Last Friday , President Biden unveiled his $6 trillion budget proposal . Under his plan, government spending will rise to levels not seen since World War II. Large investments in climate change, transportation, and education headline the proposal.
“Build back better” has been a common refrain of the Biden administration. The COVID-19 pandemic crashed much of the economy, but with increasing vaccination rates and recent promising jobs reports it appears that America is ready to reopen.
The federal government can encourage economic growth; mainly, however, this involves doing less, not more.
To encourage entrepreneurship, the administration should focus on reducing regulatory barriers for startups . To enhance competition and give U.S. firms the best access to innovation, the administration should slash tariffs on products that are critical to key U.S. industries (absurdly, the opposite is happening ). To encourage innovation in technology, the federal government can eliminate visa caps and onerous barriers for high‐skill foreign workers . And lawmakers should abandon efforts to impose a higher federal minimum wage , so businesses can offer fair market wages commensurate with their particular region.
The best way to encourage economic growth is to remove government barriers. The U.S. economy is recovering. The question is how much an overexuberant expansion of federal policy will slow it down.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
