The American Dream Is In Jeopardy: 2.9 millions jobs cut in America, 2.4 million created overseas

    As The Wall Street Journal reports, “companies cut their work forces in the U.S. by 2.9 million during the 2000s while increasing employment overseas by 2.4 million.” That’s in stark contrast from a decade ago, when for every job U.S. multinational companies created abroad, they created nearly two jobs here in America, according to economist Matthew Slaughter.

When Unions Get Desperate

    Wall Street Journal: There haven’t been any major earthquakes or wildfires in California recently, but teachers apparently think that the potential budget cuts to education merit a “State of Emergency Week.” The California Teachers Association, the state’s largest teachers union, is planning a week of activities in May. The goal is to pressure Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown and the state legislature to raise taxes rather than cut education spending.

We Don’t Have A Divided Government: We Have A Broken Government And No Leadership.

    Jason Bradley writes at Breitbart Big Government: The state of our national government is in shambles. We are so far removed from the traditional political divide. To explain what is going on in Washington would require use of a metaphor such as The Mariana Trench to explain it. The Democrats might as well be speaking Mandarin and the Republicans, Latin. The American people as a consequence are, of course, def, blind, and dumb. Our politics has really devolved into the ‘us-them’ model and the only real losers are the American people.

Does Employer-Based Health Insurance Discourage Entrepreneurship?

    NCPA: Concerns have long been voiced that workers with employer-based insurance may be reluctant to leave their jobs to start new businesses because of the high cost of premiums or the possibility of disrupting or losing insurance coverage — a phenomenon referred to as “entrepreneurship lock,” says the Kauffman-RAND Institute for Entrepreneurship Public Policy.

That’s barely half a day’s spending at our current pace… ,” Rand said.

    Houston Chronicle: Texas recorded the largest population growth in the nation over the past decade, adding 4.5 million people for a total of 25.1 million. But 79 of its 254 counties lost people, all but a handful of them west of Interstate 35. Even more would have lost population if not for the decade’s phenomenal Latino growth; the number of Anglos declined in 162 Texas counties, including much of West Texas and the Panhandle.

Texas May Face Electricity Shortages under New EPA Rules

    NCPA Policy Digest: Texas is now the nation’s leading industrial and manufacturing state. Thus, the state will be disproportionately impacted by the recent Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) greenhouse gas (GHG) regulation and the many other major rules to take effect in the next three years. Indeed, the rules on track to go into effect in the next three years could cost more than $1 trillion, result in hundreds of thousands of jobs lost and significantly impair electric reliability, says Kathleen Hertnett White, director of the Armstrong Center for Energy and Environment . . .

WSJ: “The Ryan Resolution: The most serious attempt to reform government in a generation.”

    Wall Street Journal: Mr. Ryan’s budget rollout is an important political and policy moment because it is the most serious attempt to reform government in at least a generation. The plan offers what voters have been saying they want—a blueprint to address the roots of Washington’s fiscal disorder. It does so not by the usual posturing (“paygo”) and symbolism (balanced budget amendment) but by going to the heart of the spending problem, especially on the vast and rapidly growing health-care entitlements of Medicaid and Medicare. The Wisconsin Republican’s plan is a generational choice, not the usual Beltway echo.
