If Stephen Miller's interview with CNN last night doesn't terrify you, you're not paying attention. It's not only what they are doing in Venezuela. It's what is coming next.

There are no shortcuts to affordability. stayathomemacro.substack.com/p/there-are-... My new piece argues that the challenge for policymakers now is to support stable, sustainable growth. No quick fixes or gimmicks. We need “some years” of good policy.
There are no shortcuts to affordability

President Macron says "We must acknowledge that these imbalances are both the result of weak EU productivity and China’s policy of export-driven growth."
The first part of that statement is technically not true.

This is thinly disguised homophobia by Farage.

Nigel Farage:
"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."
Farage has two ex-wives.
