It’s a race against time. Obamacare is going into effect, piece by piece, link by link, yard by yard. The idea when legislating big programs such as this is to push up as many benefits as possible early in the timeline, and shove the burdens as far down the road…

Senator Ted Cruz’s non-filibuster filibuster, monopolizing the Senate floor for the ninth hour as I type these words, is easy to characterize — if you are Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. Easy to make fun of, especially when the senator read Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham as a bedtime…

When in the fight for liberty should one give up? Never. Contrary to deterministic notions of social change, there’s nothing inevitable or permanent about any loss of our freedom. What then should we make of the words of Daily Debate scrivener Robert Tracinski? Noting criticism of Florida Governor Rick Scott…

“Moving on from unfulfilling jobs, thanks to health-care law,” was the gleeful headline* on the story spoon-fed to The Washington Post by Families USA, a pro-Obamacare group that maintains a “database of people who have benefitted” from the law (a pretty easy gig, no doubt).

If political dishonesty were an Olympic sport, Missouri State Rep. Scott Largent would qualify for the medal round. Rep. Largent has served two terms in the state’s lower house, representing the 120th District. Now he’s running as a “consistent conservative” in a three-way race in the newly redistricted Senate District…

To solve our problems, we need the freedom — to plan, to create, to market and profit. We need the freedom to use the capital we gain by solving problems — whether the capital comes in the form of money, knowledge, or reputation — to solve other problems. That’s as…

MIT economist Jonathan Gruber has had a big influence on American life, much of it “behind the scenes.” He helped put together RomneyCare in Massachusetts, then Obamacare at the federal level. And he made a curious case for abortion that was picked up by Steven Levitt and made famous in…
