Living Costs Expected To Grow In Pennsylvania — Carmerla Ciliberti’s latest podcast includes the dire warning that tax hikes are coming to Pennsylvania and life is going to get harder for Pennsylvanians.
Gov. Josh Shapiro promised these policies in last week’s budget address and Carmela doesn’t see the useless drones int the State House and Senate stopping them.
“Politicians from both sides of the aisle are more than happy to confiscate individual and corporate earnings to grow government bureaucracy,” she said.
The constitutionally required but still oft-ignored deadline for passing the budget is June 30.

She includes some excellent sound bits from the late Milton Friedman.
I am always saddened that people vote for progressives like Shapiro. But I understand that a charlatan like Shapiro tells people what they want to hear, and they vote their own narrow self-interest, like junkies looking for their next score. That’s all they think about.
And then I remember the oft-repeated statement, attributed in various forms to many different authors, that a republic will endure until the citizens realize that they can vote themselves funds from the public treasury.
“A republic, madam, if you can keep it.”
Carmela plays a clip of our governor telling how he is going to stick it to those in the rich zip codes. The gang at Stradley Ronon laugh and slap their knees.
