TRADE: May 16, 2019 President Donald Trump and his supporters often tell us that he is fundamentally a free trader. The current trade war with China, they say, is simply the small price we must pay now for a world of much freer trade tomorrow, when all governments lower their trade barriers in fear of Trump’s hard-bargaining techniques.

Veronique de Rugy 04/04/2019 - 9:15pm
PAID LEAVE: April 4, 2019 As the saying goes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. This is a perfect way to describe the current effort by Democrats and some conservatives to implement a federal paid leave program. If the United States implements this policy, they believe...

At issue this week...    Federal Budget The Trump administration just delivered a massive budget to Congress. A look at the numbers and the talking points drafted to defend it confirms that budgets favor politics over policy. This also confirms that it really doesn’t matter who is in the White House. Big spenders will spend...
Politics trump policy once again in budget debate
Veronique de Rugy 03/14/2019 - 8:41pm
FEDERAL BUDGET: March 14, 2019 The Trump administration just delivered a massive budget to Congress. A look at the numbers and the talking points drafted to defend it confirms that budgets favor politics over policy. This also confirms that it really doesn’t matter who is in the White House. Big spenders will spend and then dissemble to...
