Don't leave town

President Trump is now more likely than ever to end his first year in office without a single major legislative accomplishment. Between now and the end of the year, Congress still has to approve more than $1 trillion in federal spending, pass a veterans health-care bill and navigate a debt-ceiling fight. That doesn’t leave much time for legislating.

Supreme Court rejects the reach of Trump’s travel ban. The three-sentence order by the justices, who last month let the president start restricting entry by people from six mostly Muslim countries, means the government must accept people with grandparents, cousins and other relatives in the U.S. The court plans to hear arguments on the travel ban on Oct. 10; the latest scuffle centered on the rules that will apply in the interim.

Wall Street’s efforts to improve its image haven’t worked.

The man who got America to eat trash fish is now a billionaire. Chuck Bundrant, the founder and majority owner of Trident Seafoods, turned $80 into more than $1 billion by persuading people in the early 1980s to eat pollock at fast-food restaurants.

Americans’ retirement benefits have been slashed. Employer contributions to pensions, 401(k)s and retiree health-care benefits fell from 9.1 percent of worker pay in 2001 to 6.8 percent in 2015. A global retirement security ranking has demoted the U.S. three notches to No. 17 among 43 developed countries.

Americans eat 35 pounds of cheese per year on average—and yet that demand doesn’t come close to meeting U.S. supply. Amid an historic glut, a secretive, government-sponsored entity is squeezing as much milk, cheese, butter and yogurt as it can into food sold both at home and abroad.
