texas is, not surprisingly, the best performer. New York comes in second, followed by California, with Florida in last place. Not much of a clear ideological message there.
Nor should you expect there to be. Real empirical work on state growth shows multiple factors — mildness of climate, cheap housing, high wages, and yes, some impact from tax rates. The idea that you would find an overwhelming one-factor correlation with taxes alone is something only a, well, Heritage foundation analyst could believe.
Last point: there are quite a few politically conservative but technically competent economists out there, and Heritage clearly has the resources to hire them if it chooses. But it doesn’t — I suspect because it’s afraid that they might stray off the reservation. Competence has a well-known liberal bias.

Where Are The Friedmans Of Yesteryear?
Where Are The Friedmans Of Yesteryear?
January 10, 2015
I never got around to commenting on the infamous Economist list of influential economists; they’ve been given plenty of deserved grief, to which I needn’t add. But I think I might have something useful to say about a fact that is really unmistakable when you look at a list corrected by removing central bankers, or make a more subjective judgment: these days, the economist as public intellectual is overwhelmingly likely to be a liberal.
As Noah Smith says, it was not always thus. He argues that the field of economics has changed, with greater emphasis on market failures, and there’s arguably something to that. I’d also argue that the descent of right-leaning macroeconomics into hermetic absurdity matters quite a lot, because macro looms larger in the public sphere than it does within the academy.
But there’s another important factor. Modern conservatism doesn’t have Friedman-like figures — people who would be prominent economists thanks to their research whatever their politics, who are also public intellectuals– because it doesn’t want them. The movement prefers hacks, who needn’t be even minimally competent but can be counted on to defend the party line without any risk of taking an independent stand.
Let me offer my own two short subjective lists. I think if you were going to name the two current econoheroes of U.S. liberals they would probably be Joe Stiglitz and yours truly. (Thomas Piketty has made a huge and well-deserved splash, but so far only on one issue.) The thing that is obvious about Joe is that before becoming a public figure with a political following he established his reputation with vast amounts of widely cited academic research; you can get a sense of what he did by looking at his top entries on Google Scholar. And here are mine.
Now, who would be the conservative counterparts? Who gets cited by, say, Republican governors seeking authority for their tax cuts, or published on a regular basis on conservative opinion pages? I’d say Stephen Moore and Arthur Laffer. No point in looking them up on Google Scholar, although Laffer does show up, marginally, for a 1971 paper co-authored with Eugene Fama.
And it’s not as if Moore and Laffer are guys who may lack academic cred but have proved themselves as working analysts. On the contrary, they’re guys who can’t even cook numbers without screwing up, who have spent years telling us to get ready for soaring interest and inflation rates. But it doesn’t matter; being right is not what they’re paid for.
So in trying to understand where the Milton Friedmans of yore have gone, you want to look at the demand side. The right lacks heavyweight economists with independent reputations partly because they are hard to find, but also because it doesn’t want them. Only hacks need apply.

Why one editor won’t run any more op-eds by the Heritage Foundation’s top economist
A reply to Paul Krugman on state taxes and job growth made some incorrect claims
July 31, 2014By Deron Lee
Sign up for the daily* *CJR newsletter}:
PRAIRIE VILLAGE, KS — “I won’t be running anything else from Stephen Moore.”
So says Miriam Pepper, editorial page editor of the Kansas City Star—and not just because she’s retiring this week. Pepper’s no-Moore stance comes after her paper discovered substantial factual errors in a recent guest op-ed by Moore, the chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
The episode serves as a cautionary tale for editors navigating the disputes of rival policy advocates—and a case study in the delicate art of running a correction.
It all began a month ago, when the Star ran a piece by the Nobel Prize-winning economist-turned- liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, as it does regularly. The column named Moore as one of the “charlatans and cranks” who have influenced policymakers at all levels to enact low-tax, supply-side economic policies—with ruinous effects, according to Krugman. The sweeping 2013 tax cut in Kansas is only the latest example, he wrote, citing unfavorable economic and fiscal news in the Sunflower State.
After the column ran, Pepper told me, “I was contacted by Moore’s people saying they wanted to run a response.” In the interest of fairness, she agreed.
Moore, formerly of The Wall Street Journal, submitted a version of a column that originally ran in Investor’s Business Daily. Contra Krugman, the column argued that Kansas’s tax-cut experiment needed more time to work, and cited statistics to show that states “following Krugman’s (and President Barack Obama’s) economic strategy are getting clobbered by tax-cutting states.”
The Star ran Moore’s column on July 7. It wasn’t until weeks later that Pepper realized there were problems with it. The bad news came from one of her own columnists, Yael Abouhalkah, who had taken another look at Moore’s op-ed while researching an editorial he was writing, and realized that one key paragraph—the one containing the most specific data in support of Moore’s claim—didn’t check out.
Moore had written:
No-income-tax Texas gained 1 million jobs over the last five years; California, with its 13 percent tax rate, managed to lose jobs. Oops. Florida gained hundreds of thousands of jobs while New York lost jobs. Oops.
The recurring “oops,” intended as a dig at Krugman, took on an unintended irony after Abouhalkah discovered that Moore’s numbers did not match those of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In fact, Moore later acknowledged, he was using BLS numbers not from “the last five years” but from an earlier five-year period: December 2007 to December 2012. Focusing on that period is arguably dubious, because the span captures the depths of the Great Recession and the housing crash, which hit some states harder than others—and whose impact likely would have swamped any tax-rate effect. There are other issues with the quality of Moore’s argument, too, like its glancing-at-best treatment of how factors like housing costs shape population and job growth.
In any case, Abouhalkah found, Moore’s numbers were wrong even for 2007-12, in ways that complicated the “low taxes = more jobs” message. As Abouhalkah wrote in a column this week:
Texas did not gain 1 million jobs in the 2007-2012 period Moore measured. The correct figure was a gain of 497,400 jobs.
Florida did not add hundreds of thousands of jobs in that span. It actually lost 461,500 jobs.
New York, with [its] very high income tax rates, did not lose jobs during that time. It gained 75,900 jobs.
Oops, indeed.
In an email exchange, Pepper says, she presented Abouhalkah’s findings to Moore, and he agreed to a detailed correction, which ran on page 2 of the paper in an edition last week. The Star’s corrected version of the online column, published July 24, can be seen here.
The corrections
Moore’s piece, and the mistakes it included, did not appear only in the Star. When Abouhalkah discovered the errors, Pepper informed editors at the Wichita Eagle, the Star’s sister McClatchy paper, which had also run the piece. The Eagle ran its own correction, somewhat different from the Star’s. The original version published in Investor’s Business Daily remains uncorrected as of this writing. (IBD, which identifies Moore as part of its “brain trust,” did not respond to a request for comment.)
I sent links for all of these versions to Craig Silverman, a former CJR contributor who now writes the Poynter Institute’s Regret the Error blog. “This is a great case study to show the lack of standardization with corrections from one news outlet to another,” he replied.
The Star’s online correction is signaled at the top with an editor’s note, with detailed corrective material in-line. The offending passage now reads:
Please see editor’s note at the top of this column.No-income-tax Texas gained 1 million jobs over the last five years, California, with its 13 percent tax rate, managed to lose jobs. Oops. Florida gained hundreds of thousands of jobs while New York lost jobs. NOTE: These figures are incorrect. The time period covered was December 2007 to December 2012. Over that time, Texas gained 497,400 jobs, California lost 491,200, Florida lost 461,500 and New York gained 75,900.Oops.
The Eagle took a different approach with its online correction, leaving the problematic paragraph intact but noting the errors at the top of the page:
Correction: The 5-year time period mentioned in this piece was December 2007 to December 2012. Over that time, Texas gained 497,400 jobs, California lost 491,200, Florida lost 461,500 and New York gained 75,900. The totals in this piece are incorrect.
Silverman found negatives and positives in both examples:
The Star’s approach is good in that it makes it clear what was wrong within the text of the article, and it flags that something was wrong right at the top. The Eagle did well to put the correction at the top of the piece and to include the correct totals. However, in both cases there is a concern that leaving the original, incorrect numbers within the text itself may result in some people being confused, or even retaining the incorrect claims.
When I presented this critique to Pepper, she said it was “interesting and good advice” but said she felt it was important to keep the original text alongside the correction, so there would be no confusion for readers about what had been written and what had been corrected.
There’s also the larger question of what the corrections do to Moore’s overall point in the op-ed. As Silverman noted, the paragraph “arguably contains the most important statistics in the piece,” and “the Florida/NY comparison now refutes his claim… the whole thing reads very messy for anyone trying to decide whether his is a convincing argument.”
It would be good, he said, for the papers to get some comment from Moore “about whether his errors undercut his argument.”
The Star did, eventually, get such a response. Abouhalkah’s latest column, which appeared online Tuesday, quoted an email from Moore to the Star in which the Heritage economist said, “I do regret the mistakes in my piece,” but added, “My point is that they don’t change the conclusion that the no income tax states have substantially outperformed the high income tax states over every period since about 1970….”
It’s not an especially full-throated reckoning, but Pepper says it’s more than Moore offered at the time of the original correction. As she tells it, the statement came only at the end of a “snippy” email exchange in which Moore complained about a July 25 Abouhalkah column further highlighting his errors. (That column was picked up by the liberal group Media Matters, and from there by Krugman himself.)
After my own (non-snippy) email exchange with the press folks at Heritage, they sent me a corrective statement attributed to Moore:
CORRECTION: One part of Moore’s column contained data that was incorrect, and we regret the error. The time period covered was December 2007 to December 2012. Over that time, Texas gained 497,400 jobs, California lost 491,200, Florida lost 461,500 and New York gained 75,900. The general point of the op-ed remains correct: state policy dramatically affects job opportunities and low tax policies have proven to lead to more job growth in the long term. As Moore accurately made clear in his original column: “This does not mean all states that cut taxes have growth or that all states with high taxes don’t have growth. It means there is a strong propensity for low-tax and tax-cutting states to grow. Period.”
The version of Moore’s op-ed at the Heritage site was corrected today to remove the incorrect material. The problematic New York/Florida data for 2007-2012 was dropped entirely, and replaced by numbers from a longer time period (1990-May 2014) that support Moore’s point. Paradoxically, it’s more persuasive than the original, even if there are still complicating factors he doesn’t really address.
Asked today to reply to Pepper’s comments, Heritage provided another statement that made the same points: “One part of the column contained data that was incorrect, and we regret the error… As noted in the correction, use of the correct data still supports the conclusion reached in the original column.”
A lesson learned
Of course, the responsibility here is not Moore’s alone. As Silverman says, “each of these outlets bear responsibility for the op-eds they publish. There are so few stats in this piece that it would seem reasonable to expect someone on the op-ed page to check them before accepting the column. That would have prevented this issue.”
Pepper acknowledges this responsibility. “We did not factcheck his BLS figures that we found out later were incorrect, and that was a failure on our part,” she says.
As for the Wichita Eagle, opinion editor Phillip Brownlee told me in an email that the paper did vet the piece before publishing, but failed to catch the errors in question.
Of course, both Pepper and Brownlee were republishing a piece that had appeared elsewhere first—it was in IBD before the Star—and therefore should have been factchecked already.
“You assume Heritage has edited these pieces too,” Pepper says. “But, lesson learned. There will be no future Heritage pieces published that don’t get thorough factchecking.”
And, hopefully, pieces from other guest writers will get the same treatment.

