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

The left and “progressives” love to blame wage stagnation on greedy businesses wanting to gobble a larger share of the pie. But it's actually a product of businesses' uncertainty about taxes, regulations and employee-benefit costs — which the Obama administration has exacerbated.

President Obama has identified yet another sector of the economy in dire need of government help: higher education.  And it seems he wants to use ObamaCare as the model for improving education quality and lowering cost.  The one teensy-weensy problem is that ObamaCare will do neither.

Leading scholars on the right, such as John Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis, Peter Ferrara of the Heartland Institute and Merrill Mathews of the Institute for Policy Innovation, have been working for years to try to get the Republicans thinking and acting correctly about health care reform.

Oklahoma stands as the last, best hope for defunding President Obama's health care legislation. State Attorney General Scott Pruitt has filed suit against the federal government alleging that the Obama administration plans to violate the clear wording of Obamacare.

The green energy movement is driven by good intentions ... mostly. But it is also riddled with unintended, even ridiculous, consequences that often outweigh the good the movement hopes to achieve.

President Obama says the mandate to have health coverage is essential to making ObamaCare work; but it will be very easy for most of the uninsured to game the penalty and so never be “punished” for not having coverage.

ALEC wants to provide ideas of how legislators can act next, said task force private-sector Chairman Bartlett Cleland, IPI policy counsel. "It is critically important for the future of healthcare that state legislators start understanding what they can do and start to act, so we can drive down healthcare costs and get healthcare to more people."

Apparently when President Obama promised, “If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan.  Period,” he was only referring to federal employees and himself. This kind of hypocrisy goes a long way toward explaining why the American people have become so cynical about politics.

After President John F. Kennedy failed to cut income tax rates, President Lyndon Johnson and Virginia Democrat Harry Byrd successfully pushed through the 1964 cuts in personal and corporate income tax rates.
