Buzz: Feds owe $815,788 in household debt; Trump and Levin enjoy well-done steaks

Former President Donald Trump has been widely mocked for eating steak well done and with ketchup. But he has an ally in radio talk show biggie Mark Levin.

“We like our steaks well done,” Levin told Trump on his show this week.

Trump laughed his food critics off. “We eat food that some people say is not the healthiest for us, but we’re still kicking, and a lot of people aren’t,” he said as Levin laughed.

“Hey Mark, who knows what’s good? Maybe the stuff that’s bad is really the stuff that’s good, right?” Trump said.

• Our friend Clyde Wayne Crews, the regulations expert at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, has done the math of what households “owe” in government costs, and it’s not pretty. He figures the national debt puts an $800,000 per household weight on. Regulations add another $15,788. Since most of us pay taxes through paycheck withholding, we don’t really see the costs of government. So Crews has a way to wake everyone up: eliminate withholding and force people to write a check to the U.S. Treasury every year to cover their “costs.” That, he said, would make “the size and scope of government unmistakably clear.”
