The Fed Pivots to What?
https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/the-fed-pivots-to-what-5548866
This kind of interest rate manipulation has many deleterious consequences. It punishes savers and rewards debtors. It subsidizes industrial projects with a long forecast of a rate of return or profit, at the expense of borrowers who need cash to serve more immediate needs. Of course by nudging the banking system to expand money and credit, it adds to the money stock in ways that risk price distortions from inflated financials to diminished purchasing power.
All of these things have happened thanks to the Fed.

As author and Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn wrote: “If a nation is to remain free, its citizens must know how to distinguish good action from bad, justice from injustice, liberty from licentiousness and freedom from tyranny.”
Millions of Americans have and will continue to come through the public education system. Yet, dangerously, moral instruction has been divorced from modern education. If citizens can't rightly govern themselves—their passions, emotions, and habits—they won't be able to preserve a free society.
We Must Save Ourselves From the Public Health Professionals
If a product can be mandated—essentially force the market to buy it—then this risk is eliminated. If you can then remove any liability for harm done, you are simply printing money with no risk at all. This is such a ridiculous and indecent approach that it would never fly in a normal commercial context.

Friedrich Hayek, the great free-market Austrian economist, once said:
“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.”
Hayek is right.
If the government tried to ban Bitcoin it would be cutting off its nose to spite its face...

$33 Trillion in National Debt Means More Taxes
https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/33-trillion-in-national-debt-means-more-taxes-5540499
Under the fair tax everyone will pay. That means the fair tax will almost certainly collect more than the projected revenue number, and be progressive at the same time. Not only that but also you wouldn’t have to file a federal tax return and you’d see more money in your paycheck since the payroll tax would go away. Only retail businesses would collect the tax and remit it to the federal government. They already do this today with state sales taxes.
The fair tax solution is simple, objective, elegant, and returns power to the American citizen and away from lobbyists and politicians in Washington.

Are You Surprised That Inflation Still Marches On?
https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/are-you-surprised-that-inflation-still-marches-on-5546265
“There is no such thing as an inflation rate that rises and falls like the sea level. There are only prices of things you buy and they change based on a multiplicity of factors. The number one factor pushing them up is money creation, which has been pursued as never before in our lifetimes during the COVID panic as a way of funding stimulus payments.
Only a complete idiot could have done that without knowing what the consequences would be. But among the idiot class, there were those who truly imagined that economic law had been magically repealed and that they would get away with this. “

An NGO in Ecuador received $20,600 to “host 3 workshops, 12 drag theater performances, and produce a 2 minute documentary.” When Fox News ran a story about it, a State Department spokesperson replied that the purpose of the grant was to “promote tolerance” and “provide new opportunities for LGBTQI+ Ecuadorians to express themselves.”
