David Schweikert

Already well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target.

Representative David Schweikert, that's another interesting last name, has vowed to fight it, warning that interest rates could climb.

Not that struggling folks wouldn't appreciate it, Back in March of 2021, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan was called the most, quote, the most popular economic rescue plan in my lifetime by Representative Brendan Boyle.

Even on a homestead, free feed is always popular, but at the end of the day, it gets paid for by the livestock.

Former Representative Bob Good of Virginia, one-time chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, called it a socialist vote-buying scheme that would cost nearly $1 trillion.

Representative David Schweikert of Arizona, who is leaving Congress at the end of his term, told Reuters he would throw everything of his heart and soul to stop it because it would actually do more damage to working people than would ever help them.

It would raise interest rates, he said, land on the country's own credit card and bring the interest rate death spiral sooner to the United States.

The fiscal objection is real.

Big time

... competition for David Schweikert's old seat.

So it's gonna be coming down to the wire, especially on those House races, but also statewide races.

Again, these are the same-

In fact, it is such lack of such fiscal responsibility that has caused and created so much Republican disappointment with the Congress and depressed so much Republican voter turnout.

Second, just how radical is an organization whose leadership includes Ohio Representative Jim Jordan and Florida Representative Byron Donalds? Both, as many or most of the members, like David Schweikert, a founder of the Freedom Caucus, are garden variety conservatives.

The caucus was successful, however, in cleansing itself of one of the most irresponsible members, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who, by the way, has renounced her membership in the Republican Party.

You get the point though, don't you? All Republicans are to be deemed extreme, be they Republicans like Jim Jordan or be they Republicans like Mitt Romney, who, let us not forget, Joe Biden told a Black audience wanted to put them in chains.

Calvin Coolidge's political philosophy is not extreme.

Lenin's and Marx's and Mao's are.

And yes, your AOCs and Zohran Mamdanis have a lot more pull on the Democratic Party than, say, David Schweikert on the responsible side or Marjorie Taylor Greene on the irresponsible side ever did.

So, too, will be the case with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and a great many other Islamist and Marxist candidates who are running for and will win their races.

Democrats are running it back in an open district in Arizona with the same candidate as two years ago against a longtime former NFL kicker.

Representative David Schweikert, Republican, passed on a re-election bid this year for an unsuccessful run for governor, leaving Arizona's first district open.

Democrats re-nominated former State Representative Amish Shah, who lost to Schweikert by a few points in twenty twenty-four, while Republicans turned to Jay Feely, who played for more than a half dozen NFL teams over a fourteen-year career.

Shah and Feely will face each other at eight PM EDT Wednesday.
