Op/Ed

Obama's policies have been a disaster for low-income and low-skilled workers, which is why their unemployment rate is so high.  And now, in the name of reducing income inequality, he would make millions of Americans even poorer.

For the first time in decades, the sequester actually reduced federal discretionary spending, rather than just slowing the rate of growth. That was a huge achievement and is almost certainly one of the primary reasons why the economy is picking up steam again. If the Ryan-Murray agreement passes, the sequester is dead; there won’t be any resurrection.

If the People's Republic of China can attend an ALEC task force meeting and make a presentation about economic reform, how secretive can it be?

There are a number of similarities between Obamacare and an energy mandate known as the "renewable fuel standard."

A closer look at the uninsured numbers raises real questions about just how many people will participate.

It’s yet another unforeseen consequence of Obamacare. And unless Congress acts, we’re likely to see a huge exodus of doctors who will not accept either Medicare or Medicaid patients.

The public policy goal should be to meet our energy needs while doing as little damage as possible to the environment and the economy. Natural gas is helping us do that.

We’re being told the agreement with Iran is a historic step forward. But will we learn in a few weeks, perhaps through leaked emails or documents, that there are caveats that neither Obama nor Kerry are telling us that dramatically undermines all the happy talk?

Patient access to doctors is approaching a perfect storm of decreased physician supply, more demand for medical care—especially after Obamacare kicks in—and doctors increasingly refusing to see low-paying Medicare or Medicaid patients.  If the “promise” of Obamacare’s access to health care is to be kept, government will eventually have to force doctors to accept Obamacare-covered patients.

Polls regularly put Kennedy in the top 10 U.S. presidents and a recent Politico poll ranking the best presidents since 1950 has him in first place. Like another more-recent, young, telegenic, liberal presidential candidate, JFK may have brought new hope and promise to the White House, but not much more.
