OVERTIME PAY: January 17, 2019 Back in 2016, the Obama administration passed an overtime-pay regulation that would have required employers to pay overtime for salaried employees who earn less than $47,476 per year. But its implementation was blocked by a federal judge in November 2016 in response to a lawsuit filed by states and businesses. That regulation is back in the news, however, after the...

ONLINE GAMBLING: January 10, 2019 The government has been shut down for over two weeks and is on track to become the longest shutdown in U.S. history. As for how long the current standoff between the Trump administration and the Democratic congress is going to last, your guess is as good as mine. It’s a gamble for both sides. That makes it...
Here’s to making 2019 a year for D.C. to remember

CONGRESS: December 27, 2018 The primary job of Congress is to pass a budget. Yet year after year, its members fail to do their job. This year is no different. The week before Christmas, and in the midst of a budget deficit that’s exploding along with the national debt, the Senate rushed to prepare a stopgap spending bill to keep the...
A deficit-happy government may lead to a debt-driven financial crisis

NATIONAL DEBT: December 20, 2018 There are milestones you celebrate: A kid’s first step, a round-numbered birthday, a marriage anniversary. And then there are the milestones you dread: Reaching $22 trillion in national debt is one of them. We’re slated to reach that number next month, yet nobody seems to care. The $22 trillion figure...
Will uprisings thwart green central planners?

CLIMATE-CHANGE POLICES: December 13, 2018 You know you’ve got a problem when your tax schemes are even being rejected by the French. While there’s always a danger in reducing the causes of political unrest to a single issue, the plan to impose yet another regressive $9 billion annual carbon tax proved to be a catalyst for the “...
