The math at the pump: Before you blame Trump, follow the damn barrel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iran matters, refiners matter, supply matters—and the price on that sign has more than one father. Gasoline has become one of America’s favorite political intelligence tests, because the moment the numbers on the sign change, half the country forgets how commodities work. Gas goes down and whichever president you like deserves a parade; gas goes up and whichever president you hate apparently crawled out of bed at four in the morning, drove to every Chevron in America and changed the numbers pers
Republicans in Washington need to recognize we still have an affordability problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Voters cannot eat GDP, pay the electric bill with a culture-war victory, or finance a mortgage with a politician’s applause line. Conservatives should understand something before the American voter is forced to explain it to us at the ballot box: an economy is experienced before it is measured.

That distinction sits at the center of the Lindsay Clancy case, but the issue is much larger than one Massachusetts courtroom, one defendant, or even the almost incomprehensible deaths of three children. The deeper question i
The government’s recovery penalty, seen in disability benefits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The current system tells disabled people to become independent—and then makes independence financially dangerous. America loves a comeback story. We celebrate the injured athlete who returns to the field, the addict who rebuilds his life, the businessman who survives bankruptcy, and the soldier who refuses to be defined by his wounds. But when a disabled American attempts a comeback, the government often responds with a calculator, a deadline, and a warning letter. I know something about this pe
