Government Punishes Producers With More Expense
Business gets the bill for extended UIB. WASHINGTON (AP) — States that borrowed billions from the federal government to keep unemployment benefits flowing through the recession now have to start paying those loans back, and they're hitting businesses with new assessments and higher taxes to make that happen. In all, 27 states owe the federal government nearly ... MORE
David Harsanyi: Occupy Wall Street - A Manifesto
What's really going on at the Wall Street protests? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men, women, and transgendered—and any other human who is able to elude the tyranny of work for a couple of weeks—are created equal. We gather to be free not of tyranny, but of responsibility and college tuitions. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that a government .... MORE
Sharyl Attkisson: Top Cop Caught Lying To Congress
Excuses being made at fast and furious pace. New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress. On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I ... MORE
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

Bad news for Barry! A peek inside the bubbling Solyndra scandal.
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 ... MORE
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
