Data Point – It is a V shaped recovery! CNN calls it “incomplete”

October 30, 2020October 29, 2020 Skip

CNN just WISHES that the Biden-Obama years long recovery had looked like that. Of COURSE it’s “incomplete” but of COURSE, it’s like a rocket at liftoff (at least right now). What else would you think that the Never-Trumpers at CNN would say? Frankly, I am astounded that it is rising as fast as it is, … Read more

Intervention From the Heavens

October 3, 2020October 3, 2020

Just when the Washington creatures were ready to spend another $3 trillion the lights came on. We don’t need the extension of weekly central government supplements to unemployment benefits. We need to go back to work. The economic data came forth showing Americans are getting back to work in record numbers.

“What Questions Should we Put to Politicians Itching to Intervene into the Economy?”

August 1, 2020 Skip

“I am a Libertarian because I learned economics.” I am a Conservatarian because of a line that Prof. Don Boudreaux mentions below that I first read, in a different form, in Robert Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.”

Notable Quote – Prof. Don Boudreaux

…This system of prices and wages conveys reasonably reliable information to each individual about the consequences that will be experienced not only by her, but also by other people – most of them complete strangers – as a result of her choice of how to use her resources.

Why Is the Black Constituency So Hard Core Democrat?

May 25, 2020 Percy Blakeney

Academia and the media are involved in peddling a narrative. Black America has bought the narrative they are pushing lock, stock, and barrel. The narrative is: Once upon a time, a long, long time ago the GOP used to be the party of black America. The Democrat Party was the racist party.

Today’s Sununu Presser: “My job is to be the central economic planner for NH”

May 9, 2020 Skip

SHOT: Gov. Chris Sununu: “My job is to be the central economic planner for NH” That’s what a tipster just sent me a few minutes ago. The video is up on Facebook by WMUR here: https://www.facebook.com/wmur9/videos/vb.6439768716/1917626108370329/?type=2&theater.

The Global Warming “More Snow” or “Less Snow” Paradox

April 10, 2023April 19, 2020 Steve MacDonald

A few decades back, we were told by ‘experts’ that not long from then (meaning before now), our children would not know snow. Yet another emotional plea to convince us to embrace massive tax hikes and the minimization of our lifestyles.

More Bad News for Democrats: Trump Wasn’t Just Right About China

March 11, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It is difficult to find something Donald Trump has said, done, or suggested that Democrats have not contradicted or equated with impending doom. It’s so bad that there jokes about asking The Donald to oppose the Second Amendment or support abortion so we can watch Democrats reflexively do the opposite.

Your Plastic Bag “BANK” Authorized by State Government

January 30, 2020 Skip

In a literal sense (and no small amount of tongue-in-cheek), if you have to pay for them you’ve got a “bank” of bags. It adds up! And he could make money by standing in front of the store’s entrance and go “Psst – 10 bags for 4 cents each, a 20% discount from Big Bags!”

Trump Ratchets Up Economic War with Iran – New Sanctions on Iron and Textiles

Socialism Couldn’t Save the Glaciers Even if They Needed Saving (But it Will Ruin America)

January 2, 2020 Steve MacDonald

One of my favorite stories from 2019 came out of Glacier National Park. The “government’s official position” per the experts in Montana was that by 2020 the park would be glacier free. When it became apparent that it was a lie, they quietly changed signs and displays.

Left-Wing Experts Agree, “Climate Change” is About Economics (Socialism) Not Climate

November 9, 2021December 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The American left has let the mask drop on socialism. Their candidates for president are running on it. So, isn’t it about time we accept the truth when they admit Climate Change is not about the climate – it’s about advancing socialism?

Keysnian vs Marxism vs Austrian Economics
