The Congressional Budget Office Foresees A $30 Trillion Debt As A Result Of Looming Tax Hikes And Obamacare
by Stephen Dinan. The federal government will be flirting with $30 trillion in debt within a decade, the Congressional Budget Office
reported Monday, blaming an aging population, new spending and tax cuts
approved on Capitol Hill, and the growing burden from Obamacare for
erasing the progress Washington had made over the past few years. ... MOREObama’s Top Ten Constitutional Violations Of 2015
by Ilya Shapiro. As we approach the final year of Barack Obama’s presidency, there isn’t much that the president can do to change people’s opinion of him, for better or worse. His legacy, barring some extraordinary occurrence — including an extraterrestrial one, as the holiday advertising blitz for the new Independence Day movie reminds us — is ... MORE
John Stossel: Politicians Without Borders
Today's politicians seem to have few limits. When driving on treacherous roads, guardrails are useful. If you fall asleep or maybe you're just a bad driver, guardrails may prevent you from going off a cliff. Recently, The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel used the phrase "no political guardrails" to point out how many of today's ... MOREPeter Suderman: Democrats And Republicans Team Up To Bust The Budget With A $1.8 Trillion Spending Package
Politicians indulge themselves at taxpayer expense. One way to understand the massive federal spending package is as a compromise between Republicans and Democrats to ignore the deficit. The deal is made of two different elements—a 2,009-page omnibus that folds in 12 appropriations bills and calls for $1.1 trillion in spending, ... MORE
That Obamacare Penalty Will Be Bigger Than You Think
by Dan Mangan. The stick's getting a lot bigger — but it's not clear that many more people will choose the carrot as a result. Households that opt to go without health insurance in 2016 are set to get hit with an average Obamacare fine of $969. That is 47 percent higher than the average $661 penalty per uninsured household for this year, a new analysis ... MOREShikha Dalmia: Obamacare Is Falling Apart
Insurers are bolting from the exchanges. President Obama has been hammered for his failure on ISIS in the wake of the Paris attacks. But there's at least one bright spot for him in that criticism: At least it deflected the spotlight from the unfolding catastrophe that is Obamacare. Indeed, last month brought arguably the worst news for the ... MOREMichael Lewitt: The Economy Is Coming Unglued
Signs that the wheels are coming off the wagon. Commodity prices are plunging, the dollar is powering higher, Obamacare is collapsing, economies everywhere are faltering, and terrorism is spreading across the globe. That’s bad news. Unless you happen to be among the stock market investors who in the U.S. spent the last week bidding up stock ... MOREObamacare Rules Brew Trouble For Craft Beer Makers
By Eric Boehm. Obamacare regulations could be brewing up trouble for small breweries wanting to grow. Beginning next year, restaurant chains with more than 20 locations nationwide will be subject to new rules requiring calorie information on all menus. Restaurants will have to measure menu items made in-house, but when it comes to ... MORENY Post: ObamaCare’s Imploding Even Without Repeal
Maybe the politicos should have read the bill. It’s looking like ObamaCare won’t survive even if Congress can’t manage to repeal it. The nation’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealth Group, said last week that it’s losing too much — $425 million — from policies sold on the health exchanges, and may have to pull out by 2017. The company ... MOREA New Taxpayer Bailout To Cover Up ObamaCare’s Failure?
by Betsy McCaughey. How dare the Obama administration bail out insurance companies with our money in order to hide ObamaCare’s failures. Thursday, just hours after giant insurer UnitedHealthcare said it’s losing money selling ObamaCare plans and will likely exit the health exchanges next year, the Obama administration quietly ... MORE
Mass Exodus! U.S. Doctors Fleeing Medicine
by Greg Corombos. Obamacare is not only making patients miserable. Mountains of Obamacare-related paperwork and the threats of severe fines for the slightest errors are forcing many doctors to retire and others to shut down their practices and work under the protection of hospitals, and all of it spells bad news for patients. Galen Institute President ... MOREJames Hall: Undeniable Social Security Demographics
The math does not add up. What are the consequences for Social Security in an economy where fewer and fewer workers have a job? Add in the tax burdens that come to comply for Obamacare coverage and it is difficult to see where all the needed new employment will come from to keep funding the government Ponzi scheme? Government ... MOREAvik Roy: Flatlined - White House Says Obamacare Exchange Enrollment Growth To Collapse In 2016
Not difficult to understand. For years,
this blog has been warning about how the high cost of
Obamacare-sponsored insurance would limit the law’s expansion of health
coverage. Well, the chicken has come home to roost. Today, the Obama
administration announced that it projected dramatically lower enrollment
growth for Obamacare’s ... MOREStephen Moore: America's $12 Trillion House of Cards
A precarious situation indeed. What is the price tag for the audacious Obamanomics experiment? How much has it all cost — the bailouts, the debt, the stimulus plans, the printing of cheap money, Obamacare and all the rest? The answer to that question is just shy of $12 trillion. That's the sum of the $8.3 trillion added to the national ... MORE
Poll: Gun Control Far Scarier Than ‘Mass Shootings’
by Awr Hawkins. On October 13, Chapman University released its Survey of American Fears and revealed that more than twice as many Americans fear gun control than fear “mass shootings.” While those on the left may scratch their heads to wonder how this could be, the facts are that gun control leads to gun-free zones, which, in turn, appear ...

Joseph Farah: 3 Reasons You Can't Trust Washington
Love your country, but never trust your gov't - Bob Novak. Far too many Americans have come to the conclusion that only the federal government can solve problems. The Democrats all believe it. Lots of Republican politicians accept it. For the news media, it’s an article of faith. But America was founded on the notion that powerful ... MORETrump on 60 Minutes: “We Need Socialized Medicine”
by Emily Zanotti. This weekend, I got my third health insurance cancellation notice in three years. First, they cancelled the wonderful individual plan we bought for ourselves before the Obamacare law kicked in, after threatening to raise the price on it by over 50%. Then, they cancelled the plan we selected from the then-nonworking ... MORE
