President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei have a special relationship. Each is engaged in a crusade to make his respective country's economy great again. Trump was all in on helping Milei win his elections earlier this year, and he has also offered the Argentines a $20 billion "lifeline" as they adjust to the bumpy path to needed free-market reforms.
Polls show that the age group of Americans most worried about "affordability" are the 20- and 30-somethings. That's young millennials and Gen Z.
Trial lawyers have been the bane of U.S. employers for many decades, sucking blood out of the economy like a swarm of mosquitos.
The buzzword of the month is "affordability," and based on the election results from New York, New Jersey and Virginia, voters think that's declining. Democrats think they've found a winning issue here to win back the hearts and minds of voters after the Trump sweep last year.
You've probably heard by now the blockbuster news that Microsoft founder Bill Gates, one of the richest people to ever walk the planet, has had a change of heart on climate change.

The following column is coauthored by Stephen Moore and David M. Simon.

The giant insurance companies -- including UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Humana are leading what Capitol Hill sources describe as "an unprecedented lobbying blitz to restore hundreds of billions in taxpayer-funded Obamacare and Medicare Advantage subsidies."
It's hard to believe that a couple years ago Time magazine considered naming Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell as their Person of the Year. He may well have won, if it hadn't been for someone named Taylor Swift.
Anyone old enough to have lived through the mayhem and economic decline of the 1970s probably will recall the tax cut heard round the world.

Well, so much for the vaunted renewable energy "transition" to save the planet. This was always a fable. We get 80% of our energy from fossil fuels, and with Donald Trump now in the White House, that ratio is rising, not falling.
