The Becker Report – January 2023

Beckerisms

U.S. Debt Ceiling

Economic Collapse?

The major media has been breathlessly reporting on how the “crazy right-wing Republicans” in the U.S. House could bring down the economy by failing to increase the national debt ceiling.
These same media outlets have failed to recognize that the opposite is true.

If the unsustainable and reckless borrowing and spending continues, an economic collapse is inevitable.
John Becker

Those “crazy right-wing Republicans” understand this and are trying “right the ship” before it sinks.

Upside-down World

Word Games – a few examples:

Killing pre-born babies (homicide by abortion) is now called “healthcare.” They used to call it “choice.”
Antifa domestic terrorists are now called “activists.”
Sex change operations are now called “gender affirming care.”
“They” and “them” had always been plural but now may be singular.
Censorship is now called “content moderation.”
Gun control is now called “gun safety.”
Both global warming and global cooling are now called “man-made climate change.”
Illegal aliens are now called “undocumented immigrants” or “migrant workers.”
Amnesty is now called “comprehensive immigration reform.”
Street people and hobos are now called “homeless.” (Not all “homeless” are hobos.)
Homosexuals are now called “gay.”
Jungles are now called “rainforests.”

Union Township welcomes new and growing businesses

Currently, only the Inter Parish Ministry food pantry is under construction. The timing of many of the below projects have been changing. We anticipate that visible work on some of these will begin in the spring.

Pending Trustee approval, Panda Express is looking to raze the car wash next to the Union Township library and build a new location there.
Honda East has submitted plans to expand its operations on Ohio Pike.
Inter Parish Ministry has a food pantry under construction across from Gold Star Chili in Mt. Carmel.
PetSuites is planning a new location on Old SR 74 next to Office Max.
TQL will be adding an additional 1,000 jobs at its sprawling UT campus. The new southern wing will look similar to their recently added northern wing.
Kroger plans to demolish Sears and build a new 123,722 square foot Kroger Marketplace store detached from the mall. The store will include a Starbucks, drive through pharmacy, expanded deli, expanded bakery, a Murray Cheese section, sushi, expanded adult beverage section, apparel, home goods, expanded grocery section, and a Kroger fuel center with 18 fuel pumps. The fuel will be on the recently shuttered Wendy’s side of the parking lot. The northeast side of the store will have a parking area for on-line pickup. The current Kroger store on Eastgate Boulevard will likely close in coordination with opening the new Kroger Marketplace store.
Outback Steakhouse is planning a new restaurant near Meijer’s where the old Starbucks and a video store used to be.
Take 5 Oil Change will be building on the site of an old shuttered Wendy’s near the corner of Ohio Pike and Nine Mile Road.
