Tweet Warren Coats emphasizes the importance of productivity. A slice: In 1900, US income (GDP) was $4,096 per capita in 2023 dollars, while in 2023 it was $81,695. The US poverty rate fell from 56% to 11.1% over the same period. How was such a dramatic increase in our widely shared standard of living possible? The answer (without explaining how it came about) is increased labor productivity. Each worker has been able to produce more and more and […]

AI will make free market healthcare affordable to the masses
So a very common critique of free markets, that is repeated ad nauseam here by leftist visitors to this sub, is that the free market can’t handle healthcare, that it would only deliver quality healthcare to the rich. When asked why, they will say it’s because companies are too greedy or something. Aside from the fact that no country, including the US has a pure free market healthcare system, let’s concede this point for the sake of the […]

Elizabeth Warren, CEO-Assassin Cheerleader
“People can only be pushed so far,” sitting Senator Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) told HuffPost on Tuesday, in response to the killing of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of Midtown Manhattan. “The visceral response from people across this country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the health care system,” said Warren. “Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so […]

Disaster Spending
That didn’t go well: Congressional leaders’ plan to quickly pass a bipartisan spending deal to keep the federal government open through March is now in disarray, as Republicans revolt against a quick passage of the 1,547-page bill. The deal unveiled on Monday night called for an additional $100 billion in disaster-related spending, $10 billion in agricultural subsidies, pay raises for lawmakers, and a long, long list of various other unrelated, dubious policy proposals.

The DOGE Daze of Regulatory Reform
The new “Department of Government Efficiency” (aka “DOGE”), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to downsize the federal government and tame the federal bureaucracy. DOGE (which is not actually a government department) is seeking help identifying regulations that should be rescinded or repealed. As detailed in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, they aim to achieve these goals through presidential directives, not legislation. I am skeptical DOGE can fulfill its ambitious objectives through unilateral executive action, particularly […]
