There was a depression in 1921 that crashed harder than anything we have seen in decades, and the government fixed it by doing almost nothing. That story does not get told because it destroys the justification for every bailout, stimulus package, and emergency program Washington has sold you since.
Republicans spent years screaming about socialism, and now JD Vance wants to redirect a federal childcare fund to cut checks to stay-at-home moms. I am not making this up, and I am not okay with it.
The biggest names on Wall Street just showed up at the G20 like it was a networking mixer, and everyone acted like it was great news. I am here to tell you it is not.
Congress is floating Social Security fixes that could push millions of Americans past a 50% marginal tax rate. I have been around long enough to know this is not reform, it is a shakedown dressed up in bipartisan language.
Wall Street spent thirty years convincing you that clicking buttons and moving money around was empowerment. It was never empowerment. It was a business model built on your losses.
The financial media wants you panicking about Florida real estate, but what they’re actually describing is a guy who tried to flip a $700,000 condo for a quick profit and got burned. That’s not a market collapse, that’s karma.

Wall Street has been using IPO promises to hook investors since before most of you were paying attention to your brokerage statements. The SEC is finally sniffing around, but the damage is already done.
