Op/Ed

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.”

Congress has a clear choice: Make complete and permanent the ban on Internet access and multiple or discriminatory taxes online, encouraging broadband access and e-commerce, or turn away from that national priority and allow the pro-tax thugs the chance to loot our digital future.

There's a reason why conservatives believe in letting markets rather than governing elites determine outcomes. That's why it was disappointing to see Texas Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott join the Obama administration in opposing the nearly concluded merger between American Airlines and US Airways.

When the president speaks he may be telling the truth, he may not be, or he may be parsing his words to mislead. It has been his pattern since, well, forever, as John Heilemann and Mark Halperin demonstrate in their excellent book on the 2008 presidential election, Game Change.

The biggest mystery about the Keystone XL pipeline is why its final stage hasn't already been approved by the Obama administration.
