For two big reasons, there is still no sight of lower interest rates for Americans.
For two major reasons, you should plan your personal finances on the premise that interest rates will remain high for the long haul.
The U.S. government has faced a sharp rise in debt costs in the past year—but that was only the beginning. The numbers presented here should scare Congress into debt panic.
At the start of 2024, there was a trend break on the market for sovereign debt that suggests investors may be asking a risk premium to buy U.S. government debt.
There is only one way that Congress can permanently end its budget deficits. Here is how to get the job done.
The U.S. Congress has ignored the budget deficit for decades. Debt investors have almost run out of patience. Will Congress address the problem—or continue to play for time?
The prospect for lower interest rates in Europe is fading, but the reason has nothing to do with the European economy. The reason is found on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Many analysts think that today’s interest rates are the exception and that rates should always be low. History tells a different story.
If Congress decides to compensate NATO for insufficient European funding, they may have a run-in with the investors on the market for U.S. government debt.

Good news! America has avoided a recession. But the Federal Reserve can still make one happen.
Americans for Tax Reform have a new spending reform project. Will it work? Is it ‘conservative enough’? We have the analysis.
The Federal Reserve, eager to not let a good crisis go to waste, is using the SVB crisis to quietly turn on the money supply faucet again.
Given the high level of economic integration in Europe, it is unlikely that a recession will be confined to half the continent.
Although some countries have recovered, overall economic activity has been disappointing. To make matters worse, a closer look at capital formation—a.k.a., business investments—and consumer spending suggest that a recession is in fact just around the corner.
Neoconservative ideology is on a collision course with traditional conservatism. Where the former wants a more centralized government, the latter seeks solutions that strengthen local communities and give people as much power over their own lives as possible.
