I thought Biden’s Inaugural Address was an opportunity to begin to restore a modicum of civility to public discourse. He blew it, deliberately or inadvertently. I don’t know which. Heather MacDonald takes it apart with her rapier mind.
This is an excellent summary of what is a terrible idea – raising the national minimum wage. It is most bad for the people it ostensibly helps. Biden’s recommendation on this makes me wonder about the quality of his economic advisors.
Critical Race Theory sounds like a scientific look at something. It’s not. It is scientifically unsound and morally bankrupt.
This is an extraordinarily important article that captures the essence of the issues we have with our most important allies in Europe. Relations are sour with many of those countries, but its not because of personality differences with European leaders who disagree with Trump’s America First policy. it is because they view their strategic interests as different from ours and they want us to more heavily weigh their interests. They want broad and deep economic arrangements with countries that our adversaries – China, Russia and Iran – most notably while having us provide a security blanket for them and supporting their efforts to greater economic linkages to our enemies. Biden thinks he can solve the relationship problem but he can do so only by betraying American interests. On this one, I sincerely hope I’m wrong , but I fear I am not. Unfortunately, Biden is not particularly smart and his advisors love signed agreements too much.
This is an article that highlights two different problems. The first is that Biden’s most senior appointees are retreads from previous Democrat administrations who believe in the theory that decisions are best made by technical experts who know the science and the facts. The second is that these experts always, always go as far as they can in extending their power. Regulatory modesty is impossible in government.
Biden’s theory of the climate change involves reducing the use of fossil fuels as the end product of energy production. To that end, he must appoint religious adherents of this sect to key positions. Ms Granholm is one of the high priestesses who has demonstrated fully her ability to sacrifice tax payer dollars on this altar. Amazing incompetence as an investor of public money combined with absolute assurance she is right. She’ll now be in a position to throw away billions of dollars and not learn a thing.
Hunter’s emails continue to show the depth of the Biden corruption in the Burisma scandal. We are beginning to learn the basis for the arrangement with Burisma, the money involved and the reasons Burisma was interested.
What the press hailed as a unity speech by Biden was actually a very divisive one, again raising the issue of “systemic racism”, a flaw attributed to President Trump and all his white supporters. Why “systemic”? Because no one can actually point to an individual who is making decisions because of racism. And, if its systemic, its the fatal flaw in all white people. Heather nails the double standard in his speech and in the reaction to it.
Phil Gramm is a very astute economist as well as a successful politician. Here’s his take on Biden’s economic policy and its implications for our economy.
