The American taxpayer is trapped in a multi-billion-dollar cycle of state-sponsored economic distortion. Under the banner of national security, green transitions, and economic resilience, Washington has institutionalized a system of corporate welfare that forces everyday citizens to pay twice for the same goods.

First, Americans see their tax dollars confiscated to fund corporate subsidies, tax credits, and government bailouts. Then, they head to the grocery store, the gas pump, and the car dealership, only to face artificially inflated prices caused by the very interventions they funded.
