Liberals seem to get quieter every day that the country improves and moves towards greatness under Trump. Many of their fronts have become quiet over the weeks, and there are few desperate pockets of anti-Trumpism left. As a president, he’ll always be criticized, but the country is coming in line. In light of that, and … Continue reading “Obama Vs Bush: Who Was the Real War Monger?”

Trump was one of the first politicians in an age to bring awareness to U.S. trade deficits. His business experience made the problem obvious to him, but most Americans were completely unaware. Slow job growth has largely been due to our lack of exports. Thankfully, Trump has made important promises in regards to the issue, … Continue reading “How U.S. Exports Are Already Reviving”

Trump hit the gates running when he took office, and he has signed a slew of executive orders. He’s assaulting the problems that were so key to his campaign, and many were taken aback by the fervor with which he went to task. So, just how much has he changed the system after a few … Continue reading “The Scope of Trump’s Work So Far”

There are few silver linings when it comes to this nation’s monetary policy, especially for those who watch their fortunes evaporate on the whims of Janet Yellen’s great crusade to manipulate unemployment statistics to make Obama look good. Perhaps the only redeeming aspect of the entire Fed is the fact that our taxpayer dollars do … Continue reading “The Great Inflation Riddle”

Much more than a single ocean separates North America from Europe. Differences in everything from the meaning of football to the edibility of snails make these two regions profoundly dissimilar despite a wealth of shared heritage. Some aspects of our cultures have found mutual overlap, such as the Finnish mobile game Angry Birds or the … Continue reading “The Slow Death of American Cars in Europe”

Trump and China have developed a rhetoric that many have found frightening. The talks of currency manipulation and reducing trade deficits sound like early shots of a trade war, and such a war could have negative impacts on both countries. For those who have followed Trump’s career a little more carefully, the purpose of Trump’s … Continue reading “The Trump Effect: China Makes Big Change in Response to Trump’s Hard Line against Them”

If we can say that one man launched the philosophy of conservatism as we know it today, that man must be Scottish economist Adam Smith, whose ground-breaking text The Wealth of Nations set the standards for capitalism as we know it over the past three centuries. Smith explained the value of capital, markets, investments, and returns at … Continue reading “Luxury Spending and the Wealth Effect”

You can make a convincing argument that nearly any of the acts of cronyism and incompetence of Barack Obama’s presidency have done or will do long-term damage to our nation. Perhaps no decision he made had greater ramifications, however, than the decision to bail out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae the two mortgage-security enterprises whose … Continue reading “Public Houses and Private Interests”

The game of professional baseball has enough statistics to occupy the full-time talents of MIT’s entire department of mathematics. However, one statistic looms tall above all others: batting average. That’s because batting average isn’t just a good arbiter of a player’s performance, but a suggestion of their performance relative to the past and the future. … Continue reading “The Dream of 3%”

For years, the statistic trumpeted by the news media and politicians as proof that the United States trails behind many industrialized nations in Asia and Europe has been the trade deficit, which currently stands at some $502 billion overall, with China accounting for some $347 billion of that and Mexico accounting for $63.2 billion (a … Continue reading “Trump Discovers Another Shady Practice by Obama and his Administration”

In 1962, John F. Kennedy spoke to the nation and the world about the imperative to be a leader in the 20th century’s space race, pursuing the exploration of the final frontier before the Soviet Union could catch up. This speech — given during a halcyon time when the Democratic Party nominated competent presidential candidates … Continue reading “The 21st Century Space Race”

Stop me if you’ve heard this story before: American industry is undercut by cheap, shoddy foreign competition, spurred on by politicians who look the other way. Any other day it could be auto manufacturers, or steel workers, or construction projects, but today the victim is America’s farmers and the beneficiaries are liberals wracked by fifty … Continue reading “The Bread Deficit”

There has been a lot of talk about a potential trade war with China. Many economists are fast to point out how and why the U.S. can’t afford such a conflict. These happen to be the same economists that have been wrong in literally every prediction since Trump was elected. Let’s review the major issues … Continue reading “How Much of a Trade War Can China Actually Sustain”

Fear-mongering has been a favorite tool of the main stream media for as long as Americans have been able to pay for such privilege. The Columbian Centinel [sic], for instance, promised that the Louisiana Purchase would be a great folly because “we are to give money of which we have too little for land of … Continue reading “Risk Reduction: Of Mice and Markets”

While it’s easy to think America doesn’t need other nations across the pond to keep our economy afloat, that’s a false assumption. It’s important that other country’s economies do well too so as to prop up our own. That’s why it’s important to periodically check on the economic state of Europe. Since the start of … Continue reading “Europe’s Big Year Ahead”

If there is one merit where mainstream media has earned praise, it is in their tenacity. Despite the obvious blows to their credibility, they continue to fight a public opinion war against the government and the American people. In their onslaught, they continue to attempt to paint Trump and his administration as inept, volatile and … Continue reading “Why Trump “Volatility” Hasn’t Hurt Markets”

In ancient Greek mythology, the hero Sisyphus was punished by the gods for his great greed, forced to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity only to see it fall down the side of the mountain each time he reached the top. The American media could take a lesson from this lesson of antiquity: … Continue reading “The Anti-Trump Group Secretly Pulling for the President”
