Wouldn’t it be ironic if Musk’s biggest contribution to reducing the federal deficit turns out to be the cancellation of SpaceX’s contracts?

I agree with Gary Kasparov. Only Congress has the power to prevent tyranny, and we can't afford to wait for the midterms. It only takes 7 brave Republicans rebels to save the Republic. Let's give them some encouragement. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I wrote a book about Theodore Roosevelt and the early progressives' battle against tariffs in 2014. The hardest part was making archaic tariff policy interesting to 21st century readers. And now look where we are.

No one imagined that a future president would dramatically raise tariffs across the board and singlehandedly trigger a global recession.

In the old days, presidents didn’t have so much economic power. Congress controlled tariff policy. Much later, in the 1970s, after tariffs had become economically insignificant, Congress delegated tariff power to the White House so the President could quickly respond to individual trade conflicts.

Among all the insane and immoral things Trump has done, the tariffs will cause the most widespread and profound global suffering. It’s just incredible that one man’s whim has so much power to create ruin.
