For kids, for sure, if you follow “The Science.” That’s the conclusion of Jeffrey Anderson in this data-driven review fantastically titled, “Kids full of life, Adults obsessed with death.” In general, there has been a dearth of evidence showing that any area that had mask mandates had death rates different from those that don’t, but […]

Conventional wisdom has certainly joined this Berean’s opinion that the next election is going to find the Democrats deeply underwater. We warned that inflation is one of those most sticky issues that everyone feels, and those that tolerate it pay the political price.* It’s not that we’re that great at political prognostication–it’s just that we’re […]

Our national debt has now crested $30T, with a gigantic yawn from the Biden Administration, the national media, and yes, most economists. The debt doesn’t matter, you see “we owe it to ourselves.” And besides interest rates are low, markets are begging the government the government to spend (as former Federal Reserve Vice-Chair Alan Blinder […]

Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the […]

Today’s release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) finally topped 7%, which is the highest rate since 1982, and if you applied the same index methodology used back in 1980, we have now slightly topped the 1980 experience.
