Commentary How does the minimum wage affect the Fed’s biggest fear? I touched on this subject previously as the Fed began its rate-hiking campaign.

Minimum Wage and the Fed’s Biggest Fear
Commentary How does the minimum wage affect the Fed’s biggest fear? I touched on this subject previously as the Fed began its rate-hiking campaign. However, while the issue of the “millions of people” who aren’t paid a “living wage” for work makes headlines, the actual numbers are pretty underwhelming. As of the end of 2021,…
Want to Be Healthy and Happy? Get Married
Commentary Marriage proposals on Valentine’s Day used to be a thing. Today, not so much. These days, many Canadians tell pollsters they think marriage is nice, but not necessary.

H. Con. Res. 9 Changes Nothing
Commentary On Feb. 2, the House of Representatives passed H. Con. Res. 9—a resolution “denouncing the horrors of socialism.” The vote was 327–86 with every Republican and 109 Democrats in favor. Are you feeling safer now? Less threatened? Less worried about the direction of Uncle Sam’s Big Government policies? Of course not. The vote was…
