Following in the footsteps of students at Missouri and Yale, students at Vanderbilt are now petitioning for the suspension of Professor of Law and Political Science Carol Swain for being “hateful” toward minorities. According to Peter Kirsanow in National Review, Carol Swain, who is black, made “politically incorrect statements about radical Islam and her traditional Christian […]
Stephen Moore’s Case for a Complete Flat Tax
The flat tax plans of Rand Paul and Ted Cruz would eliminate the payroll tax and corporate taxes—entirely—writes Stephen Moore in NRO. Most economists would agree that their plans are consumption-based tax plans that use the proper base for taxing business output. Each candidate’s proposed flat tax plan may not be perfect, but they are […]
Why the U.S. Economy Deserves a D Grade
Stephen Moore in the Washington Times gives the real report card on the economy under President Obama: Economic growth: AnemicThis recovery is a bust. The growth rate of 2 percent under Mr. Obama’s recovery means we have $2 trillion less GDP today than we would if Obama’s performance had been average — i.e. a C […]
ObamaCare = Chaos
Health insurance under enlightened federal management — the heart of Obamacare — is not coming to pass, writes Kevin D. Williamson in NRO. It is dead and will not be revived. The fundamental problem with ACA is that under it, insurance ceases to be insurance. Insurance is a prospective financial product, one that exploits the […]
CNBC Gives Viewers the Full Monty
Thanks to CNBC’s bias, viewers of the 3rd Republican debate were treated to an outstanding evening in debate politics. The WSJ’s William McGurn writes, “CNBC’s Waterloo had little to do with its moderators’ questions and everything to do with the snark and contempt they came drenched in.” With the CNBC moderators consistently challenging the anti-big-government […]
John Harwood Condescending and Obnoxious
In the third GOP debate, the ideological hostility was painstakingly obvious. As Peggy Noonan writes in the WSJ, the browbeating and interruptions were meant to throw candidates off course. Since Chris Christie has called climate change undeniable, asked Mr. Harwood, what would he do about it? Mr. Christie said his solutions would not be the […]
Simple, Efficient and Fair Taxation
Ted Cruz has a simple tax plan that he claims will spur robust economic growth and job creation and raise after-tax income. Perhaps the best part of Mr. Cruz’s Tax Plan is that it would allow people to file their taxes on a postcard or phone app and eliminate “the rat’s nest of complex tax […]
ObamaCare Awefulness
When it comes to Obamacare and low enrollment numbers, no amount of cajoling, bribery, or punishment can make people buy a lousy product, writes the Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner. Not helping the enrollment numbers is that a number of bugs have surfaced at healthcare.gov. According to the NYT, “officials and insurers are finding that the […]
Lying to a Nation
‘We’ve seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.” From Hillary Clinton, secretary of state, with President Obama by her side, September 14, 2012. Andrew […]
A Practiced Actress
Hillary Clinton’s goal going into the Benghazi Committee hearings was to make the Republicans look tiresome and obsessive, which, as Peggy Noonan notes, often is not hard. The Republicans, however, were able interrogators, and Chairman Trey Gowdy “set a tone not of theatrics but factuality.” By addressing at the outset Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s “witless comments,” […]
