How Tax Relief Will Free Americans Financially
Some might argue this fact, but Republicans have one chance to salvage the loss of one of the greatest opportunities the Republican Party ever had. If they had decided to rally around President Donald Trump’s [...]
“Inflation is Coming, Inflation is Coming!”
All around the Federal Reserve building, someone for years has been riding his horse—a la Paul Revere—crying out in excitement over the notion that 2 percent inflation is finally coming. This week, Janet Yellen has [...]
Changing America’s Trajectory Could be as Simple as Tax Reform
In these days of controversy and political wrangling, we seem to forget that America’s woes from an economic standpoint stem from eight straight years of GDP growth hovering around an average of 2.1 percent. Yes, [...]
Did the Hurricane Distract You From This Major Sign of the End Times?
As Christians, we know how the story ends. We understand there will be a day when a one-world government will lead us into the end times. As His people and believers in God's Word, we certainly understand that God reminds us in His Word of where the world is headed. While many have tried to place some sort of timeline on these events, I am [...]
With Strong Congressional ‘Leadership,’ Is Prosperity Right Around the Corner?
It’s certainly a possibility that tax reform won’t be accomplished this year. That’s ironic, because I believe Republicans are desperate to get something done after the fiasco of seven years of unsuccessfully preparing to repeal and replace Obamacare. Of course, one thing we know is that Congress never truly debated or even thought about repeal and replace for the past seven years. Their words were nothing more [...]
Harvey Delivers Economic Pounding on Texas and the Nation, and It’s Still Going
As Texas residents face the realities of the aftermath of Harvey, they and the nation will also have to recover from higher prices at the pump and other hits to the economy caused by the mega-storm. "Texas took a beating by Hurricane Harvey but the storm is also hitting the state hard economically. It's something that economists say will spread across the nations," said Dan [...]
Take It to the People, Mr. President
I would hope most Americans watched President Donald Trump’s rally in Phoenix on Tuesday evening. Much of it was classic Trump, touting his accomplishments, criticizing “fake news” and talking about the swamp in Washington, D.C. Certainly, it wouldn’t be President Trump without his in-your-face attitude.
Death, Dysfunction and Disaster
Just as we have seen corporate leaders deserting President Donald Trump and his pro-growth agenda, in all likelihood it won’t take much for the majority of Trump haters in the Republican Party—both in the House of Representatives and the Senate—to do the same.
The Stench of Capitol Hill
From Day One, Republicans coming into office said they would repeal and replace Obamacare. Obviously, they forgot that for the past seven years they had promised that very thing.
A Pathetic Show of Bureaucratic Garbage
On Wednesday, we learned that the Department of Veterans Affairs has been forced to rehire the former director of the VA Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Brian Hawkins had been fired in July after the completion of an internal investigation. This fireworks-laden firing stemmed from Hawkins’ incompetence in handling the administrative duties of medical care for our veterans.
Agenda, Agenda, Agenda
The White House, Senate and House of Representatives continue to be out of step with the American people. More importantly, they continue to be out of step with what is needed for the well-being of our nation.
Capitol Hill’s Dysfunction is Alive and Well
Throughout the Obama administration, I talked about the dysfunction of Capitol Hill. Most of it came at the hands of Republicans who routinely ran the white flag of surrender up the flagpole every chance they got. I continue to be astonished at how the lack of unity in the Republican Party shows no signs of going away.
A Janet Yellen-Induced Crash?
Many economic analysts are talking about an inevitable crash. They have even posed the question: “Does anybody believe that Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen can pull off the miracle of draining trillions of dollars from the financial system without causing a major meltdown in the markets—possibly even a recession?”
