By Wolf Richter While the Fed is still printing $120 billion a month and repressing short-term rates to near 0% in the most monstrously overstimulated economy. The lowest lowball inflation measure that the US government releases, the PCE price index without food and energy rose by 3.64% in September, compared to a year ago, the hottest inflation […]

By Wilfred M. Mcclay Mcclay There is no denying that we live in disturbingly anxious and contentious times. Apocalyptic assertions, profanity-laden tirades, public shaming tactics, and crude weapons of moral accusation have increasingly taken the place of rational discourse and the steadfast rule of law. There is something ominous in the air, a faint but […]
By Thomas C. Patterson Most of the attention of our nation’s business entities is focused on attempts to win government favors. That’s typical of political economies sliding into corruption mode.

By Fred Lucas The State Department’s admission that three times as many Americans remain in Afghanistan as officials originally estimated marks the most recent controversy resulting from President Joe Biden’s hasty withdrawal of troops.

More […]
By Neland Nobel A new poll just released suggests that more than one-third of Americans not only believe the last election cycle was flawed but flawed in such a serious way that 35% of Americans believe the results should be overturned.
