Trump paving the road to overtime pay with good intentions

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...
Trump’s trade talk: NAFTA, the new NAFTA or no NAFTA?
Veronique de Rugy 12/10/2018 - 2:32pm
TRADE: December 6, 2018 After spending months complaining about the disparity between the United States and other nations’ duties, along with the unfair treatment of U.S. exporters, President Trump is once again threatening to pull the plug on one of the best tariff-equalizing deals ever made: The North American Free Trade Agreement. As...
Will a lame-duck Congress once again overextend itself?
Veronique de Rugy 11/29/2018 - 5:26pm
TAX EXTENDERS: November 29, 2018 Last year’s tax reform represented a first step toward improving the tax code by making it simpler, fairer and slightly less distortive. As Congress considers taking up a so-called tax-extenders bill before the new Democratic-controlled House is seated, any hope of continuing a reformation requires vigilance...

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS: November 22, 2018 On this Thanksgiving weekend, I thought it would be appropriate to remind Americans about some of the tremendous technological advancements we should be thankful for: Better cellphones, safer cars, Lasik eye surgery and drones that deliver pizza and life-saving medications. Technology also provides...
Digital tax fight not yet over
Veronique de Rugy 11/15/2018 - 8:41pm
EU TAXES: November 15, 2018 Indications suggest that the Paris-led effort to impose EU-level taxes on cross-border digital services has stalled. Opponents correctly painted the effort as a blatant tax grab against American tech giants like Facebook, Google and Amazon — noting also that it would apply to revenue, rather than profits. But it...
Another Republican capitulation on health care
Veronique de Rugy 11/12/2018 - 3:49pm
HEALTH CARE: November 8, 2018 Republicans have established a clear pattern on health care. First, they rail against whatever big-government scheme Democrats propose. Then, after a half-hearted and incompetent effort to convince the public of the benefits of a market-oriented system, they abandon their principles and adopt the big-government idea...
