Many people talking about how gasoline prices at the pump have already jumped. But what should really terrify Republicans is RBOB — the futures price on wholesale gasoline. This is up 75 cents a gallon since its low earlier this year.

There are hints of criticism from former Fed officials: it is not a compliment to have people say you are confused about your signature policy proposal. I hope I am wrong in my concerns.

Sometimes you wonder. Bloomberg this morning saying that you can't both believe that AI is a big deal and that we're in a bubble. But you absolutely can! That's exactly the story of the tech bubble of the 90s, major economic impact but not big profits. Sigh.
