No subsidy can outrun inflation. No price control can fix scarcity. And no temporary government program can make up for a permanent overspending habit.

As Washington keeps borrowing to finance deficits, it’s not politicians who pay the price – it’s you. The US public debt tops $30 trillion – and it keeps growing. If Congress doesn’t control spending, higher taxes and inflation will end up dictating our future. Watch this explainer from Cato's Romina Boccia to learn more. | The Cato Institute

Supporters of Trump’s trade policies argue that free trade caused the decline in manufacturing jobs after the 1970s. But in truth, America’s shift away from manufacturing began nearly a century ago. We’re making more with less. That’s not failure. That’s progress. In the book "Crushing Capitalism," Norbert Michel makes the case for how free markets—not protectionism—have raised living standards. Don’t fall for the myths. 📘 Pre-order now: https://www.cato.org/books/crushing-capitalism | The Cato
