When this conflict in Ukraine began, it all seemed so black and white, so clear cut. Russia, in a wanton act of aggression and with no provocation, had invaded Ukraine. And, as has often been the case throughout our history, America rode to the rescue of Ukraine.

For months, the Biden Administration and the Federal Reserve have told us that this Economy is just like Goldilocks. The tale of a little girl who finds that breakfast has been served. And what's more, it's "just right." Like the Economy, it's not too hot, and it's not too cold. President Biden tells us that we're "building back better." Over at the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell tells us that endless monetary tightening will solve the inflation problem without causing undue slowing in the Economy. It's all "just right."

In the history of Western Civilization, tensions have nearly always existed between the power and authority of the citizens and that of the State. It's easy to forget that Rome began as a Republic and only later transitioned into the Roman Empire. Power transferred, as if on a great Pendulum, from the people to the Caesar. For Rome, this move toward autocracy was due primarily to the life and death of one man, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus.
