Op/Ed

Now that the election is over and President Obama can no longer be held accountable by the voters, liberals are claiming the country needs entitlement reform.

Election returns show that big government is back, and with so many people depending on it, it may be here to stay.

The 2010 election was one for the history books, and voters across the country couldn't wait to cast their vote against President Obama's policies. But this time, the president's actually on the ballot, and the "I can't wait to vote" sentiment is even stronger.

Heading into a presidential election, many technology policy observers and participants do their best to make a pitch for which candidate will be best for technology, software, hardware, Internet, services, consumer electronics and communications industries.

The US is not only facing a fiscal cliff, but also an entitlements cliff and, thanks to ObamaCare, a health care cliff.  Those three cliffs aren't separate; they're intertwined.  Go over one and we will be pulled over the other two.

Every major entitlement program has grown significantly under the Obama administration, but the White House hasn't uttered a word about its plan to address the unsustainable financial future facing the country. We do not know exactly how far off the cliff is, but we are approaching it quickly.

One more of the many "benefits" of ObamaCare actually doesn't seem like much of a benefit when military families are stuck with a $2,400 bill.

J.D. Kleinke of the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute claims in the New York Times that there is a conservative case for ObamaCare.  If there is, Kleinke’s not making it. He is wrong on the history, problems and policy of health care reform, both now and during the ClintonCare debate.

The White House recently pulled out all the stops (including setting aside some EPA  regulations) to keep Sunoco's Philadelphia oil refinery open. But would they have invested as much time and effort if the refinery had not been in a swing state?

If President Obama is reelected and gets his way, the country will enter the "Obama recession" of 2013, just like FDR in 1937.
