July 2024 Recently, I’ve been interviewed on several radio shows where hosts have been asking about Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve’s stance on inflation.

Virginia Senator Mark Warner has already termed 2025 as “Tax Armageddon.” The strategy for next year is to let the 2017 tax cuts expire, resulting in the largest tax increase in the history of the United States. This maneuver […]
We’ve got tariffs on steroids. Trump just floated the idea of eliminating the income tax in the United States and replacing it with an all-tariff federal revenue system.
