INSIDE THIS ISSUE
T his month, we’re featuring a subject you can’t mention in polite company... politics. Editor in chief P.J. O’Rourke gets us started with why kids today are drawn to socialism... They’re broke, so they want to make the world nicer with your money. Then, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud details why the political environment is a good thing for the market... and why we could see a triple- digit boom in tech stocks over the next 12 months. Former presidential speechwriter and veteran journalist Andrew Ferguson gives us the “big picture” look at this midterm election – what we call the Super Bowl for Scallywags. Financial analyst Porter Stansberry reveals why he doesn’t vote. P.J. shares the reaction that left-wing kooks, right-wing nuts, and random fruitcakes might have to two of America’s most important documents. And former presidential economic adviser Michael J. Boskin looks at why even if the economy doesn’t affect the election, the election will affect the economy. Don’t miss Alice B. Lloyd ’s fantastic profile of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... the New York socialist who defeated a longtime incumbent and is bound for Congress. Ocasio-Cortez is the voice of a generation that doesn’t know what it wants.
And Bill McGilton examines why America’s most expensive – and important – problem won’t even get mentioned this midterm election... but you’ll still pay for it. P.J. wonders: What do progressives really want? The answer should scare the hell out of you. And along similar lines, award-winning investigative journalist Peter Byrne looks at “zombie theories” of rent control – coming soon to an apartment building near you. We also speak with financial analyst Matt McCall about a few of the “big themes” that he’s looking at... including pot stocks, 5G, and gene editing. And former CIA analyst Buck Sexton finishes us off with why emotions matter more than facts in the 2018 election. Enjoy the issue. And tell us what you think at feedback@americanconsequences.com.
