In your summary, I think you left out one of the most important statements of the article: "One confirmation of this explanation comes from the S&P 500’s overnight performance before a holiday in Europe. Many European traders will be less focused on the stock market, and, sure enough, on...

Yes, but it has such a large head start that most Americans don't realize it. They believe that if they can just keep the undocumented Central Americans out, and keep a lid on China, the USA will retain its world dominant position forever. The truth is that in many important areas, the USA is...

I disagree. The root problem lies with the voters who blindly vote for any candidate simply because that candidate is of their party. Politicians know they don't have to fear not being reelected as long as they toe their party's line. Almost every major piece of legislation Congress has passed...

Taxes will go up in 2021, but it will be the Republicans that will raise taxes, not Biden. NYTimes: Republicans, Not Biden, Are About to Raise Your Taxes https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/31/opinion/republicans-biden-taxes.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage
