Thomas Sowell: The 'Hunger' Hoax

Another lesson in political deception. Twenty years ago, hysteria swept through the media over "hunger in America." Dan Rather opened a CBS Evening News broadcast in 1991 declaring, "one in eight American children is going hungry tonight." Newsweek, the Associated Press and the Boston Globe repeated this statistic, and many others joined the media chorus, with or ... MORE

Scott Mayer: Free-Market Green Jobs For $2.63 A Day

Taking the challenge to do the math. I employ the services of a landscape maintenance company (AKA a gardener) to maintain my yard. The very existence of his business depends on the collection of that $80 from me ($2.63 a day) as well as the 30 or 40 other people whom he provides his services to each month. This type of service may seem like an unnecessary ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Social Security Disaster

Denial is no longer an option. Politicians who are principled enough to point out the fraud of Social Security, referring to it as a lie and Ponzi scheme, are under siege. Acknowledgment of Social Security's problems is not the same as calling for the abandonment of its recipients. Instead, it's a call to take actions now, while there's time to avert a disaster. Let's look at it.      ... MORE

Grover G. Norquist: Pledge Allegiance, Just Say No

Obama foiled by tax pledge. IN 1986, the taxpayer Protection Pledge was created. The pledge is a written and signed commitment from a candidate for office to his constituents, guaranteeing that the candidate will oppose and vote against any net tax increase. Twenty-five years later, on August 2, 2011, the pledge stopped President Obama in his tracks. Obama and  ...

Mark Hemingway: Feds Make Breathing Tougher For Many

Banning asthma inhalers to fight global warming. Remember how Obama recently waived new ozone regulations at the EPA because they were too costly? Well, it seems that the Obama administration would rather make people with Asthma cough up money than let them make a surely inconsequential contribution to depleting the ozone layer: Asthma patients who rely on ...

John Hinderaker: The Smart And The Dumb

Blind to the bonanza. The smart is Harold Hamm, the founder and CEO of Continental Resources and one of America’s richest men. Hamm is one of the primary developers of the Bakken oil fields; he estimates that they contain 24 billion barrels of oil. The dumb is Barack Obama. The Wall Street Journal describes Hamm’s meeting with Obama: When it was Mr. Hamm’s turn ... MORE

Kathleen Parker: Our Unprepared Graduates

College students have been shortchanged. Jobs, jobs, jobs, we keep hearing. But for whom, whom, whom? Certainly not for the many young Americans being graduated from colleges that have prepared them inadequately for the competitive marketplace. The failure of colleges and universities to teach basic skills, while coddling them with plush dorms and self-  ... MORE

Dera Enochson: Depending On The Government

Dependence runs deep. We're all becoming more and more aware of the danger of depending on any government -- and especially the current one -- but this dependence runs deeper than most of us think. There has been much discussion in recent years about the deep control of government if we let them run our health care. Although I have yet to meet a person under 30 who ... MORE