Conservative Economists in Exile in the Age of Trumpism - Stanford Politics
Conservative Economists in Exile in the Age of Trumpism
By Andrew Granato on December 6, 2016

One of the defining stories of the year was a guessing game: which of the political Right’s factions (neoconservatives, libertarians, the Religious Right, etc.) would go along with Trump’s gleeful trashing of traditional movement conservatism and assertion of a populist white nationalism? Where members of each faction chose to stand often said more about them than it did about Trump himself, who often seemed to be making it up as he went along, reversing his policy positions on a dime if it seemed worthwhile at that moment. And as it is with those factions, so it is with the world of conservative economic thought, where the arrival of Trumpism has scrambled alliances and may have fundamentally dislodged economists from Republican policy for years to come.
:{:{Among certain factions on the left, economics as a whole is regarded as a right-wing thorn in society’s side, little more than a corporate-tinged justification for ‘neoliberalism’ and greed. During the Reagan Era, the most well-known economist and public intellectual was conservative-libertarian Milton Friedman, who, in his bestselling books and widely watched PBS series, championed sharp cuts in marginal tax rates, cuts to welfare and entitlement programs, corporate deregulation, and the idea that “the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits.”}:
Republican President Reagan and Conservative British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher specifically cited and championed the works of economists like Friedman as well as those of the iconoclastic libertarian Austrian School, such as Friedrich Hayek and Ludvig von Mises, which may have contributed to the perception of the field among some as a conservative outpost.}:
The view of economics as a vehicle for conservative ideology is a wild mischaracterization of the field as a whole, and Friedman, Hayek, and von Mises are not representative figures. Many economists work on issues that are not politically contentious, such as theoretical auction design or econometrics (specialized statistics), and their academic articles resemble papers in mathematics or computer science much more than competing policy arguments in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. When not mathematical theory, economics journals are usually populated by papers not embracing ideological visions, but performing rigorous proofs or hypothesis testing ofdata. Many economists, particularly those employed at institutions such as the Federal Reserve, try to avoid politicization of their work as much as possible.
While the field takes prevention of political bias in research quite seriously, when explicitly asked about their partisan preferences, a 2003survey of 1000 randomly selected economists actually reported voting for Democratic candidates over Republican ones by a ratio of 2.5 to 1, and a 2016study of faculty party registrations found that economists at 40 top US universities were more likely to be registered Democrats than Republicans by 4.5 to 1. In other words, if economists, in general or at top universities, were the only people who voted, the result would be a Democratic landslide unlike any ever seen in American political history.
:{:{Economists as a whole could only be considered right-wing in the context of the rest of academia, where the same 2003 survey found Democrats are preferred to Republicans by a ratio of 5.5 to 1 in political science, 6 to 1 in history, and 16 to 1 in sociology (the 2016 study of top universities found that faculty had shifted even further left, finding, for example, that the ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans in elite history departments is now 33 to 1).}:
Also, because economists acknowledge that the fundamentals of supply and demand characterize markets and therefore resource allocation, they tend to have a certain bound on how far left they are willing to go, usually stopping at some point before outright government control of the means of production. In much of the social sciences and humanities, the only real political debates are between the center-left and the far-left, with conservatives considered a laughingstock and almost completely marginalized. Economists, on the other hand, although they still clearly lean left, have a long tradition and meaningful presence of conservative thought.}:
It is in this atmosphere that Trump has thrown everything into turmoil.
Drain the Ivory Tower
Before Trump arrived, the economic agenda of political conservatives was organized around several well-known planks: a preference for lower marginal tax rates (particularly on the wealthy) and free trade and opposition to regulation, unions, the minimum wage, deficits, redistributive programs, and economic stimulus.
But although conservative economists served in government economic positions such as the Council of Economic Advisors during Republican administrations, it was not only academics who could push their agendas, but also an assortment of non-academics working in grassroots organizations and some think tanks. Such people did not work in the field of economics or try to publish articles in economics journals, but instead promoted policy ideas like ‘supply-side economics’ or the famouspledge, developed by Grover Norquist, to never increase taxes on any individual or entity under any circumstances, ever. These activists attempted to use the basic vernacular of the field of economics, but did so without participating in the practices of the field meant to enforce rigorous accountability, like peer review.
A good predictor for whether an economics-affiliated conservative supported Trump during the campaign is whether he or she is an economist or one of these political activists. Conservative heavyweight think tanks stacked with economists, like the Hoover Institution or the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), were noticeably reticent about the election. Top officials in previous Republican administrations (John Taylor, Greg Mankiw, John Cochrane, Martin Feldstein, Glenn Hubbard, Richard Schmalensee, William Poole, and more) went on record opposing Trump.
When The Wall Street Journal contacted forty-five economists who had served on the Council of Economic Advisors under eight different presidents, not a single one supported Trump. When Trump initially put out his economic plan, economists across the spectrum immediatelysavaged it. With days to go before the election, a group of 370 economists, including eight Nobel Laureates, published a letter disparaging Trump for “magical thinking and conspiracy theories” just two days after a group of nineteen American economist Nobel Laureates published a letter endorsing Clinton; by contrast, a quadrennialletter signed by hundreds of economists in support of the GOP nominee this year simply registered objection to Clinton’s policies without mentioning Trump at all.
Meanwhile, when a group of over 130 pro-Trump intellectuals published a mission statement, only nine were economists on a list dominated by media commentators, cultural critics, and lawyers/law professors. When Trump unveiled his economic advisoryteam in August, out of the thirteen members, most of them were industry executives in finance and real estate, five of them were major donors to the Trump campaign, and only one, Peter Navarro, was an economist. Trump’s principal economic advisor on the list, Stephen Moore, the ‘chief economist’ at the Heritage Foundation, was a newspaper columnist and the founder of activist group Club For Growth who oncepublished an editorial so riddled with factual errors that the editorial page editor of the paper commented, “You assume Heritage has edited these pieces too. But, lesson learned. There will be no future Heritage pieces published that don’t get thorough fact-checking.”
After Trump’s initial tax plan waspilloried because it would have cost $10 trillion over the next decade, he deployed to fix it Moore and Larry Kudlow, a CNBC host and political pundit who infamouslydeclared that “President George W. Bush may turn out to be the top economic forecaster in the country” and that “it’s a non-recession recession” in May of 2008. What’s more, Grover Norquist, who at one point gotall but seven House GOP Representatives to sign his pledge to never sign any form of tax increase, has been vocally pro-Trump.
University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers put itbluntly in August:
Most conservative economists have bailed on Trump. But supply-side pseudo economists haven’t.”
While ideologically driven economic activists and a few CEOs, free of having to rigorously justify their assumptions and ideas to other researchers in as much as a research journal, constructed the barest outlines of a policy platform, the actual economists affiliated with the conservative movement rendered their verdict: #NeverTrump. Trump-supporting economic activists are of course free to argue for whatever positions they want, but it is extremely telling that they make these arguments using wild assumptions accepted by almost no one actually in the field, including the economists whose ideological priors lean right.
Trump demonstrated no interest in learning the standard conservative arguments for policies such as increasing the retirement age. The attributes of typical Republican policy he adhered to (tax cuts on the wealthy, repeal of Dodd-Frank) were far more important for the purpose of signaling to his wealthy donors that having him in office would serve their financial interest.
On other issues, Trump ditched the AEI and Hoover-approved conservative orthodoxy, flip-flopping repeatedly on the minimum wage, protesting against any proposed cuts to Medicare and Social Security, and insisting on single-handedly throwing out “bad” trade deals. Trump, while hurling continuous invective at people of color, spent considerable energy on the campaign trai
l with working-class whites and claiming that he would turn around downwardly mobile white areas. To Trump, a “bad” trade deal was one that resulted in job loss for white workers in blue-collar positions. In this vein, Trump appropriated some of the traditional language of the left, like “[worker’s party,” a stance in sharp contrast to previous Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s lionization of “job creators.”
Trump triangulated his positions so as to balance his (whites-only) economic nationalism with giveaways to the GOP’s donor class like his highly regressive tax plan, making his economic policies a Frankenstein’s monster of the conservative policies most favorable to the rich alongside a populist affect of anti-trade and entitlement protection.
:{:{Conservative economists like Mankiw, Taylor, and Cochrane favor a tightly limited view of economic policy, in which the government should perform minimal action to uphold property rights, solve select public goods problems, and tax limited externalities, and go no further. This view involves support for policies like cuts to Social Security, a position which two-thirds of the general electorate and over half of the Republican electorateopposes.}:
It also involves support for free trade, a view upon which Trump has heaped scorn and Republican support has correspondingly tanked. While Trump does endorse massive, top-heavy tax cuts, many in the Republican base do not: almost a third of Republicans are willing to go as far as toendorse the statement that the government should “redistribute wealth by heavy taxes on the rich.” Conservative economists tend to oppose raising the minimum wage and sometimes support eliminating it entirely, but nearly40 percent of Republicans support raising the federal minimum wage to $12 an hour.}:
Lastly, economists, including conservative ones, tend to take a favorable view of immigration, and the Republican electorate remains decisively against it, includingfavoring a blanket ban on Muslims from entering the country. The vocal, strongly libertarian wing of the field, concentrated in the George Mason department (Alex Tabarrok, Tyler Cowen, Walter Williams, and Donald Boudreaux, among others), alsoviscerally opposes Trump. Such economists tend to be in favor of policies as radical as open borders — essentially Trumpism’s polar opposite.
In this context, it makes sense that conservative economists refused to play along with Trump, because conservative economists recommending policy tend to be committed to certain visions and ideas based on their priors and academic research, and the motley crew of Trump advisors was interested in some fusion of ideological enforcement and political power, even if it came by riding the coattails of a racist authoritarian with questionable fidelity to their positions.
With Trump having to settle into D.C., will he back off from his conservative heresies? Possibly. The institutional Republican Party retains many movement conservatives, and the Trumpist fever may die down. But the Republican electorate did not care about what ivory tower economists thought about policy when they selected their nominee, and their aggressive middle finger to the entire conservative movement signals what might be a fundamental break.
Since the election, Stephen Moore, that quintessential Reaganite, has directly told House Republicans that Reaganism isover and that the GOP is now a “populist working-class party.” Moore’s comment comes at a time when Trump’s pick for Treasury Secretary isSteven Mnuchin, a hedge fund manager and Goldman Sachs alumnus (who also sits on the board of a bank accused of refusing to lend to black and brown people). In the transition milieu, conservative economists are nowhere to be found, their fate in the Republican Party precarious at best.

Stephen Moore tells Fox that jobs data show the US needs more immigrants in the labor force
Stephen Moore: “The big picture about what's happening to America demographically is very simple; 11,000 Baby Boomers are retiring every day, and only 8,000 Americans are entering the work force”

From the February 11, 2026, edition of Fox Business' Mornings with Maria
MARIA BARTIROMO (HOST): Well, look, Peter Navarro was with us yesterday, we were talking about trade. He told us look, when it comes to jobs going forward, tick your expectations down, watch this.
[BEGIN VIDEO]
PETER NAVARRO (WHITE HOUSE SENIOR COUNSELOR): The jobs report's going to come out. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like. When we were letting in two million illegal aliens, just coming in, coming in, we had to produce 200,000 jobs a month for steady state. And by the way, all of the jobs that we were creating in Biden years were going to illegals, Americans were going to the unemployment lines. That's totally reversed, and now, 50,000 a month is going to be more like what we need.
BARTIROMO: You're expecting a weak number.
NAVARRO: No. Not expecting a weak number. I'm just saying that going forward, when we see a number under 100,000, we don't wring our hands. We say, yeah, that's going to be steady state.
[END VIDEO]
BARTIROMO: Reaction, Steve?
STEPHEN MOORE (FORMER TRUMP ECONOMIC ADVISER): Well, look, I don't entirely agree with him. I mean, the big picture about what's happening to America demographically is very simple; 11,000 Baby Boomers are retiring every day, and only 8,000 Americans are entering the work force. So, we definitely want to keep the illegal immigrants out, but we're going to need more legal immigrants, clearly, to fill the job demand.

