Why? Entitlements. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid continue to grow at breakneck speed, while waste, fraud, and abuse remain largely untouched.From tariffs acting as a hidden tax to welfare programs like TANF being treated as state-level slush funds, the issue isn’t revenue—it’s spending priorities and zero accountability. Until entitlement growth and oversight are taken seriously, record revenues won’t fix what’s broken.
