Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore, April 25, 2024 If the economy is so good, why do small business leaders feel so bad? The latest Small Business Optimism Index from the National Federation of Independent Business could hardly be more depressing. It finds that the men and women who run our 33 million small businesses […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore, April 17, 2024 In 1992, Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton famously answered a voter question about how the national debt affected him personally. Clinton’s response was often paraphrased as, “I feel your pain.” Whether Bill was for once being sincere or not, his words resonated. Now President Joe Biden […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore, April 10, 2024 President Joe Biden keeps lecturing corporate America to “pay your fair share” of taxes. It turns out he’s right that some companies really are getting away scot-free from paying taxes. But it isn’t Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley or the Wall Street financial company “fat […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore, April 4, 2024 The Biden administration has announced in recent weeks new stringent emissions requirements for virtually the entire American transportation system.

Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore, February 20, 2024 President Joe Biden is boasting about the recent stock market rally. He’s right that stocks have been on a tear for the last 14 months. The S&P 500 hit 5,000 for the first time in history. That’s up from 500 some 30 years ago. Even with […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore, February 8, 2024 It’s a miracle of private sector innovation and the magic of the free enterprise system that technologies that were only the playthings of the super-rich a generation ago are now available and affordable to almost all Americans.
