1995: When I Testified Before the Train Wreck Known as Congress

5 days ago | mises.org | James Bovard

President Trump hosted Elon Musk for a farewell press conference on Friday. Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team savvily exposed federal follies and spurred over $100 billion in canceled federal contracts and cutbacks. It remains to be seen whether Congress will codify the DOGE spending cuts. Even if that happens, the “savings” will practically vanish in the tsunami of new deficit spending championed by Trump—up to $4 trillion in the next decade.
What the World Needs Now from Pope Leo XIV

Whatever one may think of the Catholic Pope’s religious authority, the fact remains that the Papacy—also known as the Holy See—in spite of several centuries of decline in prestige, is an international institution that is difficult to ignore. There are good reasons, after all, why the heads of state from major global powers choose to meet with the Pope and with his representatives.

Take the Deal, President Trump

1 week ago | mises.org | Ron Paul

Deal-making is said to be President Trump’s specialty, yet after five rounds of indirect talks with Iran – most recently just days ago – we seem as far away from an agreement as ever. The fifth round ended last Friday with no breakthrough, but at least no breakdown. However, each day that passes without a document signed on the table is another day for the neocons to maneuver the US president toward an attack on Iran.

Interest Rates Rise again as Investors Buy Fewer Low-Interest Treasurys

2 weeks ago | mises.org | Ryan McMaken

The US government is on track to borrow more than two trillion dollars this year, but that’s going to require a lot of new loans from investors, and it’s looking like there is limited investor appetite for ever larger amounts of federal Treasurys. On Wednesday, the auction of 20-year Treasury bonds was so weak that the 20-year yield climbed to over five percent, and long-dated debt yields hit levels not seen since November 2023.
