In college, I spent basically every day on Econlib's website, devouring article after article. I still read it daily. Now, I get to be an author there! My debut piece is the result of an interview I did where the host asserted that government statistics were not to be trusted.

What a bad take. There's plenty wrong with NK models but this ain't it. This is like saying, "it's impossible to pack for vacation because nobody knows exactly what the weather will be like while you're there." Expectations. People have them and take them into account.

IEEPA is an *emergency* statute. It makes sense that it would confer a really extreme power like shutting down all trade--but not a more mundane, day-to-day kind of power, like imposing a tax.

Little known fact: Trump actually goes to grocery stores and gas stations himself, so you know he knows what he's talking about here. 🙄

Federal food assistance programs, like SNAP and WIC, provide an important service. But they also invite tremendous scope for cronyism that private alternatives can mitigate, if allowed to do so.
