What’s next? The dangers of federalizing hearing aid rules

By Veronique de Rugy One of the obstacles to reversing the tide of growing government is that so many of the laws and regulations advanced with the rhetoric of limited government end up expanding government’s scope and power instead. Politicians disingenuously talk of freeing…

Trump versus Comey is case of 'he said, he said, he said, he said'

By Fareed Zakaria For most of his life, Donald Trump has found words to be his friends. He has used them to build his business, dramatize his achievements and embellish his accomplishments. As important, he has used them to explain away his missteps and to paper over his…

Hidden consequences: Worst-case scenarios of not saving for retirement

By MARK LUND Saving for retirement may seem a thankless task. But you may be thanking yourself later. Putting away a percentage of one’s income — money that could be used for any number of bills or luxuries — is a sacrifice made in the present in order to avoid larger trouble…

Business Tech: Trump order reminds us of responsibility for cyber security at our businesses

By Mike Herrington Pres. Trump signed an executive order recently that called out the government’s poor cyber security measures and mandated one set of security standards across government agencies. The order also makes the heads of each organization responsible for security.…

Is the United States on the path to French-style economic sclerosis?

By Veronique de Rugy There is a lot of debate over Pres. Donald Trump’s record after his first 100-plus days in office. Defenders of the president point to his successful efforts on deregulation, the successful appointment to the Supreme Court of Neil Gorsuch and his steadfast…

Is Pres. Trump's firing of Comey a precursor to a bigger danger?

By Fareed Zakaria I have tried to evaluate Donald Trump’s presidency fairly. I’ve praised him when he has appointed competent people to high office and expressed support for his policies when they seemed serious and sensible (even though this has drawn criticism from some…

Financial literacy: Few Americans understand personal finance fundamentals

By Mark Lund If only money came with instructions. If it did, the route toward wealth would be clear and direct. Unfortunately, many people have inadequate financial knowledge, and for them, the path is more obscure. Are most people clueless about financial matters? That depends…

Protect your legacy from taxes: Taking responsibility & ownership of your future

By Doug Andrew Last month, the nation’s mind was on taxes. Millions of Americans were rushing to make the tax deadline, assessing how much they had already sent to the government (and hoping against hope they didn’t need to send more). Whether you’re getting a refund or writing…

The fear-based campaign to establish government control of the Internet

By Veronique de Rugy Public fear is an ally of big government. When fear sets in among the populace — often with encouragement from self-interested politicians — the result is usually an expansion of governmental power and a loss of individual rights. Politicians typically stoke…

The Trump effect: Impact of president on foreign policy of other countries

By Fareed Zakaria There has been much focus on Donald Trump’s erratic foreign policy — the outlandish positions, the many flip-flops, the mistakes. But far more damaging in the long run might be what some have termed "the Trump effect" — the impact of Trump on the domestic…

Social Security: When is the right time to apply for your benefits?

By Mark Lund Now or later? When it comes to the question of Social Security income, the choice looms large. Should you apply now to get earlier payments or wait for a few years to get larger checks? Consider what you know — and don’t know. You know how much retirement money you…

Business Tech: Plenty of options when picking the right cloud service for your business

By Mike Herrington There are many different types of cloud offerings on the market today and the plethora of options leave many business owners scratching their heads over which one is the right fit for their business. There are public, private, hybrid and boutique cloud…

Utah Tech: Taking too much of time? Making the case for automated patch management

By Mike Herrington Patch management is a critical function in maintaining network security for businesses, but the labor cost of keeping up on it frequently stops it from happening. A patch is a piece of software designed to update a computer program or its supporting data or to…

FATCA: Another attempt to make low-tax nations serve the high-taxers

By Veronique de Rugy I’ve previously argued that the Trump administration should stop funding the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development because of its advocacy of higher taxes and tax harmonization. At the time, I was told that my position could be perceived as…

The education of Trump: Running an administration is 'complicated' stuff

By Fareed Zakaria There are so many unusual, unprecedented aspects of Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office that it’s hard to know where to begin. By his own yardstick, the number of promises unfulfilled is staggering. During the campaign, Trump said he would ask for a bill…

Your retirement account: It’s important to have a plan, not just a stock portfolio

By Mark Lund In the first quarter of 2017, the bull market seemed unstoppable. The Dow Jones Industrial Average soared past 20,000 and closed at all-time highs on 12 consecutive trading days. The Nasdaq Composite gained almost 10 percent in three months. An eight-year-old bull…
