Global agriculture markets have substantial impacts on local Mississippi communities
For Mississippi’s agricultural economy, global trade is vital. Even before global headlines seized on the fact that for the first time in a half-century, China’s mammoth population was in decline, Fiscal Year 2023 U.S. agricultural trade projections were down overall and specifically down with China.

Will Congress raise the debt ceiling (again)?
By borrowing, rather than raising taxes, those in Washington D.C. have been able to find money for their various boondoggles.

Throughout the nineteenth and…

Politics should not drive Medicaid expansion decision
The formula worked in those states that adopted expansion, but not in those that didn’t, including Mississippi. Once again Medicaid expansion is a hot topic in Mississippi politics. Those who oppose expansion make several arguments to support their opposition. “It costs too much. It’s socialism. It’s not a silver bullet. The whole healthcare system needs…

Accountability, real-world outcomes needed in Mississippi mental health system
At issue is whether the state’s mental health system helps people with mental illness.
