Republicans in the U.S. House missed a golden opportunity when they put the unchanged “fiscal cliff” tax bill up for a vote. If the Senate-passed bill was to be considered (a mighty big “if”), the House first should have scrubbed it
Santa Claus has been re-elected President of the North Pole by defeating the Tooth Fairy in a nasty campaign. The margin was closer than last time around when Santa beat Frosty the Snowman, who headed south and melted from the

“We’ve lost the battle in Washington” for now, says Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC), echoing the sentiments of conservatives watching the fiscal cliff negotiations in the U.S. capital. As a guest on “Istook Live!,” DeMint agreed with talk show host Ernest
America is addicted to chocolate. Foreign chocolate. A majority of us consume chocolate each day. Although the U.S. produces only 6% of the world’s cocoa, we consume more than 20%. The threat is obvious. It’s time for government to step in and promote
Congress owes America better start for 2012, and not to repeat the way it ended 2011. Even if the Senate is hopelessly dysfunctional, the House could do better. The final House session of 2011 was a prime example of how
You can sum up in one word why Republicans find it tough to build public support for major spending cuts before the debt limit might be raised. That word is “secrecy.” By agreeing to closed-door meetings, Republicans enabled President Obama
Seeking to make virtue out of vice, the political Left has launched a desperate, devious and dangerous ploy to prevent the spending cuts that the public demands. They are laying the groundwork for President Obama to bypass negotiations and to
“Can anyone recall when any rushed-through plan ever lived up to its hype?” Our future should not be determined behind closed doors. Yet that’s where the White House and Congress are holding secret talks about our debt ceiling and about
“It’s an uncomfortable fact that sending a message of solidarity with our NATO allies is more important than sending a message to President Obama.” It’s tempting to cut off funds immediately for President Obama’s ill-conceived Libya offensive. But it’s not
President Obama could learn a lesson from this fable about a great ship. Having received ample warning of icebergs ahead, some of the crew of the HMS Titanic proposed changing course to avoid them. But the captain objected. “Making that
The U.S. House took another whack this week at defunding Obamacare–although the Senate and White House are poised to protect the funding. They took a good swing, but didn’t get a hit. This week the House by 238-183 passed HR
House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) has proposed a budget for grown-ups. Washington’s big spenders have responded with the tired clichés we expect from defenders of big government: “Pulling the rug out from under seniors,” says Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI).
Untouchable. That’s the treatment being given to the $23.6 billion being spent right now to implement Obamacare. This $23.6 billion is part of the $105.5 billion appropriated by the last Congress to fund Obamacare. The remainder (Think of it as
The potential government shutdown is not just history repeating itself between a Democrat President and a Republican House. It’s also a repeat of a key role played by government employee unions. What’s different now is that the public has awakened
Several members of Congress, like Rep. Denny Rehberg (R, MT) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R.-Wash.) are offering amendments that would prevent any new spending from being used to implement Obamacare. Good for them. Those are important additions to the
President Obama’s proposed $53-billion more for “high-speed rail” (on top of a previous $10-billion) is a testimony to the power of adjectives. If it were labeled “plain old rail travel” it would lack the pizzazz but would be far more
To rephrase President Obama’s State of the Union theme: “This is our generation’s apparatchik moment.” Yes, he said “Sputnik” instead, but his actual agenda is about the apparatchik–government by party leaders, bureaucrats and the well-connected. His agenda is symbolized by
Changing the majority party in Congress won’t change how Congress works. The American people consider both parties out-of-touch, and they demand a change in the very culture of Congress. Unless citizens demand that newly-elected Congressmen act immediately during November, they
Would you vote to cut taxes only for the middle-class, if that were your only choice? Who says it’s your only choice? It’s time to place the blame on those who try to box people in. The furor over the
