William Cohan, New York Times The warning signs of an overheating economy are everywhere. Yet the Fed seems unable — or unwilling — to confront reality. |
Robin Walker, Spectator A roaring economy is within our sights again. But President Biden's policies are actively discouraging work. |
A.J. Rice, RCM If you're awake to what's going on in government schools, you probably want your kid as far away from the clutches of the unhinged Woke Mafia that now controls them as possible. Girls can't go to the bathroom in some of these schools anymore without the possibility that boys might be watching them go to the bathroom - provided the boys "identify" as girls, which makes it their right, among the Woke, to be in the girl's bathroom. Boys also apparently have the right to join the girl's track team and compete against girls - and take college scholarships away from girls - provided they "identify"... |
Brad Polumbo,Examiner Like it or not, there are more than 10 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States. The status quo forces them to work under the table and in the shadows.

Craig Rucker, Issues & Insights ESGs are more of a racket than a sound investment. |
Derek Bergen, Applied Finance While Applied Finance has long advocated for investors to consider the strategic advantages from incorporating a valuation-based discipline in portfolio construction and stock selection, this study provides compelling evidence that even passive allocations benefit when index weights are formed on intrinsic value characteristics instead of using market cap as a proxy. |

Kathy Jones, Charles Schwab We see the recent plateau in yields as a pause before the next wave higher. |
Brian Wesbury & Robert Stein, First Trust Advisors |
Cooper Howard, Charles Schwab We see several potential tailwinds for municipal bonds in the second half of the year. |
Peter Suderman, Reason It's a jobs plan that isn't about jobs, and an infrastructure plan that isn't about infrastructure. |
Greg Rosalsky, NPR The U.S. trade deficit is hitting record highs — and it's fueled by a surge in demand for imports, mostly from East Asia. On both land and at sea, the shipping industry is struggling to keep up. |
Jodi Kantor & Karen Weise, New York Times Each year, hundreds of thousands of workers churn through a vast mechanism that hires and monitors, disciplines and fires. Amid the pandemic, the already strained system lurched. |

Gary Galles, AIER "Allegations that higher income earners don't pay their 'fair share' of taxes are a mainstay misrepresentation of the political left. When the facts say otherwise, they simply twist the facts and ignore more serious studies. ProPublica's latest effort is just one more of a long line of such... |
Anand Giridharadas, New York Times There is no way to be a billionaire in America without taking advantage of a system predicated on cruelty. |
