No killing of innocent people can be called a “negligible statistic.” But what label do you apply when an entire government stands by and does nothing, while millions of people die?  Continue reading “Lone shooters, terrorism, and semantics”

On Thursday Democrat presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren tweeted a video clip in which she pledged “executive action in every corner” for gun control.

Warren said, “40,000 Americans died last year from gun violence.” Warren’s claim is actually a loose reference to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention numbers for 2017–the most recent numbers–which show 39,773 people died in a firearm-related death.  Continue reading “Elizabeth Warren Pledges ‘Executive Action in Every Corner’ for Gun Control”

‘There is no barrier for U.S. Treasury yields going below zero. Zero has no meaning, beside being a certain level.’

There is some $15 trillion in government debt that now yields less than zero, and former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan believes there’s no reason why U.S. government bond yields couldn’t join much of the developed world in the subzero world.  Continue reading “Ex-Fed boss Greenspan says ‘there is no barrier’ to Treasury yields falling below zero”
