On trade, Trump is who he claims to be

TRADE: July 12, 2018 When it comes to trade, we should take President Trump at his word. This is one policy area where he’s been remarkably consistent over the years. That’s why I’m always surprised whenever articles, TV commentators or friends in casual conversations argue that his real goal in boldly imposing unilateral tariff hikes is to achieve freer trade. As we embark on...
Telling the truth on trade with China
Veronique de Rugy 06/29/2018 - 9:55pm
CHINA: June 28, 2018 We hear quite a bit of misleading rhetoric against China these days. Let’s grant, for argument’s sake, that the Chinese overproduce steel, dump some of that steel into Canada and Europe before it makes its way to the United States, pilfer intellectual property and have a plan to dominate the world by 2025. It...
Eliminate, don’t expand, electric vehicle credit

ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUBSIDIES: June 21, 2018 For manufacturers of electric vehicles, you might expect the accomplishment of moving their 200,000th unit to be met by celebration. However, because the threshold triggers the reduction of a juicy federal handout that props up electric vehicle sales, we’re getting hand-wringing instead. There’...
It’s time to tame Trump’s tariff temper tantrums
Veronique de Rugy 06/14/2018 - 7:16pm
TARIFFS: June 14, 2018 Another week, another bumbling trade declaration from President Donald Trump. After a very confrontational G-7 meeting, he threatened to cut all member countries — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom — off from the U.S. market if they don’t reduce their tariffs on American exports....
Air travel protectionists’ wings clipped by open skies agreements
Veronique de Rugy 06/01/2018 - 6:33pm
AIR TRAVEL: May 31, 2018 Though competition is great for consumers — as they get more and better goods and services for less money — some companies dislike the constant pressure it creates for them to stay ahead. When that’s the case, it’s no surprise when they call on the government to squash annoying competitors. Case in...
Are health officials strangling the lesser of two evils for the benefit of the greater?
Veronique de Rugy 05/28/2018 - 1:38pm
PUBLIC HEALTH: May 24, 2018 Tobacco kills 480,000 people a year in the United States. Yet when an innovative alternative that delivers nicotine and eliminates 95 percent of the harm of smoking is available, the wary Food and Drug Administration fails to embrace this revolutionary lifesaving technology. All in the name of the children, of course....
