The dwindling difference between our two parties on spending
08/12/2022 - 8:12pm
Veronique de Rugy
SPENDING: August 11, 2022 For a few years, I have sounded the alarm that a growing wave of conservatives are working to make Republicans indistinguishable from Democrats on social spending. Some say that to win elections, Republicans need to pay more attention to families — by which they mean dole out ever more money to families like the Democrats do. Exhibit A for this development is the...
More congressional meddling won’t put more planes in the sky
Veronique de Rugy 08/08/2022 - 11:41am
TRANSPORTATION: August 4, 2022 Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Alex Padilla, D-Calif., recently asked the Department of Transportation to fine airlines for delays and cancellations and prevent airline consolidation. The widespread delays and cancellations are indeed annoying, but the senators’ demands won’t help any more than...
What to expect from Washington’s latest industrial policy
Veronique de Rugy 07/29/2022 - 11:38pm
CHINA: July 28, 2022 Industrial policy is making a comeback. For those of you under the age of 50, this is just another term for corporate welfare -- a lovely name for the unlovely practice of a government granting subsidies, protective tariffs and other privileges to politically influential industries or companies. It’s often done in the...
Antitrust craze would unplug technological progress
Veronique de Rugy 07/22/2022 - 10:03pm
TECHNOLOGY: July 21, 2022 Always beware of the name given to a piece of legislation. It rarely describes accurately the likely impact of enacting a bill. In fact, statutes often do the opposite of what their names suggest. Take Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s, D-Minn., proposed legislation named the American Innovation and Choice Online Act. While...
Shed no tears for the floundering global tax cartel
Veronique de Rugy 07/15/2022 - 3:22pm
TAXES: July 14, 2022 Implementing a global tax cartel is hard. This lesson is being learned by the bureaucrats who dreamt up an effort to prevent businesses from taking advantage of the fact that some countries impose lower taxes than do other countries. A year after 130 jurisdictions agreed in principle to institute a global minimum tax rate of...
With spending and inflation, it’s more of the same
Veronique de Rugy 07/10/2022 - 5:06pm
ECONOMY: July 7, 2022 The go-to policy for dealing with nearly every modern problem is more government spending. So it was just a matter of time before Democrats tried to revive the failed “Build Back Better” (BBB) program to address today’s economic troubles. Of course, if they succeed, the result will be much the same as what...
