Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore The evidence shows that school closures during COVID were an epic public policy blunder. The school lockdowns in many states were arguably the most significant episode of government-sponsored child abuse in American history. You don’t have to take my word for it. Last week, the liberal New York Times […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore It might be the biggest giveaway in American history. President Joe Biden wants to cancel more than $1 trillion of outstanding student loan debt. Biden has already delayed for more than a year student loan repayment, and under his new rules, most delinquent and deadbeat borrowers would NEVER have […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore You’ve probably heard of the high-flying Big Tech FAANG stocks — Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google.

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. Yes, I know that these days, $30 billion is a rounding error in the $6 trillion federal budget. But isn’t that precisely the problem? But, as […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore The tally for how much the federal government spent to combat COVID-19 is now estimated to be $5 trillion. It is more than the combined costs of World Wars I and II. The Left is celebrating that politicians in Washington saved us. Really? From what exactly? Two years later, […]
Special to WorldTribune.com SWAMP WATCH By Stephen Moore When I came to Washington, D.C., in 1985, Ronald Reagan was president. I was working for the Reagan budget office. We did something we weren’t very proud of at the time. We introduced the first $1 trillion budget in American history, which was unthinkable. One trillion dollars. […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Once, during a meeting with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump inside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York, we discussed energy policy.
