Op/Ed

Environmentalists who think that climate change is our most serious threat have themselves become a threat to wildlife vital to the ecosystem.

The major health insurers that are finally pulling back from Obamacare have seen a 15% to 20% decline in their stock prices since the middle of last year, while the one insurer that signaled last year it was getting out has climbed about 15%.

There's a provision in Obamacare that says if you cannot find an ACA-qualified policy for less than 8 percent of household income after taxpayer-provided subsidies, you’re exempt from the mandate to have coverage. If there are no Obamacare-qualified plans available to individuals in a given area, then those individuals can’t buy one for less than 8 percent of their income.

It would streamline the tax process and bring American businesses home. 

The Obama administration’s efforts to keep four insurers from becoming two may mean that only one or none will continue selling on the Obamacare exchanges.

The growing disgust with both major candidates may be driving voters to the Libertarian and Green parties, making the outcome even harder to predict.

When you balance the “qualifiers” with the “disqualifiers,” it isn’t clear that either candidate is really qualified, much less “the most qualified.” 

If the goal is to increase penalties, then the Legislature can simply increase penalties. The hate crime designation is unnecessary.

This year’s convention is set to be a four-day effort to buy votes with taxpayer and employer money.

This month’s Democratic convention will be a hotbed of anti-fossil fuel vitriol. The policy platform, invited speakers, and nominee herself all support a war against oil and natural gas.
