House Passes $867 Billion Farm Bill Which Rejects Curbs On Food Stamps, at zerohedge.com. I’m surprised Elon Musk hasn’t figured out a way to get his hands on some of this money. The Government is confiscating the production of some people and redistributing it to others people who haven’t earned it. What is sad is that the supposed party of small government (Republicans) voted for this big government bill.
McKenzie Adams, Alabama 9-Year-Old Who Hung Herself, Faced Racist Bullying, Her Family Says, by Issac Stanley-Becker, at washingtonpost.com. This story is an example of the main stream media shaping the news by what they don’t report. I read the first page of articles of this stories google search. Not one article mentioned that the bullies were black kids. If you read the headlines you would think white kids bullied her. Ask yourself this, if it was white kids doing the bullying, would it have been front page news.

We Need Unilateral Free Trade With Post-Brexit Britain, by Ryan McMaken, at mises.org. The EU and pro EU bureaucrats in Great Britain are trying to over turn the vote of the British people who decided to get out of the EU. Bureaucrats say they can’t come up with a Brexit deal they can agree on. Why do you need a new “deal” to get out of the old deal. How about you just state that the EU rules no longer apply. That’s one sentence. These bureaucrats are fighting the Brexit straw man they created in order to run out the clock and force another Brexit vote in the hope it turns out different this time.

What Is Economic Growth? (And What Is It Not?), by Per Bylund, at mises.org. Increasing productivity is economic growth. In other words producing more output with less imput. Here is an except from the article: “….increased productivity really increases the purchasing power of all money, including (and most importantly) low wages, thus making it much more ‘affordable’ to satisfy one’s needs and wants. But note that the distribution of such prosperity cannot be equal or instantaneous: any new innovation, new good, new service, etc will be created somewhere, by someone– it cannot be created for seven billion plus people instantaneously. So anything new, including new jobs and new productive abilities, has to spread–as ripples–across the economy.”
The Myth Of The Neutral Interest Rate, by Frank Shostak, at mises.org. It is impossible for Federal Reserve policy makers to know what the neutral interest rate should be at any particular time. Excerpt from the article: “Now, even if the Fed were to know the level of the neutral rate it could not achieve economic stability. The reason being that the Fed would have to pursue active monetary policies to maintain the neutral rate target”
“This act however, will lead to boom-bust cycles and economic instability. Hence, there cannot be such thing as the neutral interest rate policy, which will result in economic and price stability.”
“Rather than targeting the money market interest rate towards the unknown neutral rate by means of monetary tampering, which leads to more instability, a better alternative is to leave the economy alone, In a free market economy without a central bane, no one would be conducting any kind of monetary policies.”
“In the absence of central bank monetary policies, which enrich some individuals at the expense of other individuals, interest rates that emerge will be truly neutral.”
“In a free market, no one then would be required to establish whether the interest rate is above or below some kind of imaginary equilibrium.”
