Republican Convention: Live Coverage Of The Final Night

Trump attacks Obama and Clinton on energy regulation. As I noted last night when oil executive Harold Hamm made similar comments, if Obama is trying to shut down the U.S. oil industry, he’s doing a terrible job of it. Oil production has surged during Obama’s term.

I think the Republican convention just cheered a proposal for a big-government stimulus plan.

Trump says America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world. That’s a bit better than his more frequent (and oft-debunked) statement that the U.S. is the single highest-taxed nation. But it still isn’t true. The exact rank depends on the definitions you use, but by most measures the U.S. is middle-of-the-road among developed nations when it comes to taxes.
