With the federal partial “shutdown” now over, it’s back to normal. That means we’re back to runaway government spending, huge deficits, and a downward spiral into inflation and the Federal Reserve monetizing debt. Meanwhile, economic data continues to worsen, and neither party has any appetite for doing anything different.
Today at mises.org, Vincent Cook explains ([link removed]) that tariff revenue won’t really change anything, and only big spending cuts will alter the present path to financial ruin. Not that you would know this from the “mainstream” economists who rule in Washington. As Bill Anderson also shows ([link removed]) today, the Democrats’ favorite economist pushes economic malpractice of Krugman-like proportions.
