Biden’s ‘infrastructure’ plan would cost $809,000 per job

GOP trust-busters are embracing a left-wing agenda

It’s not too often that Republicans embrace the agenda of leftist Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But it’s happening.

Josh Hawley, the young Republican senator from Missouri, has introduced a bill called the Trust-Busting for the Twenty-First Century Act. It may be the most dangerous bill to our economy from a Republican in ages. It would reduce competitiveness, cost millions of jobs, penalize companies for growing and being profitable, kill funding for small-business startups, and empower unprecedented new regulatory powers to the deep state lawyers and bureaucrats in Washington.

Hawley is no fan of the politics of Big Tech (who is?), so he wants to put new teeth into antitrust laws that were birthed during America’s first “Progressive Era.” His bill would:

1. Ban mergers and acquisitions by firms with a market cap of over $100 billion.
2. Change the standard of “monopolistic” behavior from causing “consumer harm” to one that emphasizes “the protection of competition.”
3. Significantly expand the power of federal regulatory agencies to rein in domestic firms in the high-tech sector.

Hawley, whose background is as a lawyer (of course), defends his bill by saying: “This country and this government shouldn’t be run by a few megacorporations.” The Republican Party “has got to become the party of trust-busting once again.”

Yikes. That’s like saying we should bring back smallpox.

Trust-busting is based on the century-old leftist fairy tale that says rapacious “robber barons had taken over America.” Economist Burt Folsom exploded these liberal lies in his classic book The Myth of The Robber Barons, which shows definitively that J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Andrew Mellon, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller were anything but villains who raped consumers with their monopolistic behavior and “stockpiles of wealth.”

In a surprisingly brazen article, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” Time magazine chronicles a myriad of pre-and- post-election actions taken by a loose coalition of Democratic operatives, grassroots activists, mainstream media, tech companies, and corporate CEOs before and after the 2020 presidential election.

According to the article, the effort consisted of “a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.”

In the post-election days, the author refers to this disparate grouping of players as a “conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs” resulting in an “informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans.”

Although the words “cabal” and “conspiracy” are used to describe the sweeping activities of these groups, collectively referred to as the Shadow Campaign, the article’s author takes pains to note that these efforts weren’t aimed at “rigging the election; they were fortifying it.”

Indeed, throughout the article, there is the repeated claim that these efforts were made not with the intention of subverting the election, but rather as part of a heroic grassroots movement intent on salvaging our democracy and preserving the integrity of this and future elections.
