** IS PAID FAMILY LEAVE COMPATIBLE WITH CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES?
------------------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday, EPPC convened a conversation among conservative advocates and opponents of federally financed paid family leave, along with policymakers working on the issue, about the idea’s philosophical and practical implications. The two panel discussions explored whether conservative principles could support such an idea and, if so, what alternatives might be pursued to create an effective program.

** ON THE NEW “NATIONALISM”
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column

------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to President Trump’s “America First” rhetoric and the rise of populist-nationalist parties in Europe, there’s a lot of debate about “nationalism” these days. On that subject, as on so many others, it’s worth listening to Pope St. John Paul II. Read More ([link removed])

** IMMIGRATION AND THE DESIRE FOR ROOTEDNESS
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Luma Simms
Public Discourse

** CONSERVATIVES ARE STILL GRAPPLING WITH THE TRUMP ERA. AND MANY HAVEN’T YET LEARNED THEIR LESSON.
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post

------------------------------------------------------------
The old conservative movement clearly missed something crucial about the national mood to have failed so utterly to prevent President Trump’s nomination and election. Failure to come to grips with this and to be genuinely new in some way will produce the same political failure. Read More ([link removed])

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Stephen P. White
The Catholic Thing

** REPUBLICANS ARE HOWLING ABOUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING YET AGAIN. HERE’S WHAT THEY

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post

------------------------------------------------------------
The Republican Party needs to show it understands what voters want by proposing a serious deficit-reduction package that includes tax increases on those who can afford it, in addition to a package of spending cuts. Ten years after Simpson-Bowles foundered, a new bipartisan compromise could achieve what a decade of futile gesturing has not: reduced deficits and moderate growth in government spending.
