The Ballot and The Bullet

According to one study, America is ranked 64th in mass shootings, but even if we were to adjust the variables to count America as 1st the chance of dying in a mass shooting in any given year is extremely rare — 0.0000003%. You have about as much chance of being…

Should Republicans and Democrats compromise by raising taxes and cutting spending to reduce the deficit?

I used to be sympathetic to this question, but now my answer is a firm: no. For one, it’s difficult to calculate the actual spending-cut-to-tax-hike ratio. In 2011, Obama said he was offering 3-to-1 spending cuts, but the media said it was 2-to-1, some experts believed it was 1-to-1, and…

Why were there so many “panics” during the gold standard?

Nobel-prize-winning economist Paul Krugman wrote, Under the gold standard, America had no major financial panics other than in 1873, 1884, 1890, 1893, 1907, 1930, 1931, 1932, and 1933. Oh, wait….returning to the gold standard is an almost comically (and cosmically) bad idea. There were different stages of the gold standard…

The Case for Free-Market Healthcare

The US has a mostly socialist healthcare system. The government accounts for over 65% of U.S. healthcare spending and the 35% that is “private” is highly distorted by regulations. Here are some of those regulations… Employer-based health insurance mandate for companies with over 50 full-time workers and tax penalties for…

End the Fed… And Replace It With What?

We need to end the Fed. The Federal Reserve makes interest rates artificially low to encourage lending. This is popular in the short term because people can buy more stuff, but it inevitably leads to massive bubbles.

Why Republicans Have Failed to Balance the Budget

The last Republican president to not add to the national debt was Calvin Coolidge. The last Republican president to balance the federal budget was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1960 and the last Republican Congress to do so was in 2001. Over the last 50 years, Republicans have largely failed at…

Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $43 billion, so it can be ‘transformed as a private company’

The Offer Statement: I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy. However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive…

The Case for Tariffs

Nuance matters. Economists generally support immigration, but to be a nation requires borders so there’s clearly some level at which we should limit foreigners. This doesn’t make one a xenophobe. Economists generally oppose tariffs, but to be a nation requires borders so there’s clearly some level at which we should…
