From the Ivy League hypocrisy and foreign student cash grabs to the rise of trade school demand and the need for skilled labor in energy and AI, it’s time to tear it all down and start over. Want a college system that actually works? That leads to jobs, not debt? Then it's time to defund the administrative bloat and rethink the entire model.

In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street , we take a hard look at how corporate giants like General Motors are bending the knee to whichever political wind is blowing—left, right, or upside down. Mary Barra plays the DC game like a pro, flipping from Trump’s tariffs to Biden’s EV mandates and back again, all while pocketing billions in subsidies and government favors. Is this capitalism? Or is it state-controlled cronyism wrapped in red tape? We connect the dots between appeasement economics, taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the revolving door of political power that’s dictating how American businesses run. From tariffs to tax credits, climate goals to corporate virtue signals—this is the true cost of letting Washington call the plays. Because when CEOs take orders from politicians, we’re not in a free market anymore. We’re in something else entirely. Tune in. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com…

In this no-BS episode of Watchdog on Wall Street , we torch the fantasy economics driving minimum wage hikes and expose the real-world fallout: lost jobs, closed restaurants, and once-vibrant NYC neighborhoods turned into ghost towns of Walgreens and "For Lease" signs. With cultural jabs from Coming to America to Seinfeld , this episode brings the heat on why top-down wage mandates don’t lift people up—they just price them out. Want to help workers?

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.

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…

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.

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.