Right-wing media distract from GOP sabotage of the Affordable Care Act
Trump's media apologists praise his lackluster replacement health care proposal
Written by Zachary Pleat
Published 02/03/26
After Republicans let enhanced premium tax credits for Affordable Care Act Marketplace plans lapse at the end of 2025, health insurance premium costs for many Americans have risen significantly — and are projected to more than double for those who received those subsidies — and the number of signups has plummeted.
Now that Trump has announced his “Great Healthcare Plan” — a vague set of health care policies — and a rural hospital fund established by Trump’s tax cuts announced its first round of funding, right-wing media have jumped on board, ignoring Republicans’ long history of sabotaging the ACA in favor of claiming that the program is unaffordable and praising Trump’s policy ideas, which fail to address the problems he and Republicans helped to create.
Analyses predict massive spikes in insurance premiums and millions losing their insurance from the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits
- AP on January 1: “Health subsidies expire, launching millions of Americans into 2026 with steep insurance hikes.” The Associated Press reported on January 1, “Enhanced tax credits that have helped reduce the cost of health insurance for the vast majority of Affordable Care Act enrollees expired overnight, cementing higher health costs for millions of Americans at the start of the new year. Democrats forced a 43-day government shutdown over the issue. Moderate Republicans called for a solution to save their 2026 political aspirations. President Donald Trump floated a way out, only to back off after conservative backlash. In the end, no one’s efforts were enough to save the subsidies before their expiration date.” The Associated Press, [1/1/26]
- A September KFF analysis estimated that the expiration of the enhanced premium tax cuts would “more than double what subsidized enrollees currently pay annually for premiums—a 114% increase from an average of $888 in 2025 to $1,904 in 2026,” and approved rate changes show an average increase of 20% for all enrollees, more than double the increase for the previous year. An analysis by the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker noted: “This is the largest rate change insurers have requested since 2018, the last time that policy uncertainty contributed to sharp premium increases.” KFF, [9/30/25; Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, updated 1/15/26]
- In June, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that 4.2 million people will become uninsured by 2034 from the expiration of the enhanced premium tax credits. The CBO also estimated that permanently extending these tax credits would increase the number of people with insurance by 3.8 million in 2035. Congressional Budget Office, [6/4/25, 9/18/25]
- According to KFF, January data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services shows that ACA Marketplace sign-ups this year so far are “down by over a million people.” KFF cautioned that “these data may not fully show how much the expiration of the enhanced premium tax credits has affected enrollment in the Marketplaces. A better picture of the enrollment changes likely won’t be known until this summer, when effectuated enrollment data are typically released.” KFF, [1/29/26]
- ## As ACA tax credits lapsed, right-wing media criticized the ACA itself as unaffordable or blamed Democrats
- Right-wing media are claiming that the Affordable Care Act has caused Marketplace plans, which cover specific essential health benefits, to become unaffordable. Yet according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Marketplace costs are growing at similar rates as employer-sponsored health insurance, which is also heavily subsidized in that employer contributions are not taxed. And in fact, it was Republicans who controlled Congress and refused to extend the enhanced premium tax cuts before they expired, even though they extended Trump’s tax cuts for the rich before their scheduled expiration.
- Fox contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier: “What happened is these insurance companies are being told that you have tvo cover all of these patients. You have all of these mandatory things you have to cover, which — that was a big flaw of the Affordable Care Act, which rose costs by essentially saying everything has to be covered.” Saphier continued: “Imagine if your car insurance covered your oil changes, covered everything about your car. That's not how insurance works. But the Affordable Care Act made that, which is why it got so expensive.” Saphier also said she was “frustrated” that “these politicians have failed” to extend the subsidies, even as she criticized the ACA. Fox News, *Fox & Friends*, [1/1/26]
- Newsmax guest Jennifer Kelly: “The nightmare for Americans remains many still paying premiums higher than their own mortgage payment. And the blame for that falls squarely on Barack Obama and the Democrats’ shoulders. So the GOP should just keep pounding that message all the way to the midterms.” Newsmax, *Wake Up America*, [1/1/26]
- Fox contributor Lisa Boothe called it the “Affordable Care Act that’s not affordable.”Fox News, *Outnumbered*, [1/1/26]
- Fox host Julie Banderas: “Democrats, by the way, who backed Obamacare, … they are the ones that actually put a halt on Obama’s subsidies, which effectively are going to increase people’s medical care costs.” Conservative economist Stephen Moore replied, “What we don’t have in America today is affordable health care.” Fox News, *Fox News Live*, [1/1/26]
- Newsmax guest host David Harris Jr.: “This is the real legacy of Obamacare, friends: skyrocketing prices, more government dependance, and a broken system that Democrats propped up with temporary handouts to mask the inevitable.” Newsmax, *The Chris Salcedo Show*, [1/1/26]
- Fox Business host David Asman: “The premiums have not gone down. They have tripled. They have gone up three times with Obamacare. ... And now they're blaming Republicans for the rates going up.” Fox Business, *Kudlow*, [1/2/26]
- Newsmax host Rob Astorino: “It’s not really debatable anymore that the so-called Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, has been a very expensive failure. And Democrats don't care how unaffordable or broken the system actually is. They just want to shovel more money into the pit and add more people to it.” Astorinio added: “Democrats created the mess. Republicans are going to get the blame.” Newsmax, *Saturday Agenda*, [1/3/26]
- Fox contributor Mollie Hemingway: “This Obamacare has been a failure, Democrats know it but don’t want to deal with it, and Republicans, too many of them probably don’t have the courage to tackle it.” Fox Business, *Varney & Co.*, [1/8/26]
- Newsmax senior political analyst Rick Santorum: The enhanced premium tax credits were “all a farce to keep the gravy train rolling.” Santorum also downplayed the loss of more than a million ACA enrollees compared to the previous year, saying that many people were fraudulently enrolled and “the quote dramatic increases actually didn’t affect very many people.” Newsmax, *The Record*, [1/16/26]
- Fox Business host Dagen McDowell downplayed enrollment losses from the expiration of the enhanced premium tax credits. Citing conservative economist Stephen Moore, she said: “It was the fact that the number of people who dropped out of Obamacare was, for the current enrollment year, was incredibly small. And these super-sized subsidies going away had minimal impact on the number of people enrolling in Obamacare.” Fox Business, *The Bottom Line*, [1/16/26]
- Fox Business host Elizabeth MacDonald: “Since Obamacare passed, insurance premiums have nearly tripled.” Fox Business, *The Evening Edit*, [1/19/26]
- Heritage Foundation’s EJ Antoni onFox & Friends First: The premium increases from the lapsed tax credits are “once again exposing yet another lie of Obamacare, the so-called Affordable Care Act. Obviously it was the unaffordable care act.”Fox News, *Fox & Friends First*, [1/28/26]
- ## But Republicans have long been sabotaging the ACA in multiple ways
- Long before Trump’s second term tax cut for the rich further eviscerated the ACA, Republicans were sabotaging the health insurance expansion in numerous ways. This includes at least 70 separate attempts by Republicans in Congress to repeal or weaken the ACA, according to The Washington Post.
- The first Trump administration undertook nearly 100 separate actions “to sabotage the ACA by destabilizing private insurance markets or reversing the law’s historic gains in health coverage.” The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’ list of actions taken by the first Trump administration to sabotage the ACA spans from January 20, 2017, when Trump was first sworn into office, to January 19, 2021, his last full day in office during his first term. Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, [2/2/21]
- In 2015, The New York Times described a Republican campaign against risk corridor provisions of the ACA as “legislative sabotage.” The Times called a successful effort led by then-Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to limit funding to the “so-called risk corridor provision” of the ACA, which protected “insurance companies against financial losses,” “quiet legislative sabotage.” According to a later study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the insurers denied risk corridor payments in 2015 “had 7% higher premium increases over the next two years than did non-claiming insurers.” The New York Times, [12/9/15; Fierce Healthcare, 12/20/17]
- In 2013, The Washington Post reported that Republicans promised to block any efforts to build a federal exchange and urged states to “refuse to build their own online insurance marketplaces.” The Washington Post, [11/2/13]
- In 2013, Politico reported that “Republicans refused repeatedly to appropriate dedicated funds” for the ACA’s implementation. Politico noted that after “most Republican governors declined to create their own state insurance exchanges” and “congressional Republicans refused repeatedly to appropriate dedicated funds” needed for the federal government to “take at least partial responsibility for creating marketplaces serving [those] states.” Republicans’ stonewalling left “the Health and Human Services Department and other agencies to cobble together HealthCare.gov by redirecting funds from existing programs.” Politico, [11/1/13]
- Many Republican-controlled states initially refused to participate in the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, leaving millions without insurance. The New York Times reported in 2013 that many states “largely controlled by Republicans … declined to participate in a vast expansion of Medicaid.” The New York Times, [10/2/13]
- ## Right-wing media have also heaped praise on Trump’s health plan and rural hospital fund
- Instead of calling on Congress to extend the expired tax credits, Trump announced his “Great Healthcare Plan” and a rural hospital fund created last year announced its first disbursements. Right-wing media endorsed both.
- Fox contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier: The rural hospital fund is “going to help health care tremendously.” Fox News, *Fox & Friends*, [1/1/26]
- Fox Business host Dagen McDowell: “The year of health care is here. Or hopefully fixing it. Supersized Obamacare subsidies have officially expired, and the Trump administration's sweeping changes to the industry are now taking effect.” Co-host Brian Brenberg added: “Beginning this month, all 50 states will receive a share of $10 billion in federal funding aimed at revitalizing and protecting rural health care systems.” Fox Business, The Bottom Line, [1/2/26]
- Fox Business host Larry Kudlow introduced a segment by calling Trump’s plan “the greatest health care plan in the history of civilization.” Fox Business, Kudlow, [1/15/26]
- Fox Business host Brian Brenberg: Trump’s health plan is “good economics” because it’s “getting consumers more in touch with the spending rather than all of the middlemen.” Fox Business, Kudlow, [1/15/26]
- Newsmax host Katrina Szish: “The president putting decision-making power back into the hands of Americans. Seems practical to me.” Newsmax, Ed Henry: The Briefing, [1/16/26]
- Newsmax host Shaun Kraisman called Trump’s plan a “new framework of ideas to revolutionize health care in America.” Newsmax, The National Report, [1/16/26]
- Fox guest Steve Forbes: Trump’s plan “could cut out, over time, a trillion dollars [from] the cost of health care.” Fox Business, The Big Money Show, [1/16/26]
- Newsmax White House correspondent Mike Carter: The rural hospital fund is “focusing on those folks, those Americans that live in more rural parts of the country, making sure they have great access to health care by funding rural hospitals.”Newsmax, Newsline, [1/16/26]
- ## Experts say Trump's plan will do little to improve health care affordability and will still result in millions losing their insurance
- The Washington Post described Trump’s plan as a “grab bag of initiatives” that “falls far short of President Donald Trump’s promises to deliver a replacement for the Affordable Care Act.” The Post continued:
Trump’s proposal includes a mix of initiatives that are already underway, such as Trump’s push to cut U.S. drug prices by linking them with the lower cost of drugs sold abroad, and some of his stalled ambitions, such as his desire to redirect billions of dollars in federal funding away from health insurers and toward average Americans. Trump also called to restore funding for the ACA’s cost-sharing reduction program, an insurance subsidy program that he ended in his first term, and to institute “maximum price transparency” by requiring hospitals and insurers to make more information available to consumers.
The proposal does not include new ideas to expand health coverage or simplify America’s often-byzantine health care system.
Additionally, other existing Republican policies stemming from their latest tax cut for the rich are estimated to cause up to 15 million Americans, and possibly more, to lose their health insurance. Other experts said Trump’s plans are so vague that it is unknown what effects they may have but they put people with preexisting conditions at risk and don’t reestablish the expired subsidies:
- Trump’s plan to shift funds from subsidizing insurance plan premiums to health savings accounts is “a terrible approach for” the part of the population that needs assistance with expensive health care bills, according to Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health health policy professor Gerard Anderson. Bloomberg, [1/23/26]
- According to a December Cornell Health Policy Center survey of health care policy scholars, 70% “believed that depositing the value of a household’s enhanced premium tax credit into an HSA (rather than applying it directly to monthly premiums) would measurably worsen Marketplace affordability.” Health Affairs, [12/17/25]
- KFF senior vice president Cynthia Cox: “The president’s plan is vague and, without knowing more, it is impossible to say what the implications would be for people with pre-existing conditions who rely on the ACA markets. The framework does not explicitly say people with pre-existing conditions are protected.” In a comment to NPR, Cox also said: “This looks much more like a compilation of Republican ideas, including some that are already in the Affordable Care Act. It doesn't appear to address the rising premium payments that we're seeing.” KFF, [1/16/26; NPR, 1/15/26]
- Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy research professor Edwin Park: “The plan clearly opposes extension of the expiring ACA marketplace subsidies, without which roughly 4 million people will end up uninsured and many millions more will see their marketplace premiums double or increase by even more.” Park added that Trump’s plan also “appropriates the ‘cost-sharing reductions’ under the Affordable Care Act,” which he said would “have the effect of reducing premium tax credit amounts for those eligible for subsidies (while lowering unsubsidized premiums). The result would actually be more uninsured as low-income people see smaller subsidies and higher premiums they cannot afford.” The Guardian, [1/15/26]
- University of Pittsburgh assistant professor Miranda Yaver: “The result would be inequity (and likely worse health outcomes) and further sabotage of the progress of the ACA.”She added that “it isn’t clear that the plans the Trump administration wants to help people to purchase would be ACA-compliant, which would mean that while healthy patients may enjoy cost savings, there won’t be remotely sufficient protection for the millions of Americans with pre-existing medical conditions.” The Guardian, [1/15/26]

