Joakim Book, American Institute for Economic Research Old people die. That’s awful in the abstract, and horrible whenever it happens to someone we know personally. We’d much prefer old people not to die and postpone death for as long as possible. But die they must – like all of us, eventually. The way in which they do so may be a question of cosmetics or personal preference rather than anything else. Yes, I would prefer to just slowly and painlessly drift off into sleep, surrounded by those I love and all my affairs in order.

Christy Bieber, USA Today There's some good news during the coronavirus pandemic: A recent survey by Schwab indicates the average amount 401(k) plan participants contributed to their accounts this year is up 20% compared with last year. Investing more for retirement is always smart. And those Americans who increased account contributions during the coronavirus-driven market crash made an especially prudent choice since market downturns often present buying opportunities. |
Alicia Munnell, MarketWatch The answer is probably not what you think |
Alex Hendrie, RCM One of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s top campaign proposals is to repeal the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) “on day one” as part of trillions of dollars in tax hikes. This is a terrible idea given the success of these policies and the fact that the economy is still recovering from the Coronavirus pandemic. Because of the strong fundamentals of the Trump economy, we are seeing signs of progress in the recovery from COVID-19. |

Vitaliy Katsenelson, Contrarian Edge A year ago, I called the stock market mood “partying like it’s 1999.” I was off by a year. Last year was missing the necessary euphoric speculation, which ironically arrived in the middle of a pandemic that engulfed the world. |

Nicole Gelinas, New York Post Last week, the Moody's agency slashed the credit rating on NYC's debt. Just like with your credit score, the lower it goes, the higher an interest rate the city pays. |

Rep. Michael Burgess & Bud Albright, Washington Examiner There was a time not that long ago when electricity was not universally available. Up until 1925, fewer than half the homes in the United States had any electricity, and even then, it was mainly supplied to the cities of America. Today, most of us cannot imagine life without it. |

Rainer Zitelmann, Examiner There are many athletes with disabilities who perform exceptionally well at the Paralympics. But aside from four gold medals at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympic Games, Marla Runyan won the 1500 meters at the Pan American Games in 1999, finished eighth over the same distance at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and won the United States 5000 meters three times in a row in 2001, 2002, and 2003. Runyan is legally blind â?" she can see the feet and the colors of her competitors' jerseys and the red surface of the running track, but she can't see the finish line. In her autobiography, No Finish... |
Jeffrey Tucker, American Institute for Economic Research George Melloan, who died last week at the age of 92, wrote his last column for the Wall Street Journal in June 2020. I was absolutely thrilled when at this time, he dropped me a note and said that he wanted to hang his hat at the American Institute for Economic Research. Because he has long had such a profound influence on me, and really the entire world during his 54 years of writing for the Journal, I was thrilled and deeply honored. |
Martha White, The New York Times Whether financial advisers like to address the topic or not, clients are bringing it up. |

Zephyr Teachout, Pro Market Congress must overturn bad Supreme Court precedent and reassert Congressional supremacy over the Supreme Court in antitrust policy. It should legislate break-ups and mandate structural separations or line of business laws in the digital economy. And it must use its investigative powers to their fullest extent. Anything short of that would imperil American democracy. Editor's note: ? |
