Wages & Prices

Laws of supply and demand? Meh! The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has calculated that Biden's $15/hr. minimum wage would kill as many as 3.7 million jobs. But on this morning's New Day, CNN commentator Errol Louis said it was "shameful" of Democrat Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia not to support the increase.

Shortly before an break near the end of Thursday's ReidOut, MSNBC host Joy Reid teased an “exclusive” scoop about Democrats potentially acquiring another Senate seat in 2022. Reid conducted a softball interview with Pennsylvania State Representative Malcom Kenyatta in which she fawned over his announcement of his bid to take retiring Republican…

Big Data Poll Director Richard Baris slammed a CNBC economic survey arguing that President Joe Biden won an initial approval rating that topped the first ratings of the last four presidents.

On Monday, the Congressional Budget Office published a 17-page report breaking down the devastating harm a $15 an hour minimum wage would do to the American people. Ignoring the soaring unemployment, price increases, and mounting deficit, the CBS Evening News lamented President Biden’s apparent willingness to drop the wage hike from his coronavirus relief package. They also…

People hate America's big disparities in wealth. It's a reason why, among young people, socialism is as popular as capitalism. The Democratic Socialists of America want a country based on "freedom, equality and solidarity." That sure sounds good. But does socialism bring that? My new video debunks several myths about socialism. One reason for socialism's continued appeal is linguist Noam…

Three economists lambasted a New York Times op-ed claiming that the Democratic Party is better for the economy than the GOP. 

After using Monday’s press briefing to lobby and advocate for the Biden administration to ditch working with Senate Republicans on a bipartisan COVID relief bill, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) showed off their efforts during their evening newscasts. They also used the opportunity to attack the GOP’s relief bill as unserious and an attempt to “test” President Biden’s calls for…

On Sunday’s Weekends with Alex Witt, MSNBC host Alex Witt tag-teamed with New School professor of economics and urban policy and Institute On Race and Political Economy director Darrick Hamilton to eagerly promote Joe Biden’s economic agenda without a real grasp of the facts and some smokescreens. While discussing Biden’s proposal to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour, Witt…

CBS News has become a propaganda arm for President-elect Joe Biden administration’s leftist economic plans to prop up his image. It threw more than 1 million workers under the bus to make Biden look good.

Want to make money and help the world, too? Wall Street says you can! If you invest in "socially responsible" funds, say big investment funds like BlackRock, Parnassus, TIAA-CREF, etc., then they'll do good things for the world, and your retirement funds will grow. These funds obsess about what they call Environmental, Social and Governance factors. For example, Parnassus says it picks…

Shark Tank star and businessman Kevin O’Leary ripped apart the draconian economic lockdowns states have inflicted on the American restaurant industry in response to the pandemic.

Some people can't handle success. The latest jobs report shows that despite the pandemic President Trump's policies of lower taxes and reducing regulations continue to work. Raising taxes and imposing regulations, as Joe Biden has pledged to do, has historically had the opposite effect, but there are people who continue to deny the history, believe lies, and appear ignorant of sound economic…

On Friday’s Squawk Box, the CNBC panel devolved into chaos with corporate liberals defending “big box retailer[s]” as necessary and worthy of staying open during the worst throws of the coronavirus pandemic whereas other public places must and should remain closed in the name of public safety. While the sentiment on Twitter sided with this blatant discrimination, panelist Rick…

Many of us will give money to charity this month. Americans give more than any other people in the world. Good for us. 56 years ago, because American charities hadn't ended poverty, politicians said they would end it. They declared a "war on poverty." That "war," so far, has cost $27 trillion. Some people were helped. But the handouts also had a bad effect.
