On The Jim Bohannon Show, Brian Domitrovic
provides a terrific discussion of supply-side economics.

On Fox News Sunday, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (WI) firmly
opposes the Federal Reserve’s planned quantitative easing, but doesn’t say what the Republican House will do about it.

Surely the electorate will reward pro-growth proposals.

At Classic Capital, Wayne Jett decries the Fed’s QE plan.

At New World Economics, Nathan Lewis diagnoses Japan’s economic weakness.

On Friday’s Kudlow Report, Stephen Moore debates tax rates:





In The WSJ, Robert Frank reports on why the Washington state initiative to raise taxes on the rich failed.
