• Huge Bubble in India Home Prices Ready to Burst Sat May 11
  Mike Shedlock
  Home prices have increased far more rapidly than reported inflation, which I propose is hugely understated. Inflation measures typically do not reflect actual property prices and certainly do not reflect other asset bubbles. ... more
• Great Moments in Government: The IRS Apologizes for Bias while Denying Bias Sat May 11
  Daniel J. Mitchell
  I’m happy to bash the IRS, but I usually try to explain that our anger should be focused on the politicians who created the corrupt, 74,000-page tax code. But sometimes the IRS deserves some negative attention. ... more

• Maybe It’s the Lawsuits that Stop Banks from Making Loans Fri May 10
  John Ransom
  The numbers don’t suggest that the New York Attorney General is trying to help anyone but himself. You see, the State of New York has paid $176,991.15 to find each of 339 violations, assuming every violation would be provable in a court of law. It would be much more efficient just to give homeowners enough cash to get current on their homes. ... more

• A Different Market Message Fri May 10
  Charles Payne
  Hey, remember when the stock market used to be a harbinger of things to come? There was a time when stocks would make big moves that almost always predicted the US economy over the next six to twelve months. What if that's happening right now while everyone else is focused on the rearview mirror stuff and voodoo monetary policies? ... more
• Which Presidents Are Right about Government? Fri May 10
  Daniel J. Mitchell
  When I was becaming interested in public policy, I thought Jimmy Carter was the epitome of a bad President. But as I began to learn economics, I realized that Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson also were terrible and belong in the Hall of Fame of bad Presidents. ... more
• Stock Market at All-Time High; You Must Be at an All-Time High Too Fri May 10
  Fritz Pfister
  Bloomberg Macro indicators have fallen to seven month lows as the S&P 500 sets record highs. That hasn’t happened since 2007. Macro declines, market goes up. Must be a coincidence it mirrors 2007 trend lines. ... more
• The Job-of-the-Week Club Fri May 10
  Bob Goldman
  If getting a new job every week seems unrealistic, you really should talk to Roman Krznaric. Mr. Krznaric is an author, and in the week he held that position, or so I presume, he dashed out a book, "How to Find Fulfilling Work," in which he promotes the concept of changing jobs about as often as you change your underwear. ... more

• What is the Orwellian Translation for Marketplace Fairness? Thu May 9
  Michael Schaus
  Well. . . It has been quite a while since Al Gore invented the internet. So, I guess it’s about time government finds a way to tax it. Generally speaking, when the word “Fairness” appears in a tax bill, you can guarantee someone is getting ripped off. ... more
• The Obama Jobs Record: Some Good News, but Only if the Bar Is Lowered Thu May 9

• When a question is a lie; it makes all the difference Thu May 9
  Shawn Mitchell
  What difference does it make that Secretary of State Clinton ran the kind of shop where pleas from an ambassador in the hottest of global hot spots could be either denied by SOS or ignored by staff? ... more
• First They Junked the Constitution Wed May 8
  Charles Payne
  There is a serious push to junk the US Constitution, and it's not going away anytime soon. It's scary to think, but the same approach for legalizing pot and for pushing immigration is being used. Chip away with a subtle approach aided by some folks on the fringe, then make the circle tighter and tighter. ... more
• The Market Made New Highs; What Did You Do? Wed May 8
  John Ransom
  When I was a broker this phenomena was explained thusly: Individual investors don’t make money in the market, they just borrow it from the institutional investors for a while. ... more

• A Sinister, Separate Entity Those Voices Warned You About Tue May 7
  John Ransom
  Losing the man-hour equivalent of 500,000 workers costs about $18 billion per year for just last month. Imagine: All that accomplished in a one-month time span. I guess we all can be thankful that April only had 30 days, not 31. ... more
• Dave Says Here Are the Necessities Tue May 7

• Are Americans Rational About Risk, or a Bunch of “Paranoid Nuts”? Mon May 6
  Daniel J. Mitchell
  A recent poll by Fox News found that a plurality of Americans would not give up personal freedoms to reduce the threat of terrorism. What’s especially remarkable is that this poll took place immediately following the bombing of the Boston Marathon by the welfare-sponging Tsarnaev brothers. ... more
