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. Welcome to the higher ed reckoning. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

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

Andrew Cuomo wants $20/hour by 2027. A self-proclaimed socialist says $30 by 2030. What’s next—$50? $100? Free caviar with every paycheck? 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? Let the market breathe. Want to destroy businesses? Keep playing pretend economics. Tune in and get real. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

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. If it’s such a great idea, he asks—why not make it permanent? www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

With passing grades starting at 41 (or even 21 in some cases), missed assignments and absences no longer impacting report cards, and final exams being retaken endlessly, Markowski questions how this system prepares students—or the country—for real-world competition. It's comedy meets tragedy in America’s education system. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Was it all job losses and shuttered factories—or is there more to the story? 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
