Op/Ed

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.

Both Democrats and Republicans are trying to use the mantra of "they're cutting Medicare" as a way to hammer the opposing party and drum up senior support. But here's the dirty little secret: Medicare spending could be cut, a lot, without doing any harm to seniors' health. 

The Pentagon is pushing ahead with a $420 million effort to build three refineries to make competitively priced biofuels.

Imposing weight limits on professional football would result in a safer, faster, more athletic and more entertaining game played by people who have not spent their lives getting unnaturally large.
