Joni Ernst: “We need to protect the taxpayers against fraud. We want to make sure that the dollars are going to those small business…”

While government boondoggles abound, the term is now officially in the law books for the first time. No politician wants their prized pet project to carry that label, but now there's no escaping it.

I’m disappointed that Senate Democrats refused to protect hardworking families from Big Tech companies who can afford to pay their own way.

In 2024 alone, 10,100 million-dollar earners received nearly $97.4 million in unemployment compensation. That amounts to each being paid $9,650, roughly the cost of a new Rolex watch.

Watt’s fair is fair—and passing these costs on to Iowans isn’t.
