Op/Ed

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has been telling the country two different stories about the government’s ability to pay Social Security benefits during the debt-ceiling crisis. So which one is true?

If regulators seem confused about how to implement a health care program as vast and sweeping as ObamaCare, maybe it’s because they know how badly they’ve bungled smaller and simpler health care reform efforts—especially a particular drug discount program.

A North American energy free-trade zone would lead to energy self-sufficiency much more quickly, while dramatically increasing economic growth for all three countries.

One week into the shutdown and it appears the predictions of an imminent Republican defeat have been greatly exaggerated—and they might even win.

While government shutdowns have never cost the stock market more than a few points (and in most cases the market actually went up), the issue of the federal debt ceiling could have a significantly profound impact on the market. 

If he understood his own law, Obama would realize that suspending the mandate has nothing to do with uninsured Americans having access to health insurance.

As various ObamaCare assumptions have begun to unravel, we should start to worry that we could have as many if not more uninsured after the law takes effect. If so, the lawmakers who gave Americans this bitter, multi-trillion-dollar health reform pill may find their medicine hard to swallow.

If Democrats aren’t worried about President Obama’s “Problems?  What problems?” response to the multiple glitches and snafus of his ObamaCare rollout, they should be.

The Keystone  pipeline system has been transporting oil sands from Canada to U.S. refineries  in the Midwest for three years -- with no major leaks and, more importantly, no  major complaints from environmentalists.

Will individuals will face higher health insurance premiums next year? Many will, but the bigger problem will be in years two, three and four, because some (maybe most) of the health care plans could go into what actuaries derisively call a health insurance “death spiral.”
