Shut It Down!

Three shocking statistics:

1. One year ago, 85% of US job market growth was in government and sectors dependent on government spending like health and education.

2. In 2024, one third of GDP came from government spending, a record high excluding periods of war or crisis; this was financed by 6-7% budget deficits, another peacetime record.

3. Every G20 country has higher average tariff rates than the United States save two, and most countries hide the true costs in expensive barriers like quotas, price controls, labeling requirements, and testing rules.
