A look at some of the false Obamacare claims President Obama recently made in a speech to students at Miami Dade College. 

“Local governments are at least as capable as the feds of passing laws and ordinances that violate the presumption of liberty in the Constitution,” Giovanetti said. “Tyranny isn’t OK just because it is approved by a majority of your fellow townsfolk. Rule of law, not local control, must be the governing principle.” 

President Obama’s most important economic legacy has come at the end of his eight-year term.  By ending the 40-year ban on U.S. crude oil exports and permitting the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the U.S. is on its way to becoming an energy exporting powerhouse, says a new IPI publication. 

The rise in premiums on the Affordable Care Act exchanges has led to a debate on whether to fix the ACA or repeal and replace the healthcare law.

Raising concerns about threats to Indian historic sites is simply a tactic the Left is using to achieve its larger goal: ending the use of fossil fuels. It successfully employed similar tactics when fighting the Keystone XL pipeline.

The price of the most popular health plan sold through HealthCare.gov is once again facing a steep hike in 2017—this time by an average of 25 percent. Hillary Clinton will likely use Obamacare’s exploding costs, shrinking networks of physicians, and fleeing health insurers to make the case for what the left really wanted all along: a government-run, single-payer health care system. 

There’s been a long-running concern that what the exchanges will ultimately be is the place where the people who are the sickest and need subsidies from the federal government will reside, said Matthews. “The question comes about – would even some of those people be able to buy cheaper insurance, even considering the subsidies, outside of the exchange if a death spiral initiates. If so, does that ultimately make the exchanges unworkable?”

"By moving their small cars to Mexico, which has skilled but cheaper labor, Ford hopes to break-even or make a little profit off them," explains the Institute for Policy Innovation's Merrill Matthews. (He notes that tax policy and climate change rules are also pushing Ford out of the U.S.)  

Have the national anthem protests carried out by athletes been good for democracy?

The only reason Donald Trump’s goal of 4 percent annual economic growth seems so high is that economic growth under the Obama administration has been so low.
