President Trump Isn’t Serious about Ex-Im
Being a Tool to Fight China |
| Veronique de Rugy | National Review's The Corner |
|
| Recently, President Trump gave his support for a ten-year reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank without insisting on fundamental reforms at the agency. In the past, the president suggested that he wanted to get rid of the Bank, but this change of mind is reflective of his belief that Ex-Im can be used a tool to fight China's expansionist aspirations. But as designed, Ex-Im will do nothing of the sort. If policymakers are serious about using the Bank to compete with China, they won't get results by lending money in higher-income countries where companies have plenty of access to capital or by selling discounted planes to China Air. |

| There's Still No Plan to Finance 'Medicare for All' |
| Charles Blahous | Tribune News Services |
|
| Senator Elizabeth Warren's proposed financing plan for "Medicare for All" doesn't acknowledge, let alone finance, the costs of this health care plan. $12.9 trillion of the Medicare for All's costs are simply assumed away and many of the claims of savings are clearly wrong. Cuts to health providers and the expected burden to workers warrant special attention. |