- Multiple studies have concluded that consumers simply don’t shop for cheaper health care.A 2018 New York Times report explained that even though “scholars have estimated that as much as 30 or 40 percent of care” is “shoppable,” studies show “very few people shop for this type of care.” It also covered a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper examining how people sought out nonemergency MRIs, which found that, “in the context of other studies … if people can’t shop for elective M.R.I.s, there’s hardly a chance they are going to do so with other health care procedures that are more complicated and variable.” A 2024 KFF analysis of Medicare beneficiaries also concluded that “the vast majority of the nation’s 67 million Medicare beneficiaries will not shop around among the coverage options for 2025 or switch plans,” even though it’s “a decision that could have a significant impact on enrollees’ coverage and costs.” The KFF analysis determined that “nearly 7 in 10 Medicare beneficiaries (69%) did not compare their Medicare coverage with other Medicare options during the program’s annual open enrollment period for coverage in 2022.” The New York Times, [7/30/18; KFF, 9/26/24]

- ## Trump’s rural hospital fund does not replace the rural medical funding he’s cut, and he’s using it to force states to adopt his policies
- The rural hospital fund was added to Trump’s tax cut bill for the rich to convince Republican holdouts to pass the law after they expressed concerns that the Medicaid cuts in the bill would devastate rural health care. The $50 billion fund doesn’t come close to replacing the rural Medicaid funding that was cut in Trump’s tax cut bill, and one state senator characterized it as a thinly disguised “sort of blackmail” given that it’s being used to coerce states into adopting Trump administration priorities and the money can be clawed back at a later date.
- KFF explained that the rural hospital fund “provides $50 billion for state grants” over a five-year period, of which half is to be distributed “equally among all states with an approved application,” and the other half subject to the Trump administration’s discretion.KFF noted that “while the fund is described as a ‘rural’ program, the law appears to give states some ability to direct some of the dollars to urban and suburban areas, pending CMS approval.” KFF further noted that “while many of the major cuts related to Medicaid and the ACA Marketplaces under the law are not time limited, the rural health fund is temporary.” KFF, [8/4/25]
- The reconciliation package also cuts an estimated $137 billion in rural Medicaid spending over 10 years. KFF explained that its estimate may undercount the lost funding for rural areas: “The analysis allocates each state’s estimated spending reductions from the KFF analysis of the reconciliation package to urban and rural areas using the percentage of Medicaid spending that paid for services used by rural enrollees within each state. The estimates may understate the effects on rural areas because they do not account for the full change in total Medicaid spending, which would include the federal spending reductions and the associated reduction in state Medicaid spending stemming from lower enrollment. The estimates also do not account for spending cuts related to Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace coverage from the reconciliation bill, the expiration of enhanced ACA premium tax credits that were enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of proposed Marketplace integrity rules.” KFF, [7/24/25]
- CBS News: An analysis from the University of North Carolina's Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research determined that 338 rural hospitals are at risk of closure due to the Republicans' cuts of Medicaid spending. The research was commissioned by Democratic senators. CBS News, [6/12/25]
- AP: $12 billion of the fund is tied to “whether states are implementing health policies prioritized by the Trump administration’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ initiative” and can be clawed back if “state leaders don’t pass promised policies.” This includes further restricting the types of food that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds could be used to purchase.

ANOTHER CIVIL WAR? // 5? MOORE DEFECTS

‘The whole thing is imploding’: Inside the rebellion at America’s top right-wing think tank
David Badash andThe New Civil Rights MovementNovember 09, 2025
Founded in 1973, the Heritage Foundation has become what its president, Kevin Roberts, now hails as the “intellectual backbone” of the conservative movement. It crafted the policy blueprint that powered President Ronald Reagan’s right-wing revolution — and today, under Roberts’s leadership, it’s once again shaping the machinery of power. Through its highly controversial Project 2025 — a plan widely credited to Roberts as its chief architect — Heritage laid out a road map for President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda. But Roberts’s recent missteps have rattled the institution, raising strong questions about his leadership — and the future direction of the conservative movement itself.
Roberts gained widespread attention in July 2024 when he issued a warning to Democrats: “we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
At the time, Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said, “they are threatening violence.”
As did others.
“Kevin Roberts is threatening violence to anyone not following his dear leader,” former Republican and former U.S. Congressman Denver Riggleman wrote. “Every network should cover this."
Roberts’s remarks had come just after the U.S. Supreme Court recognized a new constitutional principle of “presidential immunity” for official acts — a decision critics say President Donald Trump has wielded to expand his power.
Late last month, Roberts came under tremendous criticism after throwing his support behind former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who had a two-hour interview with far-right extremist leader Nick Fuentes, whom many see as promoting Christian nationalism, white supremacy, racism, antisemitism, misogyny, and Islamophobia.
"There has been speculation that @Heritage is distancing itself from @TuckerCarlson over the past 24 hours," Roberts wrote on October 30 when posting the video that sparked this current firestorm. "I want to put that to rest right now."
The editors of the right-wing National Review in a scathing editorial explained the issue: “Tucker Carlson, knee-deep already, has taken another step into the muck with a friendly interview with Nick Fuentes.”
HERITAGE "WILL ALWAYS DEFEND OUR FRIENDS ... THAT INCLUDES TUCKER CARLSON"
Roberts had wasted no time in coming to Carlson's defense.
“The Heritage Foundation didn’t become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by canceling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians. And we won’t start doing that now,” he said in his video supporting Carlson.
Roberts insisted that Heritage "will always defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who serve someone else’s agenda. That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains, and as I have said before, always will be a close friend of the Heritage Foundation.”
Criticism of Roberts was immediate.
Journalist Yashar Ali called it a "watershed moment."
"In his statement," Ali wrote, "Kevin condemns what he calls a 'venomous coalition' that is 'sowing division' by attacking Tucker. That 'venomous coalition,' includes MAGA Republicans as well as Jewish conservative commentators, activists, and donors."
"Kevin also frames Nick Fuentes’s rhetoric as worthy of debate, rather than something to be condemned outright. A shift like this would’ve been unthinkable for Heritage just three years ago."
Condemnations came, and continue to do so — from both outside and inside Heritage.
CNN's Andrew Kaczynski on Thursday reported on what one senior staffer called the "absolute s--" swirling inside Heritage.
"The staff that we talked to told us the Heritage Foundation is in open revolt over the president's defense of Carlson," Kaczynski explained.
That senior staffer also told CNN that Roberts had "lost control over the organization."
Kaczynski noted that they also "said there's an open rebellion, and this really all came to a head [Wednesday], where they had this all hands meeting ... this was kind of going around social media, where Roberts publicly apologized, according to her recording we obtained, Roberts told employees, 'I made a mistake. I let you down. I let this institution down. I'm sorry.'"
"But," Kaczynski added, Roberts "also made clear he has no plans to resign."
On Friday, Reason senior editor Stephanie Slade wrote that at a Thursday night event, "I was asked if the crisis at Heritage Foundation seemed to be blowing over. This morning I received a message from someone inside the building about Kevin Roberts: 'He needs to be made to resign by the [Heritage] Foundation Board of Trustees.'"
"In speaking to current and former Heritage staffers over the last week," Slade continued, "the emotion I've most commonly encountered is disgust and the words I've most commonly heard are 'Kevin Roberts has to go.'"
By Wednesday, as Ali noted, Roberts had "made his fourth public statement on the Tucker Carlson/Nick Fuentes situation ... over the course of six days." After the initial video that ignited the firestorm, Roberts made three other attempts to "clean up" his remarks.
According to The Wall Street Journal's Elliot Kaufman, Heritage senior fellow Amy Swearer, in remarks before Heritage staff, told Roberts, "over the last week, you have shown a stunning lack of both courage and judgment."
She called Roberts' initial defense of Carlson "at best ... equal parts incoherent, unhelpful and naive."
"At worst, it was more akin to a master class in cowardice that ran cover for the most unhinged dregs of the far right."
"LOST MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DONATIONS"
Heritage also appears to be losing important donors.
"One major donor, whose organization contributes more than a half million dollars annually to Heritage Foundation, told us that they had totally lost faith in Roberts," Kaczynski reported.
"They said, 'I see how things play out, but if Kevin remains as president, we will not be giving to Heritage.'"
"Likewise, the Zionist Organization of America, that's actually the oldest pro-Israel group in the United States, announced that it has withdrawn from Heritage's initiative on antisemitism, unless Roberts publicly apologized, and retract his praise for Carlson."
Newsmax reported that "Zionist Organization of America President Morton Klein told Newsmax Friday that Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts should resign immediately."
"My organization has many of the same donors as Heritage," Klein also said. "They've told me that they're stopping all funding for Heritage until they get rid of Kevin Roberts, so yes, they have lost millions of dollars in donations since this controversy arose."
Klein also "pointed to longtime Heritage fellow Stephen Moore's recent departure."
"He doesn't want to be involved with Heritage, which is now tainted as an antisemitic, bigoted organization," Klein told Newsmax. "It's harmed everything else they do."
Mark Goldfeder, CEO of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, told The Wall Street Journal on Friday that “Any tent that is big enough for them ...is too big for me,” referring to Fuentes and his allies.
The Journal reported that "Goldfeder resigned from Heritage’s National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism in the aftermath of Roberts’s video."
"CIVIL WAR AT THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION"
Other critics outside Heritage have also been observing Roberts' crumbling support, and what it means for the future of the organization, its president, and the conservative movement.
"The civil war at the Heritage Foundation is far more consequential than most people realize," noted Mike Madrid, the prominent Latino Republican political consultant. "The divide seems irreconcilable and it could splinter the American right irreversibly."
Conservative New York Times opinion columnist David French wrote on Sunday, "I don’t know if Roberts will survive at Heritage."
"I do know that Carlson and Fuentes and their constellation of friends and allies are far too popular to cancel or even to contain," he noted, and observed: "The fight for the future of the Republican Party is underway."
And pointing to a Washington Post article on the crisis at Heritage, Madrid declared: "The whole thing is imploding."

