Nova Scotia Fire Hall shot up by police during mass shooting
In my last post about Gabriel Wortman and the leaked 911 calls, I came across some startling information. Saltwire reported that an RCMP officer visited a key witness impersonating a member of the Nova Scotia Mass Causalty Commission. He was in reality from the RCMP's response to that commission.

Pakistan Can’t Tolerate More Chaos in Afghanistan
*Syed Ali Zia Jaffery* *Afghanistan, Asia* Absent enduring peace in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s geo-economic efforts will take a hit and the demon of terrorism will return with a vengeance. Recently, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi categorically stated that Islamabad would not take responsibility should the peace process in Afghanistan crumble. Pakistan has been honest and sincere in consolidating the peace process in the war-torn country, he said, and Afghan leaders blaming Pakistan would not help advance the cause of peace. Pakistan’s official enunciations point to... read more

Japan Is Eyeing Another Massive Stimulus Package (But There Is a Problem)
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus, * As of earlier this year, Japan had a debt of about $12 trillion as of the end of 2019, a figure that has likely grown since with the pandemic and subsequent stimulus packages, including the government of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe passage of an ambitious program called the Digital New Deal. In fact, Japan’s debt has been larger than its GDP for more than twenty years Stimulus packages, to deal with the effects of the pandemic and related economic troubles, haven’t only been for the United States.

How Misguided Antitrust Concerns Pose A Threat To The Nation’s Security And Health
*Dan Goure* *Antitrust, * Are big defense companies really a bad thing? Or is the efficiency and expertise they provide vital to U.S. security? The defense and aerospace sector is in the midst of overlapping structural and technological revolutions. The Department of Defense (DoD), with strong Congressional support, is pushing defense companies to be more innovative. The military services have also taken up the mantra of calling for faster change and greater innovation. Emblematic of this drive was the first strategic message to his service by the Air Force Chief of Staff General... read more
Biden's Nightmare: Was Half of the Money for Unemployment Benefits Stolen?
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Unemployment Benefits, * This is not the first reported instance of stimulus funds being a target of criminal activity. Federal authorities have also recently announced that Venezuelans currently residing in Florida and Mexico had taken more than $800,000 worth of stimulus checks over the past year. Much like coronavirus stimulus checks over the past year, money from unemployment benefits has kept millions of struggling Americans afloat. But according to ID.me, a fraud prevention service, it recently revealed to *Axios* that the United States lost more than $4... read more
Bad News: The IRS Has Flagged Over 5 Million Tax Refunds for Fraud
*Stephen Silver* *Tax Refund, * It's not just fraud. The coronavirus pandemic likely committed to further delays, as did a lack of resources on the part of the agency. A lot of Americans are still waiting for their tax refunds, and it turns out there’s a good reason for that. “The IRS’s fraud filters flagged 5.2 million refunds in 2020,” the Taxpayers’ Advocate office said this week. “It released most after verifying the taxpayer’s identity or income and withholding (i.e., most were legitimate refund claims).” “In 2020” refers to 2020 tax returns, which are being processed curre... read more
Joe Biden's Next Problem: Retail Sales Fell 1.3% in May
*Rachel Bucchino* *Stimulus Spending, * The changed spending habits come as the latest round of direct relief from President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan dried up and prices on products surged after a spike in demand, along with sudden supply shortfalls. U.S. retail sales dropped 1.3 percent in May after a stimulus-induced spending binge bombarded the sector over the last two months. The sales numbers follow an upwardly revised gain in April of 0.9 percent, which were originally reported as flat for the month. May’s decline in retail sales suggests that consumers are pivoting... read more

"Carry On Spending!"
*"Carry On Spending!"* by Bill Bonner "Americans are getting stronger. Twenty years ago, it took two people to carry ten dollars’ worth of groceries.

Here’s the Financial Times: "Biden wins backing from G7 leaders to “carry on spending” …as western leaders rejected austerity in a post-Covid world and vowed to tackle inequality at home and abroad.

The pointless debate over inflation
In the past, I’ve frequently argued that inflation is an almost meaningless and useless concept. I’m not even aware of any coherent definitions of the concept. Unfortunately, the Fed has decided to target PCE inflation, and thus we are forced to pay attention to the issue, and even forecast its future path. Here are two […] The post The pointless debate over inflation appeared first on Econlib. read more
