Education Scholarship Tax Credits and Undercover Boss: Feeling Good While Fixing Nothing
You remember *Undercover Boss. *The mostly-reality show shows a high-level executive putting on a disguise and going out into the trenches of the company.

And that made me the big success story of my district.) One of the great problems, perhaps the greatest, facing schools ... more »

Clyburn Is Wrong About The Mueller Report Being A "Chapter Closed"
Last month, Chuck Todd's team at NBC News posed 10 questions that they were looking for Mueller to answer. Only 2 of the 10 were answered-- more or less-- in Barr's press release so I guess it will be up to Jerry Nadler, Ted Lieu, Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, David Cicilline, and the other Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee to get to the bottom of the questions. The two that were answered were whether or not Trump would be-- as he certainly should have been-- subpoenaed and if any of the other crooked players who blatantly and indisputably lied to Congress would be charg... more »

"The Most Important Chart in Economics?"
*"The Most Important Chart in Economics?"* by Peter Diekmeyer "Earlier this month, the U.S. Federal Reserve quietly released the Financial Accounts of the United States. Like most government data, the 198-page report (known to insiders as the Z1) is almost impossible to understand. However, to the economists and accountants who wade their way through the mess, the implications are clear. America has been growing government, business and household debts faster than its economy for more than four decades. Despite the huge run up in asset prices during that time, the country is essenti... more »

Led astray by the Steele dossier!
*TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 2019Isikoff lowers the boom:* Today's New York Times features several reports about discouraged liberals who had been led astray. They'd put their faith in the idea that Robert Mueller was going to frog-march the whole Trump gang away. Many had received this idea while watching their favorite reporters and friends performing on "cable news." Astead Herndod filed this report about liberals who joined "the cult of Mueller." Amy Chozick, perhaps an occasional hustler herself, summed things up this way: CHOZICK (3/26/19): Mr. Mueller’s complete report hasn’t yet... more »
