Whenever I say that I don’t gamble with money, someone inevitably asks if I own a mutual fund. “Yes,” I admit, “but the government made me do it by dismantling the Glass-Steagall Act.” I can assure you, mention the Glass-Steagall Act and wiseacres zip it.

Read MoreOn September 20th, Joe Biden issued an executive order to establish a climate corps. Instead of reinstating former government projects that worked well, he rang the climate social justice bell:
“The American Climate Corps will mobilize a new, diverse generation . . . will focus on equity and environmental justice – prioritizing communities traditionally left behind . . . prioritizing . . . the Administration’s Justice40 goal. . .calling on Tribal, State, and local governments, labor unions, nonprofit service allies, the private sector, and philanthropy to collaborate with the Federal government . . .” 1.
