“In accepting the Republican nomination, Dole teared up thinking of the time his father visited him at a veterans’ hospital in Detroit, while he was recovering from his wounds. But, the tear was held back. Always a warrior, there was no defeat in this man.” ~ Clifford F. Theis
READ MORE“The ultimate goal of Democratic lawmakers is Medicare for All. It’s hard to imagine a model with higher costs. If they’re successful, crisis standards of care will become the norm all over the United States.” ~ Sally C. Pipes
READ MORE“We see the seeds of this already in the intellectually bankrupt Modern Monetary Theory. MMT boils down to a simple policy prescription: politicians should feel free to print as much money as they want. That’s a recipe for hyperinflation.” ~ Antony Davies
READ MORE“According to the main evidence cited by the bank regulators themselves, the NSFR will create a net cost to the U.S. financial system, not a net benefit.” ~ Thomas L. Hogan
READ MORE“The history of these schools is so complicated and idiosyncratic that it provides a fertile field for understanding how history moves forward (in time, not necessarily making progress).” ~ Jane Shaw Stroup
READ MORE“These data paint an unambiguous reality that collides with FIRE’s narrative. The adjunctification of higher ed is an empirical myth, and the benefits of tenure are exaggerated in relation to its unseen costs.” ~ Phillip W. Magness
READ MORE“New mandates might temporarily boost Biden’s popularity (especially with the media) but will leave citizens less free. And the federal record since early 2020 does nothing to inspire confidence that further episodes of Pandemic Security Theater will keep us safe.” ~ James Bovard
READ MORE“All the risks that accompany the danger of overregulation like rent-seeking and regulatory capture is magnified in the event of regulatory failure.” ~ Donovan Choy & Joakim Book
READ MORE“Telling other governments what to do rarely succeeds, and has failed utterly when tried by Washington. Other nations have watched what the US did, not said, and realized that America would pay no matter what.” ~ Doug Bandow
READ MORE“Even public health experts themselves recognize that public health experts have tunnel vision during health emergencies in which they focus singularly on the narrow medical threat itself and prioritize mitigating disease no matter the cost.” ~ James R. Rogers
READ MORE“The world we live in is a world of precarious property rights, one where innocent people like Kermit Warren are regularly victimized by law enforcement agents.” ~ Patrick Carroll
READ MORE“If Congress perceives the debt ceiling as a credibly binding constraint, then the ceiling must be set one level above Congress. The U.S. Constitution should be amended to restrict the ability of Congress to incur more debt.” ~ Michael Makovi
