Op/Ed

A PRA-MyRA would be a win for the president, for conservatives, and for bipartisanship, but most especially a win for American workers.

The sugar subsidy problem will never be solved until WTO member nations can agree to a freer and more sustainable global sugar trade system. Such a system should be the strategic goal of U.S. sugar policy.

President Obama is waving the red cape in front of the American people, threatening to push the limits of executive action if the GOP doesn’t give him what he wants. Republicans should call his threat and defend the Constitution's legislative process. 

President Obama wants Congress to give the country a raise, which is bad economics, bad policy and bad federalism. If there is going to be a minimum wage increase, then states and cities ought to set it.

Although economists believe that raising the minimum wage hurts young and low-skilled workers by pricing them out of a job, the move has public support. 

The GOP wants a market-driven health care reform plan to replace Obamacare. In Human Events, Merrill Matthews offers a brief summary of the key components.

A "do nothing" Congress is probably a constitutional Congress.

President Obama will deliver his State of the Union Address on January 28, and will likely begin by stressing that the economy continues to improve. But at least one economic dark cloud looms: the debt ceiling.

Fiscal restraint and energy production are the best way to fiscal health.