August 1, 2025, edition of Fox Business' Mornings with Maria
MARIA BARTIROMO (FOX BUSINESS ANCHOR): 73,000 jobs, 73,000 jobs, created in the month of July, the number just coming out.
...
CHARLES PAYNE (FOX BUSINESS HOST): And that's total.
BARTIROMO: Four point two percent is the unemployment rate, right in line with expectations. Here are the numbers: For the month July, jobs came in 73,000 that was lower than the expectation, which called for 110,000 jobs. The unemployment rate right in step with expectations at 4.2%. Steve Moore, your reaction.
STEPHEN MOORE (GUEST): Look. I think this is all a result of — this disappointing number — is a result of all the turmoil over tariffs and and the trade wars. And that's sort of good news and bad news because guess what? In just the last few weeks, Trump has racked off a lot of victories here. As he gets more victories with the Europeans, with Japan, with the UK, I think that's gonna settle things. And then, that kind of turmoil will over. So I think, I think that — this is kind of a blip, and, and so I'm kinda I'm still very bullish on the US economy, but this is a disappointing number. I'd love to see, what the number was for private sector, as John was saying, is it private sector, or government? I want to see the government employment number down because remember, under Biden —
PAYNE: 83,000
MOORE: So much of the job creation was in the government sector.
...
PAYNE: I want to push back on it, I think this is more about the Federal Reserve.
BARTIROMO: Yeah.
PAYNE: Again, we've got a bifurcated economy. The Fed is — is they have a regressive approach here, right? They're still trying to clamp down on this economy, but it's not working, it's hurting 70% of the folks out there. Look at delinquencies, look at all the things that are hurting average household, I think — and also small businesses. They're coming into this year, the biggest question was how they even refinance. We're talking about financing government, then how do we help the small businesses out there? There are two economies, the Fed's looking at the wealthiest folks out there and thinking it means everyone. I think that's hurting jobs market more than anything else.
BARTIROMO: Mmhmm, yeah, it's a great point. I agree that this report is so critical for the Federal Reserve's next move. Stephanie, how do you read things?
STEPHANIE POMBOY (MACROMAVENS PRESIDENT): Well, I'm just stunned at another number in this report, and that is the downward revisions to the June figure, from 147,000 to just 14,000. So, looking over the last three months, we've got 73,000 in July, 14,000 in June, and 19,000 in May. Those are incredibly weak headline numbers, and that's the total, not just private jobs, so this is a very soft report. And I guess what I'm really blown away by July generally is a report where the seasonals are such that you can surprise on the upside very easily. Because a million people, roughly, drop out of the labor force with the school year, you know the school vacations. So that sets a very low seasonal bar for the data to clear, and clearly we tripped over the bar. So this is a very weak report.
...
POMBOY: And I guess it, you know, certainly strengthens the argument materially for the Fed to cut rates. It's interesting, because one presumes they've had at least some of the preliminary components of this report when they were in their meeting on Wednesday and made the decision, they probably had an early look at this. So, that probably is one of the reasons why you had the two dissents, but amazing that Powell stood firm despite that in the face of this data.
BARTIROMO: Well it's a great point you make, because these downward revisions show a lot more about this economy in the last couple of months. And if we're learning now in, you know, the first day of August, for the month of July, and the month in June that things were weakening, Jay Powell had access to that. How is it possible that he went forward and did not cut interest rates, even as he saw all of this data, Stephanie? Yes, that's why we had two dissenters, Miki Bowman and Christopher Waller.
POMBOY: I think that Trump kind of put him in a position where he had to stand firm, otherwise he would look like a total pushover. So ironically, by putting all that pressure on him, the president may have actually reinforced Powell's determination to stand firm in the face of data that clearly indicate that he should have been moving in the other direction. But as you said, Powell's always too late. That's not just a slight against Jay Powell. The Fed is always too late. They always overstay accommodation and create some kind of massive bubble. And then when that bubble bursts, they act like they're shocked that anything adverse happened, and they run in, and they put way too much stimulus there. And the next think you know, we've got another correction — recession on our hands. And so it's either too tight or two easy, they just can't seem to get it right. And I think it is definitely time to do a deep review of the Federal Reserve, and look at really, as Charles has talked about, the incredible damage that Federal Reserve's policy has done to the middle class of this country. I mean, it is responsible, in my view, for this yawning gap between the high end and the low end, and with each serial monetary bailout, they create, you know, they expand that wedge even wider.

trump-economist-stephen-moore-us-treasury-project-2025
Stephen Moore, a conservative economist whose controversial remarks about women cost him a seat on the Federal Reserve board in 2019, is now co-author of a plan to radically reform the US treasury as part of Project 2025, a vast rightwing effort to advance radical policy proposals for Donald Trump’s possible White House return.
“Project 2025 is all about forcing a far-right agenda on to everyday Americans,” said Tony Carrk, the executive director of the progressive watchdog Accountable.US, which produced an extensive report on Moore’s views and positions.
“So it’s no wonder they tapped a notorious social security opponent like Stephen Moore to help write their policy schemes.”
Moore, Carrk said, had “dedicated his career to slashing social security benefits and taxes for billionaires”.
Like other welfare programmes such as Medicare, social security is a longstanding target of the US right but also something of a third rail for politicians of either party, given public support. Recognising such support, Trump has pledged to “always protect social security” should he return to power. His last opponent for the Republican presidential nomination, the former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, says she wants to reform it.
Joe Biden has said he “will not cut a single social security or Medicare benefit”.
Moore remains loyal to Trump but in the past has
for privatising social security, which he has called a “Ponzi scheme”, and told students they should march on the Capitol and burn their social security cards.
Responding to Carrk, Moore said by email: “Actually I favor higher social security benefits with personal accounts. That would give seniors benefits that would net three to five times higher.”
Moore advocates mandatory 401k accounts, in place of social security.
He added: “Yes, I am strongly in favor of cutting tax rates to make [the] American economy No 1.”
By its own description, Project 2025 is the work of “a broad coalition of over 70 conservative organisations”, brought together by the Heritage Foundation and aiming to shape the presidential transition should a Republican win election this year.
In the words of Paul Dans, its director, Project 2025 aims to prepare “a new army, aligned, trained, and essentially weaponised conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state”.
According to a conspiracy theory championed by Trump’s ally and adviser Steve Bannon – though Bannon reportedly said the “deep-state conspiracy theory is for nutcases” – the deep state consists of bureaucrats, government functionaries and intelligence operatives, all working to thwart Trump’s agenda.
Legal sources and sources close to the presidential transition have said extreme actions proposed under Project 2025 are unlikely to happen swiftly, should Trump or another Republican take office, given existing guardrails in and around the federal bureaucracy.
Nonetheless, as other chapters recommend rolling back LGBTQ+ rights or dismantling climate policy, so the chapter co-authored by Moore says a Trump treasury should eliminate policies attributed to Biden including the “racist ‘equity’ agenda” and the “economically destructive and ineffective climate-related financial-risk agenda”.
Moore’s co-authors are William L Walton, a private equity CNP investor, and David R Burton, an economic policy expert. The three authors identify social security as a program relevant to treasury reform, including it in “issues of concern” that “cut across multiple parts of treasury or other governmental agencies”.
Elsewhere, Jonathan Berry, who was chief counsel to the Trump transition in 2016-17 and led the regulatory section of the Department of Labor in the Trump administration, notes the potential for privatisation of social security, writing: “Existing statutory language in the Social Security Act does not prohibit non-public organisations from administering the programme.”
In his statement, Carrk also accused Moore of “belittling women and people of color”.
In May 2019, Moore withdrew from consideration for a seat at the Fed. Amid intense media scrutiny, the Guardian reported tax and legal issues affecting Moore including underpaying alimony to his ex-wife. Columns written by Moore also came under scrutiny, unearthed sexist remarks including complaints about women in sports and asking whether there was anywhere in life “men can take a vacation from women”. Moore also wrote that Black families were replacing men with “a welfare check” and that increased earnings for Black women would make Black men “financially expendable”.
Withdrawing from consideration for the Fed, Moore said that the “unrelenting attacks on my character have become untenable for me and my family” but told Trump he would “continue to be a loud economic voice advocating your policies” and would “always [be] at your disposal”.
Moore went on to advise Trump during the Covid pandemic. Now, as well as writing books and providing analysis for Fox News, he is attached to a range of rightwing groups – he is a Heritage Foundation fellow; the senior economist at FreedomWorks; and chair of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity (CUP).
Moore co-founded CUP in 2015 with the billionaire Steve Forbes, the economist Larry Kudlow (later Trump’s chief economic adviser) and Arthur Laffer, an economist and pundit who advised Ronald Reagan and Trump and to whom Trump gave the presidential medal of freedom.
The Accountable.US report details donations of at least $1.77m to CUP from DonorsTrust, a rightwing group not required to reveal the names of its donors.
“A principled philanthropic partner for conservative and libertarian donors” in its own words, but “the right’s dark-money ATM” in the words of Mother Jones magazine, DonorsTrust has links to the Koch network and Leonard Leo, two dominant figures in rightwing political funding.
Carrk said: “With extremists like Moore calling the shots, Project 2025 may not have any credibility, but unfortunately they have limitless resources from the dark-money Leonard Leo network to undermine the health and retirement security of millions of Americans.”

Heritage Foundation economist argues Trump should get Nobel Peace Prize for tariffs
Stephen Moore on Fox: “If this keeps up, as I said in The Wall Street Journal today, he might win a Nobel Peace Prize if he's able to pull this off”

JOHN ROBERTS (ANCHOR): Well, in fact, China said, in a quote the Chinese commerce ministry said, "China will fight until the end if the U.S. side is bent on going down the wrong path." But you know what the president said in recent days? He said the first countries that come and make a deal, they're going to do really well. The last country to come to make a deal, they're not going to do very well. It looks, at this point, as though that last country is going to be China.
STEPHEN MOORE (Guest): You know, I mean, this is so amazing how -- I just get amazed by Trump by what a great negotiator he is. So, he is basically putting pressure on these countries whether its Germany, France, or Spain, or Italy, or Canada, or Mexico, you better make that call. You want to be first. Because it's almost like a game of musical chairs. Right? You don't want to be the one left standing and that's why I think you are seeing these flurries of calls. Now look, the devil is in the details. We don't know exactly what is being negotiated, we don't know what they are offering. But hopefully, it is that they are going to lower their tariffs on America. And John, I have said many times on your show, I'm a free trade guy, I'm not a big fan of tariffs. But if he can -- if Donald Trump can pull this off and get these countries to reduce their tariffs, it's good for everybody. The world economy will be better. My gosh, If this keeps up, as I said in The Wall Street Journal today, he might win a Nobel Peace Prize if he's able to pull this off.
ROBERTS: Is there a Nobel Prize in trade? I don't know maybe he'd be up for that.

As Trump wrecks the economy, Fox News pivots to blaming Biden
Fox personalities are blaming worsening economic indicators on the previous administration to absolve Trump of responsibility
Written by Zachary Pleat & Craig Harrington
Research contributions from Lis Power
Published 03/04/25
Even though President Donald Trump’s administration has taken multiple actions that have effectively weakened the economy, Fox News is helping Trump prepare to place the blame for worsening economic indicators on former President Joe Biden, who handed off a strong and stable economy to Trump less than two months ago.
Trump reportedly plans to blame Biden for his own economic turmoil
- Time: “A White House official tells TIME to expect more of” Trump blaming Biden for the Trump “administration’s woes” during his March 4 address to Congress. Time further quoted the Trump official as saying: “He’s going to speak directly to the American people about the challenges he inherited from the previous administration.” Time, [3/3/25]
- On Fox, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt previewed that Trump will highlight some of his “accomplishments” and “talk about his plans to fix the economic mess that was created and left for him by Joe Biden and his administration.”Fox News, *Fox & Friends*, [3/4/25]

- Numerous economic indicators have already flipped negative in response to Trump's policy agenda.For months, MAGA sycophants and right-wing media personalities warned that Trump’s agenda to gut the federal government and institute widespread tariffs could devastate the economy, which they attempted to spin as an important step to restoring the balance supposedly missing from the strong economy Trump inherited from the Biden administration. With many of Trump’s policies now being implemented, economists, analysts, and news organizations are pointing to numerous indicators of a pullback in consumer spending, weak consumer confidence, worsening inflation expectations, and higher than expected weekly jobless claims as evidence that the promised economic mayhem has already begun.

