New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is in hot water. His handling of nursing homes during the pandemic was tragically flawed and his attempted coverup of the blunders has heightened the scandal. The governor has also been accused of sexual harassment by a former aide.

I reported on the governor’s policies in Cato’s fiscal report card. Cuomo received the worst grade of “F” in the 2020 report for his large tax and spending increases.

President Biden and the Democrats are including $350 billion in aid for the states in their $1.9 trillion stimulus bill. But state and local budgets are in decent shape, and finances will continue to improve as the economy recovers. Further state handouts are not needed.

President Biden has proposed doubling the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour.

President Biden’s views on labor unions are archaic.

As part of his $1.9 trillion relief plan, President Joe Biden proposes to double the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $15 per hour.

President Biden’s push to spend another $1.9 trillion on economic relief is surreal given that government budgets are vastly ballooned already.

After all the security breaches at both the congressional complex and White House over the years, and the many large protests in the city, you would think that the Capitol Police would have been better prepared.

Congress is debating another aid package for the states and private sector. Further aid for the states is a bad idea.

The health crisis and office shutdowns in New York, San Francisco, and other cities have prompted companies to liberalize their policies on remote working.

The problem with democracy is that after the election, half the country is going to feel as unhappy as this tortured fellow.
