Individual Income Tax Payments on Pace to Reach Record Level - WSJ
CBO director Phillip Swagel said. “It’s a mystery. It’s a maybe happy mystery, to have strong revenues.”
Yeah, now instead of taxpayers using their own money to purchase goods and services in their communities, we can use it to send nude drawings into space or pay other people’s beer pong bills!

New Options for Using Leftover ‘529’ Plan Funds - WSJ
The Helping Parents Save for College Act would, in limited circumstances, let participants transfer or roll over some 529 account funds into a Roth IRA. To do so, the account would have to be open for at least 10 years and the rollover money would have to be in the account for at least five years.
Solid proposal.

Book Review: The Revolution that Wasn’t 📚
June 4,2022The GameStop rally was a crazy story last year, that I followed like everyone else. I think that _The Wall Street Journal_ did an excellent job of trying to explain it in real time.
Now, 18 months later and the dust settled, the real story is getting out. It was a craze like any other, that left the individual investor carrying losses and the operators of Wall Street richer than before.
The great thing about this story is not that its a cautionary tale that individual investors can’t win. It’s a reminder that the way to beat Wall Street is to simply not play their game.
Would I recommend: YES

A Reading From Kamala Harris to the Corinthians - WSJ Opinion
First nationalize student loans claiming this will save money for taxpayers. Next let students pile up debt at for-profit colleges. Then prosecute those colleges for fraud and put them out of business. Then forgive all the debt and stick taxpayers with the bill.

John Durham vs. the Beltway Swamp - WSJ Opinion
The trial environment was no less intimate. Judge Christopher Cooper worked with Mr. Sussmann at the Clinton Justice Department in the 1990s. Merrick Garland, today attorney general, officiated at the judge’s marriage to Amy Jeffress, an Obama Justice Department official and now a private lawyer representing former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. And on and on the special circles go, down to the judge’s refusal to grant prosecutors’ request to dismiss a juror who admitted her daughter is on the same crew team as Mr. Sussmann’s child.
Gross.

How the Pro-Life Democrat Went Extinct - WSJ Opinion
It’s ironic that the Democratic Party, which is ostensibly built around the defense of the weak and the marginalized, is so fervidly committed to the right to kill the most vulnerable.

“Listen, folks, It’s too late to lower gas prices. No one knows how to do that,” said the President. “So we’re just gonna keep raising those prices higher until all the little number signs on the price boards go back to zero! Those signs can only go up to $9.99, so we’re already almost there!”

When Progressives Fail, Inflation Edition - WSJ Opinion
“I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told CNN on Tuesday, referring to a 2021 comment that there was a “small risk” of inflation.
To those hoping the Fed will get its act together and fix this: remember that Yellen is the former Fed Chair and deeply steeped in the Fed’s way of thinking.
Doesn’t inspire confidence.

Upholding Roe v. Wade Is Supported by Most Americans, WSJ Poll Finds - WSJ
Some 57% of respondents said a woman should be able to obtain a legal abortion if she wants it for any reason, the highest share since NORC began asking the question every few years starting in 1977.
If you’re wondering why our society is so violent, start here. 57% of Americans think a mother has a legal right to kill their child based on any whim or excuse.
Our sense of justice is rightly violated over acts of mass murder, but we’re completely anesthetized to the thousands of children killed by elective abortion every day of the week.
We are the problem and we are the solution.
