HT over to Mark Perry @ Carpe Diem a few days ago. Mark highlights the unintended (but perfectly predictable) consequences of environmental restrictions on new pipeline development in the Northeast part of the United States. Mr. Perry asks the question: “Why is LNG coming 4,500 miles to Boston from the Russian Arctic when the US […]

to educate high school students on the morality of free markets. Please get the word out to students that you know of that could benefit from this program, 10-13 July right here at Cedarville University. Each of your Bereans will have a speaking role to show the intersection between a biblical worldview and free markets. […]

All economics, all the time
06 Feb 2018
At least in this post…this is a lightening round of some of the issues in the news: Yes the markets are getting whipsawed, even with today’s big move back up. Not surprising; valuations using conventional metrics (such as the market price to earnings multiple) have been extremely high compared to history. One can make the […]

Initial thoughts on House Memo
02 Feb 2018
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) memo on FISA abuse was, as expected, released today. No matter how you slice it, this is an incredibly troubling memo. No one can read this memo and say it doesn’t matter. Either its true, and we have momentous scandal unfolding, or its not true, and the […]

Trump Trolls for Trouble, but Trade Tricked him!
29 Jan 2018

Aahh the perils of a populist president. But at least I can try to think of more words that start off with TR.* So yesterday Mr. Trump declared war on most of America and a few foreigners to support a few jobs in the solar cell and washing machine industries. Let’s just review the standard […]

But don’t smile, you are too. Let’s get to the good losing first. This time of year, there will be many hopeful losers, as membership at Jenny Craig and health clubs will be on the rise. But that’s not the only way one can be a loser and be happy about it. I’m a real loser […]

Jonathan asked a good question in response to our VLOG this past week, and I think it merits a separate response to spell it out. For those that did not watch the video, I basically argued that Christians should be concerned when the pursuit of justice is guided by politics, rather than justice being blind, […]

One thing about modern man, he (and she) want to be modern and pursuing the latest and greatest fashion. This is, of course, nothing very modern at all. Luke recorded the same phenomenon almost 2000 years ago, in his discussion of the Apostle Paul at Mars Hill, where he editorialized: (Now all the Athenians and […]
