To put the matter another way, the challengers wish to change tax policy in ways that would make America less competitive among the world’s nations. For the most part, the debates generally confirmed the economic platforms already put... |

Phillip Magness, American Institute for Economic Research New coronavirus cases are spiking again as we head into the colder months. While this pattern likely reflects the long-anticipated seasonality of the disease, the lockdown-aligned American news media is currently peddling a different narrative. Not enough Americans are doing their duty to defeat the virus by wearing masks, we’re constantly hectored. To this end, the Washington Post ran a flashy visual display purporting to show that high-mask use states are faring better than the rest (conveniently omitting mention that many of those same states were the hardest hit... |
Michael Fumento, Issues & Insights Much of Europe is locking down again. Restaurants closing, bars closing, capacity limits in places like hotels and bars.

Sam Swenson, Motley Fool Creating a financial plan involves a blend of evaluating your tolerance for risk, gauging your relevant time horizon, and developing personal goals. If we've learned anything over the past several months, it's that having cash available is not only preferred, but also an absolute necessity. At the same time, we're all faced with the challenge of saving for retirement – the longer you wait to begin investing, the more you'll need to save down the line to reach levels high enough to retire. With these competing priorities at hand, it's valuable to think about the different considerations... |

Wayne Brough, American Institute for Economic Research fter more than a yearlong investigation into America’s largest tech companies, Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and David Cicilline (D-R.I.) finally released the long-awaited House Judiciary’s Majority Staff Report on antitrust. Not surprisingly, the report calls for substantial new oversight and stringent antitrust enforcement by both the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission.

Jason Rantz, American Consequences President Donald Trump opened with a simple request to 60 Minutes: “Just be fair.” Leslie Stahl and CBS editors weren’t willing to comply, setting off a string of events that should alert media outlets their subjects won’t stand for dishonest framing anymore. CBS breathlessly reported that Trump cut his interview short after Stahl asked a “tough” question about his domestic priorities. The accompanying video shows Stahl belittling Trump’s assertion that his administration created the “greatest economy in American... |

Stephen S. Roach, Project Syndicate US President Donald Trump wears his recent experience with COVID-19 infection as some perverse badge of courage, rather than as a warning of what may lie ahead.
