It’s time to set the record straight on prices. They’re not just random numbers set by sellers—they’re powerful signals that reflect what the market is willing to pay for goods and services. But when the government steps in—through price controls, subsidies, or bailouts—those…
Great price in @WSJ by @PeterBoettke and @Marian_L_Tupy on how people in the marketplace can deal AI. Read: wsj.com/opinion/algori…
🔎Want a sharper view of public debt across #txlege House districts? @JBorregoTX breaks it down with summaries, total school district debt, avg ISD expenditures, bond election turnout & vote breakdowns. Highly recommend: texaspolicy.com/public-debt-pr…
1⃣ The first-called special #txlege session starts today (runs through Aug 20) 2⃣ 18 items are on the agenda (expect potential additions, maybe even the New World Screw Worm) 3⃣ Political calculus is in play on what gets heard first—quorum concerns + power plays
Special session begins today and can last for up to thirty days.
End the Fed.
Today in a CNBC interview, I called for a review of the Federal Reserve. It is my belief that the central bank should conduct an exhaustive internal review of its non-monetary policy operations. Significant mission creep and institutional growth have taken the Fed into areas that…
I just filed SB 12 the Ban on taxpayer funded lobbying, let’s drain the swamp, defund the the deep state and get SB 12 passed! Thank you @GregAbbott_TX for putting the ban on taxpayer funded lobbying on the agenda and @DanPatrick for making this bill a priority of the Senate!

I plugged the estimate for OBBB into the latest baseline. In 2034, spending will be 23.8% of GDP and revenue will be 17.1%. For comparison, from 1969-2019 we averaged spending of 20.3% and revenue of 17.4%. Deficits are still overwhelmingly driven by elevated spending!
Degrowthers, you have a problem…
🧵Now available! My paper with Ashruta Acharya and Alek Psrurek on the most generous engagement with the most influential "model" of degrowth. TLDR: It doesnt hold empirically. It predicts the opposite.
Just when you think Republicans’ ideas are bad, were reminded Democrats’ are worse.
Texas Democrats holding press conference right now, saying they will leave all options on the table, including breaking quorum, to thwart special session. They are introducing themselves by using their pronouns. When will they learn? #txlege

No institution has more power over your money than the Federal Reserve, yet it operates in the shadows. My Federal Reserve Transparency Act will finally audit the Fed’s books, expose wasteful spending, and hold them accountable to the American people. washingtonexaminer.com/news/3475425/r…
🚨Today I filed HB139 to REPEAL the Hollywood tax subsidy program... and redirect every penny to lowering property taxes! SB22 was a California style, socialist abomination. Liberal Hollywood should never be prioritized over Texas taxpayers!
Better yet, $3.1 billion is available for tax relief during the first called special session in Texas that starts today. Lower tax rates, don’t raise loopholes.
Inbox: @KHancock4TX has informed #txlege there is $3.1 billion available for general purpose spending during 89(1). comptroller.texas.gov/transparency/r…

“Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?” sang Pete Seeger in his 1960s protest ballad. If he were singing today, his question might be directed toward America’s healthcare system: “Where have all the care dollars gone, long time waiting?” The answer is as tragic as…
