Gloomy backdrop for first Albanese budgetThe “bread and butter” budget promised by the Albanese government may leave stretched households disappointed but there’s a reason for keeping a lid on cost-of-living relief. That’s because the Albanese government will deliver its first budget against a backdrop of runaway inflation that’s wreaking economic havoc around the world.

Like a child with his hand caught in the cookie jar, Biden continually tells the American people, “I didn’t do it!” In fact, yes he did. And he still is. “Let’s debunk some myths: My administration has not stopped or slowed U.S. oil production,” Biden said on Wednesday, adding that he’s “doing everything in my power to reduce gasoline prices.” Is that true? In fact, the entire energy policy of the Biden administration has been directed at not just slowing, but stopping U.S.... read more

The Fight Against Inflation Doesn’t Have To Be Rich-People FriendlyThe world’s central bankers, almost without exception, are now busy swinging sledgehammers. Only whopping interest-rate hikes, they’re preaching, can pound down inflation’s rising prices. In the United States, the Federal Reserve has so far this year raised the nation’s benchmark interest rate by three points, something that hasn’t happened since the 1980s, and still more rate hikes, the Fed pledges, are coming. These interest-rate boosts, the central banker reasoning goes, will slow the economy, deflate consumer demand, and get prices shrinking. The downside? Federal Reserve cha... read more
