John Stossel: The College Scam
Higher education is not worth the cost. What do Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Mark Cuban have in common? They're all college dropouts. What do Richard Branson, Simon Cowell, and Peter Jennings have in common? They never went to college at all. But today all kids are told: To succeed, you must go to college. Hillary Clinton tells students: ... MORE

Jeffrey Folks: Obama's Plan For $10 Gas
He is closer to achieving it than most realize. American drivers are angry at having to pay $4 a gallon for gas, and understandably so. Their anger is often directed at the oil companies that supply the gas. It should be directed at Barack Obama instead. From the beginning of his appearance on the national stage, Obama has focused on the goal of driving up energy prices with the idea ... MORE
J.D. Homnick: Foreman's Knockout Punch
The silver lining. If you are superstitious about having 13 at table for dinner, you probably should not invite all the people in the state of Florida who thought that the justice system worked well in the Casey Anthony case. That would be the 12 members of the jury which acquitted her, and yours truly. As a constitutional conservative, the verdict of the jury resonates with me ... MORE

The best politicians money can buy are once again deployed to crush competition.
Becky Akers: Apologists For The TSA
Sexual assault has its defenders — and they’re not just behind bars for rape or pedophilia.Nor do they exclusively “work” for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the federal bureaucracy that has decreed its sociopaths may “actually [touch] my vagina four times,” as Susie Castillo, former Miss USA and recent victim, put it. “[The assailant] went up both legs from behind ...

Shikha Dalmia: Driving To Delusionville
Obama's former auto czar in deep denial about bailout. The former Obama auto czar, Ron Bloom, was on Capitol Hill last week telling Congress what a grand bargain the auto bailout has turned out to be for taxpayers. (His testimony should be on the Syfy channel.) But much was missing from his story that he might have heard if he had hung around for the next panel ... MORE

Michael Pento: The Cause And Evidence Of Inflation
The charts tell the tale. My 1988 edition of Webster's Dictionary defines inflation as follows: "An increase in the volume of money and credit relative to available goods, resulting in a substantial and continuing rise in the general price level." These differences are not academic and go a long way toward explaining why economists argue so vociferously. In a heated debate on the ... MORE
Steve Chapman: Free Trade, Without Apologies
International trade has been one of the most powerful forces for prosperity in the history of the world. But a lot of Democrats, including the one occupying the Oval Office, treat it as a mixed blessing at best, requiring reparations for the alleged victims. That's the source of the fight between the president and congressional Republicans over two things the White House wants: ... MORE
The Left's 'Ayn Rand Versus Jesus Christ' Campaign
by Harry Binswanger. The American Values Network, a left-wing group, with considerable funding by George Soros, has launched a media blitz under the banner "Ayn Rand vs Jesus Christ." As an Institute founded by Ayn Rand's heir and devoted to advancing her philosophy, Objectivism, we would like to respond. Since this is an issue Rand faced repeatedly in her lifetime, ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Gross Media Ignorance
Stupid or sinister? There's little that's intelligent or informed about Time magazine editor Richard Stengel's article "One Document, Under Siege" (June 23, 2011). It contains many grossly ignorant statements about our Constitution. If I believed in conspiracies, I'd say Stengel's article is part of a leftist agenda to undermine respect for the founding values of our nation. ... MORE
Mark Thornton: Why Legalize Now?
Suddenly the world is abuzz with talk about legalizing marijuana and other drugs. Political candidates, politicians, former presidents, interest groups, and even the Global Commission on Drug Policy are all calling for drug-policy reform. Given that we are in a worldwide economic and fiscal crisis, why is everyone interested in drug policy? Have we all suddenly regained our senses ... MORE
