All aboard the ‘fiscal Titanic’: In Biden’s America, why work?

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Despite its liberal tendencies, The Washington Post editorial board once acknowledged that in a democracy, “everyone can’t be entitled to everyone else’s money.” Well, it may have had that wrong because President Joe Biden is supersizing the entitlement state of America at a pace that makes President Lyndon B.

Corporate welfare: We have met the enemy and it’s Washington, not China

Corporate welfare: We have met the enemy and it’s Washington, not China

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore No one is paying much attention, but Washington is building up a vast new multi-trillion-dollar welfare class: corporate America. Deep inside President Joe Biden’s budget are hundreds of billions of dollars of loans, grants and loan guarantees for corporate America. This Aid to Dependent Corporations is most prevalent in […]

Why did Biden’s Census Bureau add 2.5 million more residents to blue-state population count?

Why did Biden’s Census Bureau add 2.5 million more residents to blue-state population count?

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore There is something very fishy about the new 2020 Census Bureau data determining which states picked up seats and which states lost seats.

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore The crisis of the coronavirus-induced economic lockdown and now the violent protests in the streets have unleashed a depression-level financial crisis and unprecedented human suffering — especially in our inner cities.

The extremely weird qualifications of Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Usually, when a CEO severely underperforms peers, he or she is fired or handed a gold watch and given a quick retirement party. In the Democratic Party, a rotten performance is a qualification for the presidency. I’m referring to the bizarre infatuation inside Democratic circles with New York Gov. […]

Don’t ‘socialize’ America’s airlines

Don’t ‘socialize’ America’s airlines

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore There is nothing worse than the government bailing out private industries. I’ve spent a career opposing corporate welfare giveaways. When an industry gets in financial trouble because of its poor business practices, the owners, shareholders and executives should bear the cost — not the taxpayers. The coronavirus crisis is […]

A national disgrace: ‘Government is the problem’ now more than ever

A national disgrace: ‘Government is the problem’ now more than ever

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, everyone should read Robert Higgs’ economic classic “Crisis and Leviathan.” The critical warning of this masterpiece is that government always uses a crisis — from the Civil War to the Great Depression to World War II — to expand power, not only […]
