The Seattle head tax is idiotic

SEATTLE TAXES: May 17, 2018 The tyranny of local government was on full display this week. The culprits are some greedy members of the Seattle City Council. Backed by their union friends, they just voted to impose a “head tax” on large employers, such as Amazon and Starbucks. The real victims, of course, will be the companies’ employees. Thanks to Seattle’s many thriving...
Trump’s tit-for-tat trade policy could leave the economy in tatters
Veronique de Rugy 04/05/2018 - 8:50am
TARIFFS: April 5, 2018 President Donald Trump claimed in a tweet that “trade wars are good, and easy to win.” Unfortunately, the Chinese government’s swift response to his administration’s decision to impose tariffs on 1,300 Chinese goods with its own set of tariffs on U.S. goods sent to China tells us that his claim may be...
Not even confession is good for the soul of the steel industry

TARIFFS: March 29, 2018 In light of President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs for China, I thought I’d share one thing I’ve learned this year about those who believe in protectionism. Don’t be fooled; even though they claim that America benefits from protectionist policies, many of them know that those policies...
Swamp spending 101: The omnibus spending bill
Veronique de Rugy 03/23/2018 - 2:13pm
GOVERNMENT SPENDING: March 22, 2018 Republicans are once again proving why they actually deserve the label of the biggest swamp spenders. The latest gigantic omnibus spending bill would fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year — with a price tag of $1.3 trillion. That doesn’t include entitlement funding or payments for...
Tell the truth on tariffs
Veronique de Rugy 03/17/2018 - 2:29pm
TARIFFS: March 15, 2018 It was frustrating and depressing to watch President Donald Trump recently announce misguided import taxes on steel and aluminum. Aside from the bad economics behind the decision, the saddest part of the pronouncement was to hear the president promise steel- and aluminum-workers standing behind him, “We’re going...
Uncle Sam continues to stick his head in the sand on entitlements
Veronique de Rugy 03/08/2018 - 10:50pm
ENTITLEMENTS: March 8, 2018 Social Security and Medicare are the two biggest programs driving the growth of our debt. What’s more, they provide benefits for senior Americans generally, without regard to need. It’s time to change the way we think about these programs. It’s difficult to overstate how much of our budget goes toward...