- GasBuddy.com: Prices for gasoline, fuel oil, and other petroleum products will increase across the United States due to Trump’s tariffs. In a March 4 blog post, oil and gasoline industry analyst Patrick De Haan explained how Trump’s imposition of 10% tariffs on petroleum products from Canada would result in fuel price changes across the U.S. De Haan predicted that the Northeast would “see the most significant increase” for gasoline prices “at around 20-40 cents per gallon by mid-March,” while other regions of the country would see a delay in price increases “of 1-3 weeks.” De Haan noted that “U.S. refineries can’t simply switch from processing Canadian to American crude oil due to specialized equipment, infrastructure, and pipeline configuration that has been built up over the last 50 years. Long-term, the tariff will add costs throughout the entire supply and refining system, ultimately passing costs to consumers in the form of higher fuel prices.” GasBuddy.com, [3/4/25]

mma # After “disappointing” jobs report, Fox Business guest excitedly predicts future government job losses
Stephen Moore: “I guarantee you that number is going to be down next month, because we’re already seeing the Trump administration really shred jobs in the government sector.”
Written by Zachary Pleat
Published 02/07/25
After the jobs report for January 2025, the last jobs report of Joe Biden’s presidency, came in slightly below expectations, Heritage Foundation economist and Fox Business regular Stephen Moore singled out gains in government employment and promised that future reports would show losses for government jobs due to the Trump administration’s war against the federal workforce.
But what Moore failed to mention is that the federal workforce is only a small part of the government jobs sector. PolitiFact explained in 2011 that local government makes up about 2/3 of the government workforce, and state jobs about another quarter. That leaves the federal workforce as the smallest slice of the government jobs sector. (The breakdown last year was still roughly the same.)
Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman has also previously noted that “more than half of these state and local workers are in education, with much of the remaining employment in public safety (police and firefighting.) So the typical government employee isn’t a bureaucrat doing nothing; he or (often) she is a schoolteacher.”

From the February 7, 2025, edition of Fox Business' Mornings with Maria Bartiromo
LAUREN SIMONETTI (FOX BUSINESS REPORTER): Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 143,000 in January. So, that is shy of the estimate of 170,000. The unemployment rate edged lower, to 4.0%. Expectation was for it to remain flat at 4.1%. Job gains occurred in health care, in retail trade, and in social assistance. Employment declined in mining and the oil and gas extraction industries. So, disappointing on the top line number, you can — well, futures are now down further on this report; they had popped momentarily. Give me a second, guys, and I’ll get you where the jobs are, but that’s your headline number, is a disappointment.
CHERYL CASONE (FOX BUSINESS ANCHOR): Go ahead and keep digging in. I am seeing government jobs, guys, at 32,000. Of course, we never get an estimate for that, but Steve Moore, as you pointed, this is the last report under Bidenomics.
STEPHEN MOORE (HERITAGE FOUNDATION): Yeah. So, Cheryl was that plus 32,000 for government?
CASONE: Yeah, plus. No, it was plus. It was plus. All those new hires in the government.
[CROSSTALK]
MOORE: So here we go again. I'm going to make a guarantee to you. I guarantee you that number is going to be down next month, because we’re already seeing the Trump administration really shred jobs in the government sector. This is a disappointing report. It's probably one of the weakest reports we've seen in a long time.

STEPHEN MOORE (PROJECT 2025 CONTRIBUTOR): If you look at the revisions, remember, they had to revise by 800,000 jobs that they have previously reported existed that didn't exist. Remember, that came out about a week or two ago. But then I looked at the revisions that have happened every month for the last 14 months. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has now overestimated job creation from the initial reports by over 400,000 jobs. These errors are not random when you have like 11 of the last 13 months that have been overestimates. So again, what was the number we just saw, something like, what was it, for this month and the previous month, another 80,000 reduction in the number of jobs we thought we had. Something is wrong with the way they’re creating – they’re counting employment. And if you add these two things together, you know, they’ve overestimated job growth by about 1.2-1.3 million jobs.

And how convenient, for the first time in four years, just before -- weeks before an election, just as early voting begins in Pennsylvania now and around the country, let's drop interest rates and give people the impression that everything's better.

I think Trump said something to that effect. And, so -- and you're right. Jerome Powell has said so many times, "Oh, we have to protect the Fed from political interference."

Project 2025 co-author Stephen Moore wants to hike your taxes as he attacks Kamala Harris’ plan to tax the rich
Moore co-wrote the Project 2025 plan that would raise taxes on working- and middle-class families while slashing taxes for the rich
Written by Zachary Pleat
Published 08/29/24 MMA
Project 2025 contributor Stephen Moore is defending the richest Americans from Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ plan to tax them more. Yet Moore co-authored the Project 2025 chapter on tax policy that slashes taxes for the rich, and as a new analysis from the Center for American Progress shows, would raise taxes on a typical middle-income household by $3,000 annually, and eventually raise effective taxes on that household by nearly $6,000 per year.
- ## Moore’s Project 2025 tax plan would increase taxes on middle-class households by nearly $6,000 every year and slash taxes for the rich
- CAP: Project 2025’s tax reform plan would increase taxes for a median family of four by $3,000. The Center for American Progress analyzed the Project 2025 tax plan, co-authored by Stephen Moore, which it described as “an enormous shift of the tax burden from wealthy tax filers to middle-income tax filers.” As CAP explained, “The centerpiece of Project 2025’s ‘intermediate tax reform’ plan consolidates seven individual income tax brackets, ranging from 10 to 37 percent, to just two brackets: 15 percent and 30 percent.” In the end, “the median family of four made about $110,000 in 2022 and would experience about a $3,000 tax increase from this change.” Center for American Progress, [8/27/24; Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]
- CAP: Project 2025 plans to eventually replace all income taxes with consumption taxes, which would force middle-income households to “pay $5,900 more” in taxes while the top 1 percent “would see a $360,000 tax cut, and the top 0.1 percent would see a $2 million tax cut.” Center for American Progress, [8/27/24]
- Project 2025 also proposes changes to capital gains taxes that would increase tax rates on lower-income earners and cut tax rates for higher-incomes. The authors proposed taxing “capital gains and qualified dividends ... at 15 percent,” instead of the current system. Like their proposed income tax reforms, this proposal would raise effective tax rates at the lower end of the capital gains structure, where some earners currently pay 0%, while reducing the tax share at the top, where individuals earning more than approximately $500,000 pay a 20% capital gains rate. Project 2025, *Mandate for Leadership*, [2023; IRS.gov, 1/30/24]
- Project 2025 would strangle the IRS’ budget, helping wealthy tax cheats avoid paying their fair share, and increase the number of political appointees running the independent tax administration. Project 2025 notes that “the IRS has approximately 81,000 employees” but “only two are presidential appointments.” The authors recommend shifting several high-level administrative positions currently held by career IRS professionals into presidential appointments, which would effectively bring currently the nonpartisan tax administration under explicit political control. The authors voiced support for Congress reversing the additional funding provided to the IRS through the Inflation Reduction Act, which has allowed the IRS to start cracking down on tax evasion by higher-income individuals. They also call for further freezing the agency's funding at its current funding levels, which would likely reduce its effectiveness over the long term. Project 2025, *Mandate for Leadership*, [2023; Tax Policy Center, 2/29/24; CNN, 6/17/24]
- ## Meanwhile, Moore is touring right-wing media to defend the rich from Harris’ plans to tax them more
- On Fox, Moore partially blamed Harris’ proposals on taxing the rich for a temporary dip in the stock market. When America Reports co-anchor Sandra Smith asked of the dip, “Do you think a lot of this is about what’s to come with the election?” Moore replied: “Yeah, I do. I think, look, if you look at what Kamala Harris is saying, she wants to double the capital gains tax, she wants to tax unrealized capital gains, she wants to re-regulate virtually anything that moves in the economy. And she’s basically totally embraced the Biden agenda.” Fox News, *America Reports*, [8/5/24]
- Moore continued attacking Harris’ tax policy later that day on Fox's Hannity, calling it “absolutely ruinous to our economy.” Moore said: “I have to say that I think Kamala Harris is the most anti-business presidential candidate in your and my lifetime. I mean, this woman has endorsed one policy after another that have -- would be absolutely ruinous to our economy. As you mentioned, doubling the capital gains tax, taxing unrealized capital gains.” Fox News, *Hannity*, [8/5/24]
- In a New York Post op-ed titled “Kamala’s faux ‘freedom’ would chain Americans to big-government tyranny,” Moore complained that “Harris favors much higher tax rates on businesses and estates — and even wants to tax unrealized capital gains on the value of a farm, a ranch or a family-owned business.” More added: “Doesn’t freedom mean the right to keep your own money without excessive taxation, and the right to pass your life savings to your children and grandchildren? (Remember: confiscatory estate taxes were a key plank of Marx’s Communist Manifesto.)” Moore is misinforming about Harris’ unrealized capital gains tax though: it applies only to households worth more than $100 million in tradable assets, such as stocks. New York Post, [8/22/24; Media Matters, 8/28/24]
- On Hannity, Moore ranted about the Harris-Walz ticket: “They hate businesses. They hate small businesses. They hate American corporations.” He added: “This is an assault on American businesses in a way that would do extraordinary damage to the U.S. economy. We would have the highest tax rates in the world.” Moore also misinformed about the unrealized capital gains tax, falsely claiming that the owner of a farm that increased from $250,000 to $5 million would owe $1 million in taxes. Fox News, *Hannity*, [8/22/24; Media Matters, 8/28/24]
- In his syndicated column posted to Newsmax’s website, Moore complained that Harris intends on “doubling capital gains taxes” and wants to “soak the rich.” Newsmax.com, [8/27/24]
- On Sinclair Broadcast Group’s national news program, Moore reiterated his complaint that Harris’ policy of raising taxes on the rich is antithetical to her theme of “freedom” and “personal liberty.” After the Sinclair host cited Moore’s New York Post op-ed, Moore said: “Higher taxes is another — how is raising people’s taxes, how does that promote freedom?” Sinclair Broadcast Group, *The National Desk*, [8/28/24]

