    Treasury Secretary Nominee Likes $7.25 an hour minimum wage

    It is important to remember that "how much you earn per hour" is less important than "how much you can buy with what you earn." Buying power is ultimately what is important. One problem with minimum wage (especially high minimums) is that it forces business to be restrained in their hiring...

    as a Chinese, I want to know how American peoples living situation like

    In the United States of America, many of these economic differences, whether small or large, are downstream from (a result of) the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In this context, the individual person has a high degree of Freedom and a high degree of Responsibility. It is generally easier to...

    A Warning from an Economist: Many of Trump's Policies are Going to Hurt His Supporters

    Any given Economic Policy, in general, does not help, hurt, or harm any more than any other. Instead, business and the exchange of currency, goods, and services, adapt (aka shift). Sure, large shifts in policy will drive large shifts in how some (or many) people do business. Change is often...

    Prayer to Dispel Anger and Hate

    Lord, God, I pray that You are present and felt in this situation. Bring peace of mind and spirit, bring calm to our hearts, replace our perspective of the world with Your perspective. I pray that you open our eyes to see Your creation as You see it. It seems as though anger and forgiveness...

    prayers please

    Father, God, let our faith be in You alone. We know that the present suffering pales in comparison of what is to come. Help us in our unbelief. Lord, draw us close and bring healing for this brother in his time of need. In Jesus Christ, Amen.
