Biden's Tax Plan: Could It Work?
James Pethokoukis, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*James Pethokoukis* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Avoiding economic disaster is kind of a low bar by which to judge any policy, especially these days. We need policies that promise to accelerate economic growth. How does Biden's plan look? President Trump likes to say that Bidenomics, particularly its big proposed tax increases, will sink the economy and crash the stock market. A recent Trump tweet summed his forecast in one word: “Depression!” Whatever the political effectiveness of such hyperbole, I think it really misses the point. Most economic modeling doesn’t suppo...

Today we take granted that warfare is mechanized, electronicized, a form of human activity where humans are the least important component. But it didn't seem that way in 1914.
