Trump's Foreign Policy Is Not Chaotic
By Col (Res.) Dr. Raphael G. Bouchnik-Chen, April 25, 2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Though politicians and scholars harshly criticize President Donald Trump’s foreign policy as chaotic, his policymaking seems to be based upon a sound and consistent political approach, contrary to that of his predecessor in the White House. Several decisions taken by Trump can fall under the rubric of the political science theory known as “Supersession,” which stipulates that changing circumstances and the passage of time are formative guidelines to the handling of international conflicts.

WHAT OF HEALTH CARE REFORMS FOR GOP

The health reforms the GOP should embrace (but probably won’t)
Joseph Antos and James C. Capretta | The New York Times 
Rather than searching for a politically safe silver bullet that slays the Affordable Care Act while keeping everyone happy, Republicans should embrace sensible reforms that aim to improve the existing framework.
Chasing universal coverage
Joseph Antos and James C. Capretta | RealClearPolicy 
In 2017 only 2.5 million people — or less than 1 percent of the total population — were in the US legally, had low incomes, and did not have ready access to an insurance plan. 
Medicare for All Hides Obamacare’s Flaws
Chris Pope, National Review
In politics, people rarely admit that they were wrong. Instead, they try to change the subject. A decade ago, Democrats insisted that the Affordable Care Act would reduce the health-care costs of Americans and give the nation universal coverage. But the legislation has fallen so far short of its objectives that the party’s new generation is eager to sweep it aside in favor of Medicare for All. The associated promises are even more implausible than those made regarding the ACA, and have been privately disparaged by establishment Democratic policymakers. Read more here....
The Perils of Fixing Out-of-Network Health Care Prices
Chris Pope, E21
Away from the headlines and ideological food fight over Medicare for All, Congress has quietly been working to fix the problem of “surprise medical bills”—a situation whereby individuals with insurance coverage nonetheless find themselves facing exorbitant unexpected bills from out-of-network providers. The problem has become so bad that Republicans and Democrats have even started to agree on reforms, with bipartisan proposals this month being introduced in both chambers to address it. Read more here....

THE AMERICAN MIND
Time To Turn the G-Men Loose On Trump Accusers
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun | April 22, 2019
https://www.nysun.com/national/time-to-turn-investigators-loose-on-trump-accusers/90657/
The Mueller Report, despite the best efforts of the chief author and his partisan investigative staff, is a bone-crushing defeat for the president's enemies. There is not a whit of evidence that any American collaborated with any Russian to alter the results of the 2016 presidential election, and there is extensive evidence that the Trump campaign was the subject of enticements to collaborate and rebuffed all of them at all levels.

National and metro housing market indicators
Edward J. Pinto and Tobias Peter | AEI 
Housing markets are inherently local, making them notoriously difficult to analyze due to the lack of reliable data at the local level. A new data set from the AEI Housing Center aims to fill this void by analyzing housing market data for the 60 largest US metropolitan areas and the nation as a whole. ​
The growth of salaries and benefits in the public sector, 1998–2017
Andrew G. Biggs | AEI Economics Working Paper Series 
Data from the National Income and Product Accounts published by the US federal government make it possible to analyze the growth of state and local government employee compensation by state.

New Financing Model Could Fix America’s Broken Student Loan System
Preston Cooper & Sheila Bair, Yahoo Finance

News reports of jaw-dropping scandals involving corruption and fraud in the admissions process of several elite schools are coming at a bad time for the higher education community. Academia was already playing defense in Washington against perceptions of favoritism in admissions practices and intolerance for diverse political views.But perhaps most damaging has been widespread public concern over high college costs and the $1.4 trillion in taxpayer-backed debt students have racked up to pay for them. Read more here....
The Ideological Takeover of Education
Max Eden, City Journal
This weekend, more than 14,000 academics will gather in Toronto to share their research for the American Education Research Association’s annual conference. In past years, I’ve documented the focus of AERA academics on matters that seem only obliquely connected to curriculum, instruction, and policy. It looks like more of the same this year. Read more here....
