History tells us that export bans are a very bad idea
The economic uncertainty fueled by the war in Ukraine has had a particularly strong impact on the global food supply, in particular, the wheat market. Approximately 25% of the world’s wheat supply comes from Russia and Ukraine, and the disruption to the market has sparked fears of a worldwide food crisis. Those concerns have sparked…

It’s time to really think about life after Putin and Xi
Rumors persist regarding the tenuous health of both Russian President Vladimir Putin and General Secretary Xi Jinping of China. While much of the world would consider their deaths welcome news, questions linger about who would replace them and in what direction they might take their respective countries. Straight Arrow News contributor Larry Lindsey says the…

Sorry to say, inflation hasn’t peaked yet
Are we on the downslope of inflation? The April economic numbers hinted that inflation had finally peaked when it showed consumer prices rose 8.3%, down from March’s record-setting figures. However, Straight Arrow News contributor Larry Lindsey thinks it was just an economic mirage and explains why other numbers suggest that we’re not done with record…

Negative GDP growth, runaway inflation could lead to recession
The decline of real GDP in the first quarter of 2022 set off yet another alarm in economic circles about the strength of the U.S. economy. Real GDP is a statistic used to measure the value of goods and services. A decline in that number indicates a decline in economic activity. As Straight Arrow News…

Who will win November midterm elections? Let’s look at the polls.
Fewer than six months before the crucial midterm elections, it’s still not entirely certain which party is going to come out as the victor after the votes are tallied on Nov. 8, 2022. The Republican Party is seen by many as the favorite, given that historically, the president’s party almost always loses the midterms. Add…

Larger inflation shock headed our way
The U.S. economy is at a critical juncture. While the job market is rich with opportunities, prices are high due to historic inflation, and things are likely to get worse. According to the recent Labor Department JOLT Survey, data from February indicates the labor market is booming. It shows that once again, a near record 11.3…

Could US sanctions lead to regime change in Moscow?
When President Biden went off script and said Vladimir Putin could no longer remain in power, he was only saying the quiet part out loud. Yes, White House staff was caught off guard and had to go into damage control following the president’s ad-libbed remarks, but don’t kid yourself. He was only stating publicly what…

Stock market woes are far from over

US fails with every attempt at sanctions
As Russia invades Ukraine, the Biden administration is responding with a typical and ineffective strategy: sanctions. We’ve tried this time and time again with no success. Even the Russians have openly stated sanctions are a waste. The Russian UN ambassador said, ‘We’ve been sanctioned so many times, we’ve lost count, we’ve learned to live with it.’…

Biden’s voting rights rhetoric may come back to haunt him
President Biden’s fiery comments on voting rights did nothing to help him pass his legislation on the matter, and they aren’t going to do him any favors in the future. During a visit to Atlanta, Biden compared opponents of his proposal to George Wallace, Bull Connor, Jefferson Davis, three men known as segregationists who fought civil…

Your stocks may tank because of the Fed’s strategy to fight inflation
We keep hearing about the inflation problem and with good reason. Inflation has hit 7%, the highest level we’ve seen in 40 years, and it’s led Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to take major criticism as he looks to get it under control. Stocks rebounded a bit after shedding 11% since the start of 2022,…

How should America deal with Russia’s Ukraine aggression? By following Teddy Roosevelt’s advice
Tensions continue to escalate in Ukraine over Russia’s continuing military presence near Ukraine, although we’re now hearing that further talks between the U.S. and Moscow could happen after the new year.

Who really benefits from the Build Back Better bill?
You don’t have to dig too deep into President Biden’s Build Back Better bill to see special interests getting their piece of the $2 billion dollar pie. The winners include labor unions, trial lawyers, and the rich. First, the labor unions will benefit from one of the biggest provision in the legislation: universal child care.…

We don’t need lockdowns to fight Omicron COVID variant, and the numbers prove it
While officials are still collecting data to understand this Omicron variant of the coronavirus, one thing is quite clear: lockdowns are not the way to go. When COVID-19 slammed into us in 2020, the U.S. went into widespread lockdown. Schools and businesses closed. Restaurants scrambled to serve outdoors and make deliveries. Broadway productions went dark.…
