Obama is never done raising taxes. He is a lawyer – not an economist. He and the Democrats are just hopeless. No matter what you show them, they are just out to destroy our freedom and the Republicans are too blind to even observe the real economy. Congress has now under consideration a online sales […]

What is interesting is that those who manage the more than $11 trillion in reserves for central banks know more than what they are revealing. Previously, on April 4th we reported that China’s debt holding in Euros fell to BELOW 7%. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/2013/04/04/chinas-external-debt-in-euros-drops-to-below-7/ We have been collecting the raw data on the reserve holdings and will […]

One of the critical factors that contributed to the collapse of Empires, Nations, and City States is when the Rule of Law collapses. Some have asked where they can read more about jurisdiction and the Rule of Law. William Blackstone published in 1765 the seminal work on this subject. His writing served as the foundation upon […]

The next important turning point will be the week of the 29th. Using the Globex rather than the CSI perpetual synthetic contracts, we did not elect the reversals on Friday.
