Trump’s Labor Department provides clarity on joint employment
01/26/2020 - 3:08pm

LABOR: January 23, 2020 Three years into the Trump administration, we see a clear pattern forming. The Obama administration implemented labor rules that make the labor market less flexible, often at the expense of smaller businesses, but in ways that made unions happy. The Trump administration then takes these rules away. The latest example is the dismantling of the Obama Labor Department’s...
Social engineering run amok in the Department of Labor
Veronique de Rugy 01/17/2020 - 4:14pm
LABOR: January 16, 2020 A few years ago, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released two reports detailing enforcement and litigation abuses by the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or OFCCP. Instead of holding firms accountable when they engage in real discrimination against their employees, the agency has...
Once again, government-subsidized projects fail to deliver
Veronique de Rugy 01/13/2020 - 10:30pm
SUBSIDIES: January 9, 2020 In June 2018, President Donald Trump attended the groundbreaking ceremony for a Foxconn factory in Wisconsin. Ever exuberant in his comments, he called the project the “eighth wonder of the world” and “one of the great deals, ever.” Always a bragger, his praise was directed at himself for...

CONGRESS: January 2, 2020 Mark Twain once wrote, “New Year’s is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions, and we wish you to enjoy it with a looseness suited to the greatness of the occasion.” I love this quote, which is...
Was 2019 the year of peak entitlement mentality?
Veronique de Rugy 12/28/2019 - 2:36pm
ECONOMY: December 26, 2019 Looking back at 2019 is incredibly disorienting. The country is horribly divided. In fact, the president of the United States was just impeached along partisan lines. The government is running trillion dollar (and growing) annual budget deficits, even though the economy is doing well. Still, listening to many politicians...
Will the Fed edge out the competition with real-time payments?
Veronique de Rugy 12/17/2019 - 7:13pm
FEDERAL RESERVE: December 12, 2019 Imagine what it must be like for private companies that have invested in a new technology and suddenly find out they have to compete with a tax-supported government agency — the very one that also regulates the industry. That’s what happened when the Federal Reserve entered the real-time payments...
