How can a single, simple event like this have two completely different interpretations by respectable authorities? We need to agree to agree on facts, else โ€œa house divided cannot stand.โ€ Wake up, America. x.com/dhsgov/status/โ€ฆ

Many may wonder what _False Dawn_ could possibly reveal about the New Deal and the U.S. Great Depression that they don't already know. So here's a brief list of some things that may qualify. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bookโ€ฆ

Except that the economy is not knowable the way a simple car engine is. One can't describe the billions of parts that make up the economy (let alone describe what motivates the behavior of these parts) by simple description. This is why theory is needed.

CPI inflation rate for May 2025 2.38% year-over-year 0.97% month-over-month (annualized) Room for a rate cut here, though probably won't happen. Not that it matters very much. Many other more pressing problems not fixable w/ interest rate policy!

The thing about the conservatives opposed to selling Federal lands (e.g. I noticed Lomez ), is that they clearly have not actually read Mike Lee 's actual bill. Massive failure of literacy on the part of the based right. So let's look at the bill!
