Dropping the BAT is key to passing tax reform this year

TAX REFORM: June 22, 2017 House Speaker Paul Ryan just made his pitch to the country about tax reform. He wants it, and he wants it before the end of 2017 because, as he said in his prepared remarks, “we cannot let this once-in-a-generation moment slip by.” That’s all well and good, except that the main factor holding up tax reform is the speaker’s insistence that the...
Scapegoating businesses for bad government policy
Veronique de Rugy 06/15/2017 - 2:33pm
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS: June 15, 2017 There’s a disturbing and counterproductive tendency to scapegoat individual businesses for responding predictably to conditions established by the choices politicians make. A recent example is a replay of last year’s attacks on Mylan, which manufactures the popular epinephrine auto-injector EpiPen...

TRUMP’S BUDGET: May 25, 2017 President Donald Trump’s first budget proposal is finally out, and it boldly promises to deliver a “new foundation for American greatness.” I guess that grandiose language is supposed to resonate with those voters who don’t understand how the budget process actually works. The sad reality...
The dangers of federalizing hearing aid rules
Veronique de Rugy 05/18/2017 - 1:17pm
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS: May 18, 2017 One of the obstacles to reversing the tide of growing government is that so many of the laws and regulations advanced with the rhetoric of limited government end up expanding government’s scope and power instead. Politicians disingenuously talk of freeing markets by passing new regulations or of expanding...
Is the U.S. on the path to French-style economic sclerosis?
Veronique de Rugy 05/11/2017 - 9:48am
ECONOMY: May 11, 2017 There is a lot of debate over President Donald Trump’s record after his first 100-plus days in office. Defenders of the president point to his successful efforts on deregulation, the successful appointment to the Supreme Court of Neil Gorsuch and his steadfast desire to implement substantial tax reform. Critics point to...
