Government “Job Creation” Is a Big Drag on Society

The labor market is a mess. Millions of people are collecting unemployment. Meanwhile, businesses across the country are having a hard time filling positions. In what kind of world does this make sense?

Peter Schiff: Politicians Are Nothing But Actors

When Peter Schiff appeared on Joe Rogan’s show, he made the case that the Federal Reserve and Congress are the real problems facing America. The central bank and the federal government cripple the economy, destroy opportunity, and generally make life more difficult for the average American. But why? Why would people who claim to be […]

Ron Paul: The Fed Is Enabling Biden and Congress’ Destructive Agenda

On March 1, the national debt eclipsed $28 trillion. The mainstream media hardly gave it a mention. To put the speed of the borrowing into perspective, the US government added $5 trillion to the debt in less than 18 months. The Federal Reserve was already intervening in the economy prior to the pandemic. Remember, the […]

Big Government Crippled the Economy

It seems like everybody is getting a bailout right now. The government is handing out money it doesn’t have left and right. This is all justified because of coronavirus.

Peter Schiff: We Should Change the Name of the Holiday to ‘Dependence Day’

In his latest podcast, Peter Schiff reflected on Independence Day. He said he loves the holiday because it’s uniquely American and it celebrates the sacrifices the founding generation made to bring forth a country conceived in liberty. But he said the Fourth of July also makes him a little sad because it reminds him of what […]

Thousands Abandoning Illinois and Its Big Government Debacle

There is a mass exodus from Illinois. According to the US Census Bureau, the Prairie State lost a net 33,700 residents in fiscal year 2017. More people bailed out of Illinois than any other state in the US. And based on calculations the folks over at ZeroHedge worked out, the exodus was even worse than the […]

How Do We Really Cut the Burden of Government? Cut Spending!

In all of the talk about tax reform, nobody is considering the more fundamental problem facing America – the size and scope of the federal government. Peter Schiff has described the Republican tax plan as “tax cuts masquerading as reform.” When it’s all said and done, Americans aren’t going to get tax relief. They are […]
