Larry Kudlow’s opinion in the NY Sun regarding the 3+% GDP growth announced by the U.S. government this past week. Unfortunately for those celebrating this event – particularly those in the White House – the bad news, as Kudlow notes, is that all of the growth is attributable to massive deficit spending by the government, which will not have a happy ending for consumers, businesses, and taxpayers.

I urge you to read the New York Sun editorial titled “How Will We Survive the ‘Deluge of Debt’?”. We all know and talk about the mountain of debt that exists not only in the in the United State but throughout the world. It was my incredible honor, as Chairman of the FDIC, to work side by side with the legendary central banker now deceased, Paul A. Volcker, from 1978 when he was appointed by President Carter as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

My longtime friend and colleague, Tom Vartanian, has published a new article in The Hill on the urgent need to impose meaningful federal regulation on the Crypto industry. He makes a compelling case for protecting the public from potentially significant losses in these volatile and risky instruments.

Now more than ever, proper preparation will be key to banks’ survival. This article was written by Jim Watkins and Ed Hida of Secura/Isaac Group to encourage banks to plan for tougher regulatory oversight.

My friend, Alex Pollock, Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute, published a disturbing but important article in the New York Sun on Friday. It shows graphically how destructive our fiscal and monetary policies have been over the past two decades. These policies began with massive deficit spending by Congress, approved by the last four Presidents.

I recommend a recent Wall Street Journal article by Kevin Warsh, former Governor of the Federal Reserve and a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution.
