Government grows by a ratchet effect. When Democrats gained unified control over Congress and the Executive Branch in 2009 they understandably moved to increase the size and scope of government, rather than, say, swiftly follow through with President Obama’s various promises to withdraw from foreign interventions. Adding new stuff? More…

If an email popped up offering free money, what would you do? Delete it? And wonder how it got past your spam filter? Me, too. Well, some Washington wags — call them re-distribution professionals — say we’re crazy. As are Republicans in the 19 states that have refused to expand…

The Pelosi-Obama Affordable Care Act was passed as a pig-in-a-poke. Now with that poke open, with the pig fully emergent as of next year, what do we know about “Obamacare”?
