California’s gas prices: A crisis of its own making, USC study finds
A USC study led by Professor Michael Mische finds California’s high gas prices stem primarily from state policies, not oil industry “price gouging,” contradicting Governor Newsom’s claims. Stringent environmental regulations (adding ~51¢/gallon), the nation’s highest excise taxes (59.7¢/gallon), refinery closures (down 70% since 1984) and high operational costs collectively inflate prices. Newsom blames oil companies, […]

Trump’s 25% auto tariffs: A bold move to strengthen U.S. manufacturing despite short-term challenges
The proposed 25% tariffs aim to reduce reliance on foreign auto imports, incentivize domestic production and strengthen America’s industrial base by encouraging automakers to shift operations stateside.
