Media and Democrats have blamed President Donald Trump for country-wide riots that began following Floyd’s death, and have pushed the Biden campaign to condemn the rioting. CNN’s Don Lemon called for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to stop ignoring the rioting in August, adding that Biden should suggest the incidents are due to Trump.
CNN’s Don Lemon says that the riots across the country have to stop because it might hurt the Democrats’ chances in November: “It’s showing up in the polling. It’s showing up in the focus groups.”pic.twitter.com/s6lea8slwr — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) August 26, 2020
Biden has previously blamed Trump for “fanning the flames of hate and division” following violence in Portland. A Biden advertisement also blamed Trump for rioting, while also establishing his campaign’s position on the rioting and looting.
“Rioting is not protesting,” Biden said during the advertisement as images of unrest flashed on the screen. “Looting is not protesting. It’s lawlessness, plain and simple. And those who do it should be prosecuted. Fires are burning and we have a president who fans the flames. He can’t stop the violence because for years he’s fomented it.”

The Federal Government Spent $50,000 Per Household In 2020. The Middle Class Will Carry The Burden, Expert Says

Federal spending per American household increased to a record $ 50,000 during 2020 , according to a budget chart book organized by Brian Riedl , senior fellow in budget , tax , and economics at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research .
Between spending from the pandemic , Social Security , Medicare , defense and veterans , the amount spent per household increased by $ 15,000 in one year , according to graphs Riedl arranged , based on publicly available government data .
“ Nearly the entire $ 15,000 per household increase is related to coronavirus .
That is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Daily Caller .
“ It is by far the highest spending level in American history.

“ Federal spending should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ household once the recession and coronavirus ends , but then it ratchets right back up over $ 40,000 per household by the end of the decade , ” Riedl said .
In the next three decades , spending could reach a staggering $ 62,000 per household , adjusted for inflation , by 2050 .

“ If people say ‘ who cares if government spending is rising , ’ my concern is at a certain point taxes will follow , and if we don ’ t want to see enormous middle class tax increases , we absolutely have to get spending under control , ” he added .

Federal spending per American household increased to a record $50,000 during 2020, according to a budget chart book organized by Brian Riedl, senior fellow in budget, tax, and economics at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.

The chart shows consistent increases in spending per household since 1990, when the amount adjusted for inflation was at $23,977. The chart peaks during times of economic turmoil, like the Great Recession in 2007, when federal spending per household reached $28,828, and the pandemic.
“Federal spending should drop down to about $37,000 per household once the recession and coronavirus ends, but then it ratchets right back up over $40,000 per household by the end of the decade,” Riedl said.
In the next three decades, spending could reach a staggering $62,000 per household, adjusted for inflation, by 2050. The major driver of long-term spending, Riedl said, is Social Security and Medicare.

“Most other parts of the budget are actually not rising that much over the long term. Defense spending has been pretty stable, non-defense discretionary spending has been pretty stable. It’s entirely a Social Security and Medicare issue long term,” he explained.
Many of the millions of Americans who lost their jobs and health insurance due to coronavirus-related shutdowns are enrolling in Medicaid, another public health insurance program that provides health care to low-income Americans. Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families found a 2.8% increase in Medicaid enrollments between February and April.
Riedl expects Medicaid rolls to continue increasing, along with food stamps and other means-tested programs. Even if the poverty rate falls, these programs have seen an increase in enrollments during times of relative economic stability.
“The poverty rate was falling before the recession, but you still have SNAP costs and caseloads rising,” he said. “One challenge is that government dependency grows even during good times, but given the recession we’re in and that we may be in for longer than we had hoped, it’s inevitable that government dependency is going to continue to grow, especially in government programs like Medicaid and food stamps.”
Money can’t be pulled from thin air, either, Riedl explained. When federal spending increases, Americans can expect their taxes to rise, too, especially if they’re middle class.
“Ultimately the danger is this: as governments go spend $50,000 per household, eventually they’ll have to tax $50,000 per household. We can’t run $3 trillion deficits, or even $1 or $2 trillion deficits forever. Eventually there’s going to be a day of reckoning when taxes are going to have to rise drastically,” Riedl said.
