Michael Watson of the Capital Research Center cautions conservatives who might feel positively inclined towards organized labor:

Organized labor’s demonstrations of complete alignment with the left-progressive social agenda illustrate the scale of the problem labor conservatives have yet to confront. Labor unions big and little, private-sector and public-sector, blue-collar and white-collar alike are enmeshed in a system known as “social-justice unionism,” in which economic social democracy is but one component of a wider left-progressive agenda on matters as divergent as abortion, transgender activism, environmentalism, and gun control. Those who would increase labor unions’ power in the name of conservatism owe other conservatives some sort of practical plan to ensure that their honorable concern for worker welfare will not lead to a strengthening of conservatives’ enemies.

Alex Muresianu of the Tax Foundation writes about how with carbon taxes, the devil is in the details:

The case for carbon taxes is very strong, which is why economists overwhelmingly support the idea. But issues come with implementation, and it is important to steer clear of the pitfalls that can arise.
The fundamental question is: Does the tax actually cover carbon emissions? The ideal carbon tax beats other carbon policies because it disincentivizes all carbon emissions equally, unlike the existing mix of regulations. However, existing carbon taxes in Europe often target only certain sectors. As of 2021, 19 European countries have some form of a carbon tax; however, there is wide variation in the portion of a country’s emissions that actually face the tax, with the average among those countries being only 34 percent of CO2 emissions. . . .

Jack Salmon writes about how student-loan forgiveness would be costly and regressive:

Achieving a wage premium that is double that of a high-school graduate has a cost. For those who can afford to pay full tuition while in school, it’s the tuition; but for those who can’t, the cost comes in the form of accruing student-loan debt that is paid off in small increments over many years. According to 2019 data, the average monthly repayment was between $200 and $299, or up to about $3,600 a year. Considering that the median bachelor’s-degree holder makes about $30,000 a year more than the median high-school graduate, it’s clear that this is already a great deal for the college graduate.
Why, then, would anyone expect a high-school graduate to foot the bill for college graduates? This is exactly what student-loan debt forgiveness entails.
