Historic Red Retirement Rates

Before the upcoming midterm elections, a record number of incumbent House Republicans are set to retire.

The Trade Deficit is one of the two components of the ‘twin deficits’; the other being the federal budget deficit. The trade deficit used to be a number that received a ton of attention in the 1980s and 1990s because it was determined to be a strong gauge of the strength and weakness in the […]

Schiff vs. Every: Inflation and the Real Cost of War
