Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Almost all of the economic discussion of late has been on the “wage gap” between men and women. A case in point: California Sen. Kamala Harris wants to create a federal bureaucracy that will ensure the government has more influence over workers’ pay than workers and employers themselves. This […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore I’m disappointed I had to withdraw from the nomination to be a member of the Federal Reserve Board because I do believe the Fed needs to change the way it operates. In the last month, I started investigating how it makes its decisions, which have such a dramatic impact […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore President Trump gave one of his most memorable and impactful speeches two weeks ago, when he systematically dismantled the case for socialism.

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore The eulogies for George H.W. Bush keep rolling in, and a great American hero’s life has been given proper tribute. But there has also been a rewriting of history about the Bush presidency that needs to be cleared up. Liberals love Bush for the very tax increase betrayal that […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Republicans need to regain the offensive on the fiscal issues. The GOP has somehow allowed big-spending Democrats to get to the right of them on the issue of financial responsibility and balanced budgets. Polls show that Democrats are now more trusted on balancing the budget than Republicans. That’s like […]

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore A few years ago, I spoke at my son’s fifth-grade class about all of the wonderful things that we have today in our great country that weren’t around 100 years ago, including inventions like cars.
