Austan Goolsbee's bad math

White House financial guru Austan Goolsbee just got off Fox News' "Your World with Neil Cavuto" with a whopper that he should've been challenged on. Goolsbee claimed that Republicans have no right to complain about President Barack Obama's historic deficit levels because they supported "multi-trillion dollar unnecessary wars." I'm not sure about his use of […]

You bought it, you own it

President Barack Obama's worldwide apology tour is getting old -- and it's barely even started. It's one thing to strike a tone and take positions different from a previous administration, especially one of a different party. But Obama has gone around the world apologizing for every real and perceived slight this nation has ever visited […]

Return of the railroads?

President Barack Obama announced plans yesterday to spend way too much money on a high-speed rail system. Apparently he's enthused because Amtrak has done so well. But the one part that really got me was this one: "Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city -- no racing to an airport and across […]

Government as the source for good works

Vice President Joe Biden has famously said that paying taxes is patriotic. Yesterday was tax day and Biden went out of his way to make sure that he maximized his "patriotism" by minimizing his charity.

Science first? Hardly

While campaigning Barack Obama vowed that he wouldn't subordinate science to politics like President George W. Bush had. He was lying. Barack Obama too ignores the science when it conflicts with his policy goals, as David Freddoso has noted: But before this ceremony even took place, Obama’s administration had already begun cutting corners on its […]

Who does the government fear?

UPDATE! This post has been updated Many of you will recall the report put out a few years ago by the Bush administration's Department of Homeland Security warning of the rise of left-wing extremism. The report singled out universities for their subversive "peace studies" programs (and the affiliated gender/minority "studies" programs) and groups like Code […]

Watching the referees

Earlier this month President Barack Obama signed a law raising the cigarette tax 62 cents a pack, bringing the total federal tax to $1.01. The additional income (assuming that the increased costs don't result in decreased consumption and less net income) will be used to fund the State Children's Health Insurance Program for the poor, […]

If there's a carbon crisis, act like it

President Barack Obama is pushing a cap-and-trade program that has the ultimate goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the name of halting global warming. It accomplishes this by artificially raising prices of carbon-based fuels -- coal, natural gas, gasoline -- in order to discourage their use. It's called cap-and-trade, but it's really a big […]
