Beware the Popping of the Housing Bubble by Stephen Moore

Washington never learns. Never. Politicians are like collective Alzheimer's disease patients. They have no short-term memories.

Canceling Student Loan Debt Would Make College More Expensive 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 to repay.

Another High-tech Titan Falters by Stephen Moore

You've probably heard of the high-flying Big Tech FAANG stocks -- Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google. Among the five of them, their market cap reached $6 trillion last year, which is more than the GDP of all but a small handful of entire countries. Moreover, their net worth is larger than the entire annual output of India, with more than 1 billion people.

Biden Wants to Regulate Everything -- Even Your Air Conditioning by Stephen Moore

Once upon a time, the mantra of the libertarian Left was "keep the government out of the bedroom."

Technology and Growth Are the Cures to Climate Doomsday by Stephen Moore

I guess you could mark me down as a "climate change skeptic." I'm not a climate scientist, so I have no expertise on what is happening with the planet's temperature or severe weather events that can wreak havoc on life and property.

The End of the Climate Change Legend by Stephen Moore

For many years now, there has been a spirited debate about whether climate change is science, religion or even perhaps a secret route to socialism. That question remains unanswered, but we've now discovered with certainty that climate change is a political albatross around the neck of the Democratic Party.

And That's Why They Call It 'the Swamp' 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 proclivities.

Free Market Capitalism Is Under Siege -- From Capitalists 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 gas industry that he almost single-handedly built. Likewise, Henry Ford's trust, the Ford Foundation, now spends millions of dollars on climate change -- as if the automobile was a sinister invention.

The State of the Union Is ... Broke by Stephen moore

To quote a screaming John McEnroe: You cannot be serious!

In the End, Sweden Did It Right by Stephen Moore

What if two years ago, when COVID-19 first hit these shores, our politicians hadn't panicked?

Under Pandemic Lockdowns, the Rich Got Richer and the Poor Got Crushed By Stephen Moore

Today, two years after COVID-19 first hit these shores from China, most studies confirm that the heavy-handed government lockdowns of businesses, restaurants, schools, churches and parks did more harm than good to our health and well-being.

Why Are Liberals So Miserable? by Stephen Moore

I'm the kind of guy

Who never used to cry

The world is treatin' me bad

The Greatest Government Failure in American History 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?

The Most Dangerous Virus Today Is Runaway Government Spending 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. There are 12 zeroes in a trillion. A trillion is a million dollars times a million. The budget deficit hit $200 billion and 6% of our entire GDP. Again, unthinkable.

Remember US Energy Independence Day? 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. 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 four years.

Save the Children, Fire the Teachers Unions By Stephen Moore

It started in Chicago, where an incredible 91% of union teachers voted to go on strike and refused to do what they get paid to do, which is teach. Then the union walkouts spread to Maryland, New Jersey and California.

Union Bosses Against Union Jobs by Stephen Moore

Why don't the union bosses in America represent their union members anymore? Could it be because the union leadership has become more beholden to the Democratic politicians in Washington than the rank-and-file workers who pay the dues?

The Trump Economic Record Looks Better Every Day 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 with the vaccine.

The Biggest Corporate Welfare Recipients Ever by Stephen Moore

How much do solar, wind and electric vehicle companies get in federal handouts and tax loopholes in President Joe Biden's Build Back Better bill? Well over $100 billion in taxpayer largesse. If all the tax credits are included, that number could reach half a trillion dollars. No other industry in American history has ever received this lucrative a paycheck.

The Greatest Financial Swindle of All Time By Stephen Moore

One of the most popular provisions of the 1994 Contract with America was a rule requiring Congress to live by the same laws that families and businesses are subject to.
