Today
Paul Bledsoe, The Hill The goal is nothing less than to restore the American Dream. |
Bruce Thompson, Washington Examiner The economic recovery is stalling. The jobs report was well below expectations, consumer confidence is falling, and Wall Street is revising the outlook for economic growth downward. Goldman Sachs forecasts "a harder path ahead." |

Blanche Lincoln, RCM As Congress discusses ways to strengthen the American economy amid the Delta variant's rapid rise, I encourage policymakers to fund new investments in a responsible manner.

Chris Crowley, New York It doesn't change anything for people who have moved on from jobs that weren't working for them. |
John Tamny, RCM A frequent conversation piece among the libertarians and conservatives I lunch with concerns the "worst president in our lifetimes." One elder routinely answers LBJ for his expansion of the war in Vietnam combined with the welfare state expansion he presided over domestically. Others cite Barack Obama, but my answer every single time is George W. Bush. To those who say Obama I always respond with an expressed desire to stage a public debate about the merits of Obama vs. Bush based on my confident belief that Obama's presidency doesn't come close to Bush's on the error front. Think about it. |
Samuel Goldman, The Week How women conquered college — and the future |
Julia Horowitz, CNN The 30,000 aluminum tins were supposed to show up in a 20-foot shipping container in July. Months later, they haven't arrived — and SJ Hunt, the co-founder of Lavolio, a boutique confectionery in London, is starting to panic. |

Christopher Rufo, City Journal A Google employee program claims that America is a "system of white supremacy" and that all Americans are "raised to be racist." |
Wayne Crews, Forbes Deadlines loom over the bipartisan infrastructure deal & Biden's $3.5 trillion amalgam of social & "human infrastructure" spending. These new domestic Forever Wars are on a collision course with an unforgiving debt ceiling. Neglected options for shrinking the administrative state deserve a hearing. |

Steven Greenhouse, New York Times Posing at coal mines and factories, they may tell voters otherwise. But the policy tells a different story. |
Gary Galles, Issues & Insights This should be a day celebrating hard work, not labor unions. |
Rainer Zitelmann, Examiner Many anti-capitalists today no longer speak of abolishing capitalism. Instead, they call for its "containment," "correction," or "improvement." Intellectuals are constantly thinking up new concepts for "improving" the capitalist economic system or curbing its "evils." |

Jonathan Clements, HumbleDollar U.S. AND FOREIGN STOCKS are highly correlated, with monthly returns that move in the same direction almost all the time. Because of this, some have argued that there's scant reason to diversify internationally. But there's a small problem with this argument: Just because investments move in the same direction doesn't mean they generate the same return. |
Robin Powell, The Evidence-Based Investor Tempted to try your hand at picking stocks? Remember: most common stocks don't even outperform Treasury bills over their lifetimes. |
