Special to WorldTribune.com SWAMP WATCH By Stephen Moore With $30 trillion of debt — which has grown by $5 trillion in just the last two years, with another $2 trillion of red ink expected to get spilled this year — you might have expected Congress at least to pretend it will temper its reckless spending […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore We live in a strange world. John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, helped provide the energy that powered the American century beginning in the early 1900s. Today, his grandchildren spend the billions of dollars that he donated to the Rockefeller Foundation to attack the same oil and […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore To quote a screaming John McEnroe: You cannot be serious! Last week, the Biden administration requested another $30 billion for COVID relief programs.

I told Trump that if we went all out to produce America’s abundant supply of oil, gas and coal, the United States could be energy independent in […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore When running against Donald Trump for president, Joe Biden often made the now-ironic charge that any president who has allowed so many deaths from COVID-19 should never be in the White House. Today, there are more deaths from COVID under Biden than under Trump — and that is even […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore When he announced last week that he would release more oil from the American Strategic Petroleum Reserve, President Joe Biden told the American people he is doing everything possible to bring down gas prices at the pump. That’s a lie. This administration and the climate change crazies have declared […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Not long ago, President Joe Biden made an offhanded comment that “Milton Friedman isn’t running the show anymore.” This president has seldom spoken more valid words.
