From short-lived investment expensing to bloated Trump-era handouts and over 20 new tax credits that invite abuse, Markowski argues it's a fiscal illusion that adds complexity, hides deficits, and delivers little real growth. If it’s such a great idea, he asks—why not make it permanent? www.watchdogonwallstreet.com…

Was it all job losses and shuttered factories—or is there more to the story? From cheaper appliances to the "Walmart effect" that helped low-income families, Markowski dismantles the political fearmongering and digs into the economic data. He highlights how automation—not just offshoring—played a major role in job shifts, and how trade sparked new employment in tech and services. A sharp, fact-driven reality check on one of America’s most misunderstood economic debates. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com…

From due process rights for non-citizens to the dangers of overreach by any branch of government, this is a powerful reminder of why America is a republic, not a pure democracy—and why that distinction matters more than ever. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com…

Now, even he sees the writing on the wall. In this brutally honest segment, we dive into the absurdity of a former White House budget director confessing he "grew skeptical" of deficit concerns—while America spent trillions it didn’t have. With the dollar losing its edge, debt soaring, and politicians from both parties dodging accountability, it’s time to call it what it is: economic malpractice. Printing money isn’t strategy—it's a tax. A quiet, hidden tax that punishes every saver, earner, and investor. Wake up, Washington.

The Scandinavian country just raised its retirement age to 74 for younger workers—an honest response to rising life expectancy and a ticking fiscal clock. So where’s Bernie Sanders, the champion of Nordic-style welfare states, when one of his favorites makes a common-sense reform? In this segment, we break down Denmark’s bold move, the math behind unsustainable retirement systems, and the political cowardice in Washington that’s allowing Social Security to barrel toward a 20% cut. The facts aren’t hard to grasp—people live longer, and the math no longer works. Yet our leaders still kick the can.

In this sharp critique, we unpack the mechanical clichés used to describe the economy—“priming the pump,” “turbocharging growth,” “tapping the brakes”—and explain how these simplistic images distort reality. The economy isn’t a machine. It’s not a car, an engine, or something that can be “fixed” with the push of a button by central planners. It’s a living, breathing system—like nature—and attempts to control or “tune it up” with stimulus, subsidies, or regulation often do far more harm than good. When politicians and pundits mistake complexity for something they can manage, we all pay the price. The solution? Stop trying to fix what isn’t broken. Just step aside and let it breathe. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com…

Drawing comparisons between the free market and nature, this piece exposes the dangers of overregulation, industrial policy, and ideological tinkering by politicians who believe they can control what should remain organic. With insights on economic metaphors, the rhetoric of greed, and the philosophical failings of both MAGA populism and progressive paternalism, we ask: What is the market really?

Whether or not the “Big Beautiful Bill” passes, your taxes are going up—and the truth is in the math that no one in Washington wants to talk about. From expiring Trump-era tax cuts to ballooning Social Security costs, the path we’re on leads to massive debt, higher taxes, and economic instability. This episode gets into: 2017 tax cuts set to expire by 2025, raising taxes across the board Debt-to-GDP could hit 129% with gimmicks made permanent Social Security and Medicare are now driving 100% of spending growth Payroll taxes may need to rise 28% just to stay afloat Real solutions no one is proposing—like giving taxpayers back their Social Security input This is math, not politics.
