A spotlight on human dignity

ioks | AEldeas
Americans pride ourselves on the connection between hard work and success. It's central to our national story that those who put in the hours and take risks have opportunities to build meaningful lives. But for many, the bottom rungs of the ladder are increasingly hard to reach. The percentage of working age men outside the labor force has more than tripled since 1965. The most important consequences of this situation aren't economic ones.

Tech companies must regain trust
What do former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and the European Commission have in common? All of them are, for different reasons, keen to tighten the regulation of technological giants such as Google and Facebook. There is some truth to each of their concerns. But before committing to a specific regulatory path, policymakers in the United States and Europe should think twice.
America's embassy

should be moved to Jerusalem -- now
Whether to move America's embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem has long been a subject of political debate in the United States and abroad. It's time now to resolve the debate by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital city and relocating our embassy there on incontestably Israeli sovereign territory.

To help working families, don't cut their taxes
The House Republicans' tax proposal focuses primarily on driving up business investment. Many critics think it should lean more heavily on providing immediate tax relief to American families. It shouldn't. Individual income tax cuts wouldn't do nearly as much as wage increases from stronger business investment would.

Iran won in Lebanon.
In the violent Middle East, Lebanon looks like a miracle. As a mix of Christians and Sunni and Shiite Muslims has fought a brutal civil war and weathered aggressive outside interference, Lebanon still putters along as a semifunctioning democracy. To strengthen the Lebanese Armed Forces, the US has given more than $1 billion over the past decade. But looks are deceiving. In Lebanon, despite America's help, Iran has won.

With a Trump test, institutions respond
The standard brief against the president, from not only the left but also much of the desiccated center, is that Donald Trump is a threat to the constitutional order. Conservatives should not

dismiss this view out of hand, and if the president were much more popular, they should worry more. But to date, things aren't working that way. As of right now, the system isn't breaking down: It's finally starting to work as intended.

Republicans are right: Medicaid needs more than a Band-Aid
Democrats are predictably pouncing on the Medicaid provisions of the new Senate health care bill, saying Republican "cuts" to the program would decimate the nation's health insurance safety net. These attacks are overblown. The Medicaid provisions of the bill are not perfect, but they point in the right direction. Most important, Republicans are right to move away from today's open-ended federal spending on Medicaid.

The lesson from Seattle's Tight for 15': Proceed with caution
If booming, high-cost-of-living Seattle had a hard time absorbing a $13 an hour minimum wage last year without experiencing negative employment effects -- reduced hours, jobs, and earnings for low-wage workers -- it will have an even more difficult time dealing with the additional $2 an hour increase that took place in

January. Seattle's experiment may represent a "canary in the coal mine" for the rest of America.
