Ryan cooks up new plan on Trumpcare to try to sweeten the pot for restless Republicans
One of the more ridiculous knocks on the Congressional Budget Office's score of Trumpcare is that the score is so bad because it didn't consider that there were going to be two more "prongs" of reform, one legislative and one regulatory.

The pros and cons of a $15 minimum wage
A Congressional Budget Office analysis released last week "makes clear that the benefits of a $15-an-hour minimum wage would heavily outweigh the downside," said Michael Hiltzik at the Los Angeles Times. The agency found that as many as 1.3 million people could be lifted out of poverty if the federal minimum wage rose from $7.25 in stages over five years, boosting the wages of 27 million
