Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana talked a good while with Larry Kudlow about what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been saying about the economy at large, and high prices especially, Thursday.<br /><br />They covered a lot of ground in the interview, but two parts really stood out for me. For one thing, Kennedy talking about the three-prong approach to getting the economy back on track in a way that works for everyday Americans, gets prices down and basically can start to undo the insane damage that Democrat liberal policies championed by the MSM have done.<br /><br />And he pointed out that of the three important measures, it’s spending cuts that get the most attention because, and I quote, “when you trim fat, pigs squeal!”<br /><br />As usually I’d like to remind you that who the squealing pig tofu crowd isn’t just libs and Democrats, it’s the “mainstream” media (but I repeat myself) who take it as a given that liberal economic policy rules and conservative ideas are cruel and unusual, or whatever words they’re drumming up lately to voice their squealin’ and hollerin’. Save, of course, for a few rare exceptions like Fox and Newsmax etc.<br /><br />It’s like I always say. There’s never a bad enough thing that some share of the press won’t call it awesome. And the share increases proportionally with how nutty left wing the thing is.<br /><br />If I knew Latin I’d close with some kind of clever phrase like “ipso facto” or “carpe diem” or “veni, vidi, vici” or something. But, you know, I don’t, SO … Q.E.D.