in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, right-wing media are doubling down on deceptive messaging around gas prices to attack President Joe Biden — in part by promoting a campaign launched by Americans for Prosperity, the fossil fuel billionaire Koch brothers' conservative political advocacy group.
- ## Americans for Prosperity has resurrected its nationwide campaign to convince voters that they are “paying more but getting less” because of the Biden administration — specifically when it comes to the gas pump
- Ahead of Memorial Day, Americans for Prosperity launched its cross-country tour partnering with gas stations to offer lower prices, claiming it was combating “Biden’s war on American energy.” From May 20 to June 3, the group pledged to sell gas for a few hours a day at select stations in 16 states for $2.38 — “near the average price per gallon of gas on the day President Biden assumed office” — while the “national average for a gallon of gas hovering near $3.59 thanks to Bidenomics.” The campaign featured an AFP-branded van with a message painted on the side that said, “Bidenomics costing Americans over $11,400 a year.” Fox Business, [5/20/24; Bidenomics.com, 5/20/24; Americans for Prosperity, 5/20/24]
- The group also pulled this stunt in 2022 before the midterm elections to highlight “harmful government economic policies.” In 2022, AFP traveled to “more than 60 cities to connect people to the fact that this is Washington’s price hike: You’re paying more but getting less.” The campaign pushed a nearly identical message to the current, ongoing one, in addition to encouraging “solutions that unleash energy abundance, end wasteful spending, and ignite innovation.” Americans for Prosperity, accessed [5/30/24; Fox Business, 4/6/22]
- In 2022, Time magazine’s Philip Elliott wrote that the AFP campaign signaled a significant strategy shift for Koch organizations from “philosophy texts” to “more direct engagement” to get voters' attention. According to Elliott, going on the road represents “a clear encapsulation of the shifting strategy inside the Koch orbit’s many organizations, led in the political space through Americans For Prosperity. … Now, Koch strategists are starting to pivot to more direct engagement through digital targeting, mail, and some guerilla marketing that even a short time ago would be dismissed as low-brow tactics beneath the dignity of a high-minded network that distributes philosophy texts and disruption manifestos at its conferences.” Time magazine, [8/2/22]
- ## Gas prices have been relatively stable, and are determined by market forces and not presidents
- Finance columnist Rick Newman wrote, “Market forces that no US president can control explain the recent history of oil and gas prices far more than anything Trump or Biden has done,” adding, “ Anybody who thinks Trump would take some kind of decisive action to lower energy prices if he wins a second presidential term is likely to end up deeply disappointed.” The article continues: “Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ nations have cut production during the last two years to keep prices high. … Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine created other snags in global energy flows, putting upward pressure on prices even now, more than two years later.” Yahoo Finance, [5/2/24]
- The Energy Information Administration says, “The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time ... for the past six years in a row,” adding, “The crude oil production record in the United States in 2023 is unlikely to be broken in any other country in the near term.”U.S. Energy Information Administration, [3/11/24]
- Gas prices have been steadily decreasing compared to 2022 and 2023, and this trend is expected to continue barring extreme weather. As of March, the average gas price was about 12 cents lower than it was in 2023, when “prices were $0.43 less … than in 2022 on average.” According to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan, prices should continue to fall “towards what most Americans would consider normal prices at the pump.” However, high summer temperatures and an intense Atlantic hurricane season might negatively impact energy markets. Yahoo Finance, [3/16/24; CNN, 12/27/23; U.S. Energy Information Administration, 5/22/24; Bloomberg, 5/30/24]
- ## Fox News and Fox Business propped up the AFP campaign “to highlight ‘Biden’s war on American energy’”
- Fox Business promoted the PR stunt with the headline: “Conservative group partners with gas stations to highlight ‘Biden’s war on American energy’: Here’s how.” The article quoted Akash Chougule, AFP’s vice president of government affairs, who said, “From shutting down the Keystone Pipeline to banning energy leases on federal land, Joe Biden’s top-down policies have stifled our country’s energy resources and made even the things like a family road trip more expensive. … This week, we are spotlighting what gas prices could be with policies that unleash our country’s energy potential.” FoxBusiness.com, [5/20/24]
- Fox host Lawrence Jones promoted the campaign on Fox & Friends and interviewed AFP’s vice president of government affairs, Akash Chougule. Showing a map of all the cities where AFP is traveling, Lawrence said, “As Americans struggle with high inflation and gas prices, one conservative group [is] reminding them how much cheaper it was to fill up the car before Biden took office.” Chougule then said that “Americans don't need to be told life is expensive. What we’re doing is explaining to them why it’s expensive, and the reason is Bidenomics — the $6 trillion in additional spending, thousands of pages in regulations that are making their life costlier.” Fox News, *Fox & Friends*, [5/21/24]
- Fox Business host Cheryl Casone discussed the campaign and quoted AFP: “Biden’s war on American energy has had disastrous results and Americans are reeling from high gas prices going into the summer.”Casone continued, “From shutting down the Keystone pipeline to banning energy leases on federal land, Joe Biden’s top-down policies have stifled our country’s energy resources and made even things like a family road trip more expensive.” Fox News, *Fox & Friends First*, [5/21/24]
- OnFox & Friends, Jones said that AFP is getting gas prices “back to when Trump was there,” claiming that “it’s all tied to the green energy policy of Joe Biden.” “Yesterday we had AFP on,” Jones said. “They are going to about 30 to 40 different gas stations and they’re paying for the gas to get back to when Trump was there to show Americans what life was about. But they did some analysis on why the gas prices are going up and it’s all tied to the green energy policy of Joe Biden.” Fox News, *Fox & Friends*, [5/22/24]
- On Fox Business’ Cavuto: Coast To Coast, a chyron read, “Americans for Prosperity offers gas at ‘pre-Biden’ prices.” Fox White House correspondent Edward Lawrence asked Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) about the campaign: “Last week, you pumped gas as the group Americans for Prosperity rolled back prices at [a] station in Wyoming to the levels of when before President Biden took office, when former President Trump was in office. What was that about?” In response, Lummis blamed the Biden administration for “not producing as much as we need to have prices that the American people can afford within their own budgets.” Fox Business, *Cavuto: Coast To Coast*, [5/28/24]
- ## The AFP stunt is just the latest example in a drumbeat of right-wing media coverage trying to pin high gas prices solely on Biden
- On Fox, former Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore dismissed record oil production to claim that the Biden administration is responsible for high gas prices. Moore said that “Biden has massively increased spending on these green energy programs like solar energy, like wind energy, like battery energy, and yet we’re still using record amounts of fossil fuels,” claiming that “the worst way to deal with our high gas prices is to diminish and deplete our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.” Fox News,*America Reports*, [4/22/24]
- After the Biden administration announced last year that it would cancel seven oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Fox Business host Elizabeth MacDonald asked whether Biden “really wants like $10 gas? I mean, who is he president of? Is he president of us or his climate change political donor base, because now we’re going to have to import more oil.”Fox Business, *The Evening Edit*, [9/7/23]
- Fox contributor Tammy Bruce said Biden canceled the leases because “they want people to drive less, and having gas prices be high, they figure, is going to do that.”“When you cut those leases, it signals to everyone that, you know, you are not really serious about making sure we are energy independent,” Bruce said. “You think those polls are bad now? Gasoline will continue and it is going up again. So will home heating oil prices.” Fox News, *The Faulkner Focus*, [9/7/23]
- On America’s Newsroom, Fox anchor Sandra Smith suggested that Biden is blaming oil companies instead of taking responsibility for high gas prices. “It's been OPEC, it's been now the Saudis, it's been Vladimir Putin, and most recently it's also been pinning a lot of blame on the oil companies themselves,” Smith said. “The president has been putting the onus on the oil companies, that he told he was going to bring the end of the fossil fuel industry, to ramp up their production.” Fox News, *America’s Newsroom*, [10/14/22]
- Climate contrarian and frequent Fox News guest Michael Shellenberger claimed that “by working against domestic oil production, it’s Biden who has allowed the Russians & Saudis to raise gas prices.” Twitter/X, [10/7/22]
- ## Right-wing media also recently took aim at Biden’s Energy Department for releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from reserve sites in New Jersey and Maine, often conflating the temporary Northeast sites with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
- While the reserve was initially created for emergencies like Superstorm Sandy, Congress mandated the sale in March as part of a spending package to prevent a government shutdown. According to The Washington Post, “A 2022 report by the Government Accountability Office said the gasoline reserve, which has never been tapped, would provide minimal relief during a severe shortage. The reserve costs about $19 million a year to maintain.” The Washington Post, [5/21/24]
- The administration has stated that the release was timed to help lower gas prices, but it will likely only have a minimal impact for most of the country. “The Energy Department said the sale of 1 million barrels, about 42 million gallons, was timed to provide relief for motorists as the summer driving season begins,” according to The Associated Press. But GasBuddy’s Patrick De Haan told The Washington Post that the “sale of the Northeast reserve would have little impact on gasoline prices nationally, although there ‘may be a slight downward pressure on prices’ in the Northeast. The million-barrel reserve only amounts to about 2.7 hours of total U.S. gasoline consumption, he said.” The Associated Press, [5/21/24; The Washington Post, 5/21/24]
- Fox contributor Sean Duffy said that instead of releasing the Northeast reserve, Biden should “just support American oil and gas and their drilling.”“Again, he sees the politics of gas prices, but this is pretty simple, senator,” Duffy said in an interview with Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI). “Just support American oil and gas and their drilling as opposed to Joe Biden and Democrats attacking American oil and gas. You don't have to release a million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, just pump more oil!” Fox News, *Sunday Morning Futures*, [5/26/24]
- Citing gas prices, Fox contributor Jason Chaffetz and former Trump adviser Stephen Moore chastised Biden for not getting inflation under control. Moore said Biden should be increasing “the supply of goods and services” so prices go down. “That's especially true in gas, “ he said. “Why aren’t we producing more oil and gas here at home?” Filling in for host Sean Hannity, Chaffetz claimed, “We were energy independent and made a choice not to and now Joe Biden, in order to bring down the price of gas, is tapping into a strategic petroleum reserve. He's doing it for political purposes.” Fox News,*Hannity*, [5/24/24]
- Fox host Laura Ingraham claimed Biden’s “anti-oil and gas policies” forced him to release the reserve irresponsibly.“Well, Biden is suddenly scrambling to lower gas prices,” Ingraham said. “Unfortunately, because of his administration’s anti-oil and gas policies and domestic drilling off the table, he has only one way of doing this — yeah, by draining our Strategic Petroleum Reserve again,” calling the move “a tool to boost an intellectually and physically sagging incumbent.” Fox News,*The Ingraham Angle*, [5/21/24]
- In an interview with Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, MAGA podcaster Monica Crowley said that the Biden administration “created this crisis” and called the move to release the Northeast Reserve “treasonous behavior.” Crowley claimed the administration is trying to resolve a “political emergency that they themselves created by their war for the last three and a half years on fossil fuels, driving up the cost of energy across the board and helping to drive up inflation.” She continued, “This is actually borderline treasonous behavior, if not straight-up treasonous behavior.” Newsmax, *Rob Schmitt Tonight*, [5/21/24]

this weekend at the CPAC conference one of your Hotline editors, Steve Moore, called AARP an “evil organization” for its nefarious relationships with the Biden administration and one of the country’s largest health insurance conglomerates, UnitedHealth.
The Biden campaign lashed out in a social media blast asserting the old chestnut that Repubs want to cut Social Security and Medicare:
Here’s a reality check: AARP doesn’t really represent the interests of seniors anymore – if it ever did. AARP is a functionary of one of the nation’s largest health insurer behemoths – United Health.
AARP now collects $1 BILLION a year (not $1 million) in royalties from UnitedHealth – a gargantuan insurer with a $500 billion market cap.
This sweetheart arrangement with UnitedHealth explains why AARP sold seniors down the river by supporting ObamaCare despite calls from their own members running 14-to-1 against it.
UnitedHealth and AARP also supported the Biden Inflation Acceleration Act, which imposed price controls on drug companies in a way that is not lowering drug prices but is slowing R&D funding for new drugs to combat Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and cancer. The last time we checked seniors are the strongest advocates for winning the race for the cure.
AARP signed on to this bill even though it raided over $250 billion from Medicare drug spending to pay for supersized Obamacare subsidies and green energy giveaways.
AARP has opposed many of the most modest debt reduction plans to save America’s future while supporting higher taxes on our kids and grandkids.
If you’re a member of AARP, maybe you should reconsider. We urge our members to check out AMAC or 60+, which are organizations that truly support the interests of older Americans.

During a February 24 panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference, former Trump economic adviser and climate denier Stephen Moore claimed that “climate change is not a science, it’s a religion.”
Video file
CitationFrom NTD News' February 24 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) livestream
Moore, who has a long history of making incendiary and inaccurate comments about climate science and domestic energy production, has worked for several fossil fuel-funded think tanks and is the co-founder of the right-wing nonprofit Committee to Unleash Prosperity. He is also a distinguished fellow in economics at the Heritage Foundation, the Koch-connected conservative think tank behind Project 2025, an expansive policy plan for a potential second Trump term.
According to Politico, Project 2025 would “decimate the federal government’s climate work, stymie the transition to clean energy and shift agencies toward nurturing the fossil fuel industry rather than regulating it. It’s designed to be implemented on the first day of a Republican presidency.” Politico also reported that the Project 2025 agenda would ensure that another Trump presidency would “bring an all-out war on climate science and policies — eclipsing even his first-term efforts that brought U.S. climate action to a virtual standstill.”
During the panel, titled “Bidenomics: Bad for America’s Health,” Moore, said, “I don’t think there’s any issue where Joe Biden has been more hostile to America’s interests, both from an economic standpoint and from a national security standpoint, than on energy.”
He falsely claimed that the U.S. “became the dominant country in the world” due to former President Donald Trump’s energy policy, adding, “‘There is no way in hell that we would have Russian troops in Ukraine if … Donald J. Trump were still president today. We basically played into the hands of our enemies.” (Blaming climate activists and policies for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a mainstay of right-wing media rhetoric since 2022.)
“And by the way, I’m going to say this loud and clear: Climate change is not a science it’s a religion,” Moore said. “It’s the religion of the left, and we have to fight back against this.”
“Under Trump, we were energy independent,” he later said. (Contrary to Moore’s statements, the U.S. is not only still a net exporter of energy, it is also the world’s leading producer of oil.)
He concluded by praising Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” mentality, calling it a “top priority” when he returns to the White House and a way to “solve so many of these problems.”

