(The Daily Signal) – Instead of alleviating rising debt burdens, Joe Biden’s student loan debt “forgiveness” has caused recipients to take on additional non-student loan debts, a new economic analysis shows. The data shows that the beneficiaries responded not only by taking on more debt but also by working and earning less—the opposite of the intended effect.

(The Daily Signal) – Despite the Biden-Harris administration’s “whole of government” attempt to increase unionization, the percentage of American workers belonging to unions notched down each of the past four years of their administration. Marking yet another record low, 9.9% of American workers belonged to unions in 2023. This follows a steady decline from 13.4% at the turn of the century in 2000, and from a high of about 33.5% in the mid-1950s.

As federal agencies are spending as much as possible before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20, federal employees’ unions are trying to lock in multiyear contracts that will foil the Trump administration’s plans for greater accountability and efficiency across the federal workforce.

Lame ducks never make for good policy. Having passed a lame duck vote in the House, H.R. 82, the so-called Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 is now set for a lame duck Senate vote. Despite its name, the Social Security Fairness Act is neither fair, nor accurate, nor fiscally responsible. It violates Social Security’s progressive nature, creates unequal benefits based on inaccurate earnings histories, and would cost Social Security $196 billion over the next 10 years.

As many Americans shopped for Black Friday deals, the Biden-Harris administration released annual data on improper payments showing that the federal government spent at least $161 billion of taxpayers’ money sending payments to the wrong people and in the wrong amounts in fiscal year 2024. Although this amount marked a decrease from the pandemic-era average of $238 billion per year in improper payments between 2020 and 2023, $161 billion is still an egregious amount.

Employers and workers may not realize it, but they just dodged a bullet. They can thank a federal judge in Texas who, on Nov. 15, tossed out a Biden administration rule that tried to increase the salary threshold for overtime pay by 65 percent, from $35,568 to $58,656 per year (a range that includes about 12 million workers). That new threshold would have exceeded the earnings of more than 70 percent of workers in lower-cost states like Arkansas, Mississippi, South Dakota and West Virginia.
