Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
Dec 21, 2024 9:22 AM

Louisiana College, a Baptist school in Pineville, La., is the most recent institution to file a lawsuit over the Obama administration’s contraception mandate. Kathryn Jean Lopez interviewed the the school’s president, Joe Aguillard, about the decision to sue the government:

LOPEZ: The president contended last week that there is promise. So why would you sue?

AGUILLARD: Any repeated claim that the government promised is recycled nonsense. The HHS mandate will force us to cover abortion pills in our health plans at no cost to employees. The facts are as simple as that. The promise the administration has made is with the truth.

Hillbilly experts: Economic optimism from Appalachia
It seems like every day we hear the siren calls of ing end of jobs. A new report out of thePwCsays that 38% of all jobs in America are at risk of being automated. This mostly affects jobs that require little to no education, which could include entire industries, such as truck driving, storage, or food service. We are told that the trade-off will be “worth it.” Millions of jobs will be destroyed. Uneducated workers, the very ones whose jobs...

In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrok shows how price floors create surpluses (such as a surplus in labor, or unemployment) as well as deadweight loss. (If you find the pace of the videos too...
Yes, the gender wage gap is still a myth—and a potentially dangerous one
Today is Equal Pay Day, a day set aside to perpetuate the myth of the “gender pay gap,” which claims that, because of gender discrimination, women receive about 22 percent lower pay on average for doing the same work as men. The observance was started in 1996 by the National Committee on Pay Equity, and yet after 21 years and hundreds of articles debunking the claim, the idea that gender pay gap is a real problem is a myth that...
Why protectionism harms human dignity
From an economic perspective, protectionism is one of the most foolish policies a country can adopt. It not only hurts the nation’s economy, but makes individual households poorer. Why then do so many people who are aware of this reality still support protectionist policies? One reason is because they (wrongly) believe that protectionism actually protects American jobs. They also believe (rightly) that the loss of employment has social and moral implications that are caused by a loss of dignity. Economist...
3 charts that will help you make the moral case for limited government
In a new essay for the Religion & Liberty Transatlantic website, Richard Teather has some surprising news about the pope: Pope Francis has urged European political leaders to reduce government spending and lower taxes. Well, he didn’t actually say that directly, but that is the unavoidable logic of ments, although he might not understand enough economics to realise it.