Is Modern Environmentalism a Pagan Religion? - Townhall
Townhall
Marc Morano, the journalist who runs ClimateDepot.com, asks: "Will human sacrifices be next to appease the 'angry' Earth gods?
stephen moore
great Rush Limbaugh used to say that "the modern environmentalists worship the created, not the creator." I was reminded of that after listening to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once President Joe Biden signed the fiscally unconscionable $750 billion tax-and-spend Inflation Reduction Act, which gives another $369 billion to the climate change-industrial complex.
Pelosi (D-CA) claimed the wind, solar and electric subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act would placate an "angry" planet. "Mother Earth gets angry from time to time, and this legislation will help us address all of that," the speaker said.
This is a highly revealing statement. Do Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues really believe that spending $369 billion on Tesla subsidies (with batteries made in China), windmills (made in China) and solar panels (made in China) is going to save the planet, stop the rise of the oceans and lower the global temperature?
This is the same gang in Congress that can't stop the daily drive-by shootings in our cities, can't secure the U.S.-Mexico border, can't come anywhere near balancing the budget and can't provide the resources our military needs for our national security.
Even if this additional $369 billion were to work as planned, the Wall Street Journal reports that the impact on global temperatures in the coming decades would be to lower them by 0.001%. So, instead of the global temperature being an average of 59 F, it will be 58.999 F. Thank God! We are saved from Armageddon.
But as Pelosi's quote makes clear, this is about symbolism. It is about ruining the economy as a sacrifice to Mother Earth. Marc Morano, the journalist who runs ClimateDepot.com, asks: "Will human sacrifices be next to appease the 'angry' Earth gods? Actually, this bill will create human sacrifice by imposing even more suffering from energy deprivation, supply chain issues, good shortages, inflation, debt, and bad science."
He's right. The suffering that will occur from this assault on American energy security and reliability could be profound -- and it will be the lowest-income people who will be hurt the most. Inflation will rise as energy prices soar. The shortages of energy will cause hardship for many consumers, including food shortages. Europe, which got hooked on the green energy fad, is now rationing energy. In Spain, there are new restrictions on using air conditioning to set the temperature of your store or home at less than 80 F -- during a heat spell. It's one of those sacrifices to Mother Earth.
One of the great injustices and ironies of the new law is that it purports to give billions of dollars for "environmental justice" grants to low-income communities and inner cities when it is this group of people who will feel the brunt of the anti-fossil fuel policies. The poor spend much more of their incomes on energy than the rich.
the warmest years in North America are not recent years -- instead, they occurred during the 1930s amid the Dust Bowl era. This was (SET ITAL) before (END ITAL) 80% of the carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere. Back then, thousands of U.S. residents died from extreme weather. But now we have, through modern electric power and technological innovation, major ways to reduce death rates from weather events. The way to save the Earth is through more growth, more innovation and a richer planet.
That is what Mother Earth wants. That is what America wants. Only one out of 20 people rate climate change as the No. 1 problem facing our country. The public wants lower inflation and more prosperity. This law delivers neither.
The God that many of us worship wants us to create peace, prosperity and light. The god of radical environmentalists will deliver darkness, despair and decline.

fox’s flagship “straight news” show promotes bogus COVID study to boost Republican policies
Right-wing apparatchiks want you to believe red states outperformed blue states during the pandemic — after they literally rewrote the death statistics
WRITTEN BY ERIC KLEEFELD
PUBLISHED 04/13/22
murdoch media outlets are promoting an economic report declaring that Republican-led states did better than their Democratic-led counterparts in the COVID-19 pandemic. But the supposed “study” is simply an engineered conclusion produced by a political front group, which gives extra credit to Republican policies to not implement public health guidance or restrict normal life. And on top of that, it manipulates the typically higher death rates in red states by artificially adjusting them downward, while dishonestly fabricating higher death statistics in blue states.
The report, with the grandiose title “A Final Report Card on the States’ Response to COVID-19,” is the brainchild of right-wing pundit Stephen Moore, along with conservative political organizer Phil Kerpen and libertarian University of Chicago economist Casey Mulligan. (Both Moore and Mulligan served as political appointees in the Trump administration.) The report was released through theCommittee to Unleash Prosperity, a conservative group advocating the discredited principles of “supply-side” economics that has also promoted “pro-growth and liberty-based responses to COVID-19.”
The report, which is not peer-reviewed, also includes a note on the first page thanking Dr. Jay Bhattacharya “for his review of this study and his instructive advice.” Bhattacharya is a Stanford medical professor associated with the right-wing Hoover Institution, who has also informally advised Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) — a potential GOP presidential candidate in 2024 — and has appeared multiple times on Fox News and undermined the COVID-19 vaccines and public vaccination campaigns.Bhattacharya also co-authored the “Great Barrington Declaration,” a reckless libertarian proposal for loosening public health measures in the midst of the pandemic to achieve global “herd immunity.”
Fox’s Special Report covered this rigged “study” as if it were straight news
The study was touted on Monday’s edition of Fox’s flagship “straight” news program, Special Report with Bret Baier. A chyron on screen claimed, “Red states fare better on economic and health outcomes.” But as a close examination of the study reveals — briefly alluded to by Fox News correspondent Jonathan Serrie — this conclusion exists only after the authors made some creative adjustments “for age, obesity, and diabetes."
from the April 11, 2022, edition of Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier
the study was also promoted in stories on Fox’s website, as well as in the editorial pages of the network’s corporate cousins: the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal. FoxNews.com and the New York Post both mentioned the metric of “age-adjusted death rates,” while the Journal was a bit more forthcoming in noting that the study also made adjustments for “the prevalence of obesity and diabetes (leading co-morbidities for Covid deaths).”
The reports in these three Murdoch publications all pointed to the report’s praise of Florida as supposedly one of the best-performing states — a possible sign of Bhattacharya’s influence on both Florida’s policies and this report’s verdict. By contrast, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank has run through numbers from health care analyst Charles Gaba, which found that Florida is actually one of the worst-performing states in COVID-19 death statistics, even accounting for the state’s older population.
Moore also appeared on Monday morning’s edition of Fox Business’ *Varney & Co., during which he claimed, “The big takeaway is that the lockdown strategy was pretty much a total failure. … States that remained open did not have higher death rates from the virus than states that completely shut down.” Serrie later mentioned Moore’s study again, on Tuesday morning’s edition of *America’s Newsroom.
Moore has built a career as possibly the worst economist in the media, making serially wrong pronouncements and false calculations in service of his political agendas.In March 2019, then-President Donald Trump announced his nomination of Moore to the Federal Reserve Board, only for Moore to eventually withdraw from consideration due to multiple controversies over his past political comments.
Committee to Unleash Prosperity rewrites death numbers in red states with a fake statistic: “Metabolic-health adjustment”
In order to arrive at the favored conclusion, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity report actually looked at more than just health outcomes. The group’s press release explains that it used three metrics for its findings — COVID-19 deaths, economic performance, and school openings — and declared they were “equally weighted” in the analysis. The result is that the question of saving lives accounts for only one-third of the calculation. The study also essentially just rehashes in pseudo-scientific form Moore’s long-standing contention that saving lives in the pandemic might not be “worth trillions of dollars of losses” and that simply allowing the virus to spread was “a better strategy” than enduring the economic costs of lockdowns.
The concept of age-adjusted deaths across populations is a tricky issue. While it is a legitimate line of inquiry, Fox News has exploited it ever since the start of the pandemic to create a nonchalant response to COVID-19 deaths among the elderly. Looking at this metric from a neutral source does show some interesting effects, but the ranks of worst-performing states would still be Republican-led ones such as Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Moore and his compatriots at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity have gone even further, however,by setting up a new metric in the fine print of their supposed study. They call it an adjustment for “metabolic health” in different populations — “the pre-pandemic prevalence of obesity and diabetes.” But what it really amounts to is a manipulation of the statistics to declare that higher death tolls should be discounted in populations that were less healthy to begin with, and toact as if public health responses can be separated from the overall health of the public.
Much of the discourse around the role of obesity in COVID-19 deaths has framed it as “another ongoing pandemic,” and the role of diabetes has been addressed in media as a “public health train wreck” and evidence of “America’s diabetes crisis.” But the Committee to Unleash Prosperity instead treats these deaths as somehow a mitigating factor in the public health responses of the states most affected. It’s almost as if, by the standards of Moore and his co-authors, the deaths of unhealthy people are not a problem at all.
As a result of this statistical chicanery, death rates in the South and some other Republican-led states were magically revised downward, while deaths were “adjusted” drastically higher in many Democratic states — skewing the data to make blue states look like the worst offenders.
“NV, NY, NJ, and DC were the four states with the highest metabolic-adjusted mortality, even though none is in the top four without the adjustment,” the report says — as if that were a good thing for the authors’ credibility — because those four places all have obesity and diabetes rates that are below the national average. By contrast, in the real-world statistics they began with, the worst contenders were all red states.
Fox News has waged a two-year propaganda campaign against public health, in which it has lied about COVID-19 vaccines, promoted fake cures, encouraged the spread of the virus, and turned people defying public health measures into culture war heroes even as their actions have gotten them killed. Fox also clearly does not believe any of what it preaches — see its own corporate vaccination and testing policies — but the network nevertheless pursues this framing because it is “great for ratings.”
Who knows, perhaps the network will be able to come up with a study showing that watching Fox News is good for surviving the COVID-19 pandemic, once the analysts can adjust for the comorbidities associated with watching Fox News.

SPN is a web of right-wing “think tanks” and tax-exempt organizations in 50 states, Washington, D.C., Canada, and the United Kingdom. As of January 2022, SPN's membership totals 166. Today's SPN is the tip of the spear of far-right, nationally funded policy agenda in the states that undergirds extremists in the Republican Party. SPN Executive Director Tracie Sharp told the Wall Street Journal in 2017 that the revenue of the combined groups was some $80 million, but a 2019 analysis of SPN's main members IRS filings by the Center for Media and Democracy shows that the combined revenue is over $120 million.[6] Although SPN's member organizations claim to be nonpartisan and independent, the Center for Media and Democracy's in-depth investigation, "EXPOSED: The State Policy Network -- The Powerful Right-Wing Network Helping to Hijack State Politics and Government," reveals that SPN and its member think tanks are major drivers of the right-wing, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)-backed corporate agenda in state houses nationwide, with deep ties to the Koch brothers and the national right-wing network of funders.[7]
In response to CMD's report, SPN Executive Director Tracie Sharp told national and statehouse reporters that SPN affiliates are "fiercely independent." Later the same week, however, The New Yorker's Jane Mayer caught Sharp in a contradiction. In her article, "Is IKEA the New Model for the Conservative Movement?," the Pulitzer-nominated reporter revealed that, in a recent meeting behind closed doors with the heads of SPN affiliates around the country, Sharp "compared the organization’s model to that of the giant global chain IKEA." She reportedly said that SPN "would provide 'the raw materials,' along with the 'services' needed to assemble the products. Rather than acting like passive customers who buy finished products, she wanted each state group to show the enterprise and creativity needed to assemble the parts in their home states. 'Pick what you need,' she said, 'and customize it for what works best for you.'" Not only that, but Sharp "also acknowledged privately to the members that the organization's often anonymous donors frequently shape the agenda. 'The grants are driven by donor intent,' she told the gathered think-tank heads. She added that, often, 'the donors have a very specific idea of what they want to happen.'"[8]
A set of coordinated fundraising proposals obtained and released by The Guardian in early December 2013 confirm many of these SPN members' intent to change state laws and policies, referring to "advancing model legislation" and "candidate briefings." These activities "arguably cross the line into lobbying," The Guardian notes.[9]
