    Left vs. Left Round 2: Teach for America and the Unions

    When Right by the Bay heard that Assemblyman Kevin Kiley’s vigorous defense of Teach for America (TFA) landed him in the “dog house” (the smallest office at the Capitol), we couldn’t help but be intrigued, for nothing in politics is worse than being caught eating one’s own. But we don’t ...

    To reduce inequality, lawmakers must end government-created burdens to entrepreneurship

    Many Sacramento lawmakers have named reducing poverty and economic inequality among their top priorities this session.   They have unveiled a variety of proposals to address these issues, most center around new government programs, increased state spending, and new mandates.

    Does California Have a Future?

    Republican California State Assemblyman Vince Fong recently tweeted about California’s 19 percent poverty rate, which he said “is driven by the extreme high cost of living here.” “Yet,” said Fong, “Sacramento continues to pass policies that make it even more expensive.” In a story illustrated by an artist’s rendering of a family in ...

    Failed federal housing policy undermines Trump’s opioid reforms

    By Lance Izumi and Michele Steeb Over the past two years, President Trump has promoted bold reforms designed to address the opioid crisis. Congress, in a rare bipartisan effort, wholeheartedly supported Trump’s significant reforms, but these initiatives are being undermined by the failures of federal housing policy. In October 2018, ...

    Legislating Energy Poverty

    Public opinion polls show that most Californians see climate change as a threat to the state’s economy and quality of life, yet the state’s approach is hurting poor, rural, inland, and minority communities. PRI’s Wayne Winegarden, Nick Loris of the Heritage Foundation, and John C. Gamboa of California Community Builders ...

    Universal Income Isn’t the Utopia It’s Made Out to Be

    The long-standing failures of the American welfare state have left politicians and policy wonks searching desperately for answers, including a willingness to consider radical changes to how we as a nation care for the poor.

    Estate Tax Bill Will Do Nothing to Reduce California’s Wealth Gap

    You would think that California’s current $21.4 billion budget surplus would be plenty of money to fund the spending wish list of those thwarted over the past 8 years by former Gov.
