Rand Paul: Restore The Bill of Rights

By Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

Two hundred and twenty-five years ago today, a young nation made ten additions to its already revolutionary Constitution.

In contrast to almost all of the legislation Congress passes today, the Bill of Rights is full of language such as “Congress shall ma...

Myth-Busters - Will Trump Flip His Position On Yellen?

Trump is not bashful about flipping positions. While campaigning, he correctly pointed out that we're in a bubble and that The Fed is responsible for it. But as President, will Trump flip and call on Yellen to keep rates low, or even lower them? Will he call for more air to be blown into the bubble?

Oh boy...Republicans Already Crying About Higher Rates

By Chris Rossini

The Fed raised interest rates by a measly .25% and already cries from the right can be heard. The Fed must be sabotaging the incoming Trump Administration!

Let's look at an example from Ann Coulter.She tweeted:

To dispel rumors that the Fed is political, Yellen to raise interest rates for 1st time during Obama admin ... in time for the Trump admin.

First let's start with what Coulter got right. The Fed is political. They are the financier for the wars and welfare of the biggest g...

Putin-palooza: The Greatest Show on Earth!
