Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Here is Moore’s rule of modern-day politics: The better the economy performs under President Donald Trump and the more successes he racks up, the more unhinged the Left becomes. It’s a near linear relationship. And it goes for media as well. That’s why the monthly jobs announcements and the […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore I have spent some three decades railing against faulty budgetary scoring of tax bills, but the latest charade from the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Tax Committee takes the cake. The story of fiscal phony math is so indefensible when it comes to the Trump tax cut that you […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Liberals love to talk about helping the poor and the middle class, and they are obsessed with reducing income inequality. So why is it that across the country they are pushing one of the most regressive taxes in modern times? I am talking about the fad “green” initiative in […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore This past week I asked a friend at the White House about how the president was holding up against the onslaught of media attacks. “They didn’t even deliver a glancing blow,” was the response. It wasn’t for a lack of trying. Has any president in modern times been the […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore A few years ago, I spoke at my son’s fifth-grade class about all of the wonderful things that we have today in our great country that weren’t around 100 years ago, including inventions like cars. A pony-tailed girl in the front of the room raised her hand and, with […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Republicans are right to call for tough measures to deter illegal immigration — which means building the wall, ending the “catch and release” policy and challenging the harboring strategies of sanctuary cities. But where Republicans are wrong is in calling for strict caps and even reductions in legal immigration […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Last week, I testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on the state of the American labor market. I summarized my message in one sentence: For American workers, the job market has never — or at least seldom — been better. If you don’t have a […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Remember Obamacare? The fight is far from over on the future of the Obama-era health insurance overhaul. Republicans are making a last-ditch effort this year to turn the program and the money over to the states. This isn’t full Obamacare repeal, but it would make a world of sense. […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore Is it possible that Donald Trump is winning on trade? Last week, Trump apparently delivered two underappreciated victories as a result of his threat of stiff tariffs and renegotiated trade deals. First, Seoul has agreed to reduce long-standing non-tariff trade barriers that have reduced American exports to Korea. Though […]
Special to WorldTribune.com By Stephen Moore There are a lot of things right with Donald Trump’s immigration vision and a few things that are misguided. It’s worth reviewing which is which. I was privileged to learn my immigration economics and history from the very best, Julian Simon. I was a research assistant for his classic […]
