It's Past Time To Privatize The Post Office Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance A new piece from the Cato Institute lays out how bad things have gotten at the post office, arguing that the United States Postal Service is facing a severe and worsening financial crisis. According to the article, USPS has been losing billions of dollars annually for well over a decade and is now at a point where it cannot realistically fix its problems without major structural changes. I could have told you this after the horror show I lived through at the post office back in September of 2025. The USPS now is the predictable outcome of trying to run a massive logistics operation through a government bureaucracy that moves slowly, resists change, and answers more to politics than to performance. The piece makes clear that USPS was built for a world that no longer exists, yet it continues operating as if nothing has changed because, as usual, government institutions are the last to notice reality. The proble...

Why Firing 9% Of The Federal Workforce Didn't Move The Needle Authored by James Hickman via SchiffSovereign.com, In January 2025, the federal government employed about 3 million people. By November, that number had fallen by roughly 270,000 workers — a reduction of about 9%. According to the Cato Institute, that was the largest peacetime federal workforce reduction EVER. More than 150,000 employees took the “Fork in the Road” buyout offer to resign or retire. Tens of thousands more were laid off outright. Entire offices were emptied. Agencies that had been growing for decades shrank to staffing levels not seen since 2014. And yet, despite historic federal layoffs, government spending went UP last year. The federal government spent $7 trillion in Fiscal Year 2025— roughly $300 billion more than the year before. Bear in mind, 2025 was the year that DOGE was supposed to take a chainsaw to the budget and cut spending. This is not a failure of DOGE. It's a revelation about the actual prob...

"Are We A Nation... Or A Market?" Heritage And Cato Square-Off In Right-Wing Think-Tank Infighting In last night's ZeroHedge immigration debate, Simon Hankinson of the Heritage Foundation and David Bier of the Cato Institute offered sharply different policy prescriptions on the border, ICE, and H1B visas. A proponent of net subzero immigration, Hankinson emphasized national cohesion and first-world culture while warning against treating people as interchangeable labor inputs. Bier, by contrast, defended the increasingly unpopular position of loosening immigration restrictions to allow a freer flow of individuals across the border.  To Bier, who penned the above NYT op-ed late in Biden's term, immigration is a question of individual liberty and voluntary association. Taking the pure libertarian perspective, he believes the government ought not have a role in job protectionism nor prohibiting an individual's movement. Below were the key exchanges for those short on time and listen ...

Immigration: Sovereignty vs. Liberty Few issues contribute to the culture war today more sharply than immigration. Minnesota has proved that… Are certain cultures compatible with the US? Does the government need to “protect jobs” of American workers? Or can business owners hire whomever they wish? Can free people travel wherever they want to? Tonight at 7pm ET, ZeroHedge hosts a debate between two think tanks: the Reaganite Heritage Foundation vs the libertarian Cato Institute on those questions. ? CHAOS IN LA RIGHT NOW ?

Most US Debanking Cases Stem From Government Pressure, Report Says Authored by Stephen Katte via CoinTelegraph.com, The majority of debanking cases in the US are a result of government pressure, rather than individual banks' policies, according to a new report from the American think tank the Cato Institute. Cato Institute analyst Nicholas Anthony explained in a report on Thursday that debanking could take several forms: religious or political, the idea that a financial institution closes accounts solely due to political or religious belief or affiliation; operational, when a bank chooses to close a customer's account as it's no longer in the bank's interest; or government, when a government pressures a financial institution to close a customer's account.  “While media and political narratives often attribute these closures to political or religious discrimination, this study finds that the majority of debanking cases stem from governmental pressure,” he said. Cato Institute anal...
