Congressional Budget Office

It seems that every generation or two, fundamental economic ideas are questioned and challenged.

Democrats are calling the newest single-payer healthcare proposals “Medicare for All.” 

At the end of June, a U.S. District Court judge blocked Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin from imposing work requirements on Medicaid recipients.

The month of May closed with amazing news on the economy. It looks unstoppable and signals the best recovery since World War II.

As Congress continues to dither and delay entitlement reform, the Trump administration has empowered state lawmakers to take charge and do what Washington either can’t or won’t do: reform government spending and health care.

Once again, the financial fears have been ratcheted up due to recent announcements by the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that by the middle of March 2018 the Federal government will have run out of room to continue borrowing due to the official debt ceiling.

Where are you more likely to earn a better salaried income, in the private sector or working for the government?

Lawmakers and voters should fight to make sure Trump carries out his promise of removing the government boot from taxpayers’ throats, so that taxpayers can breathe a little easier when they sign their check to the Internal Revenue Service in future years.

Some old-guard Republicans are floating the idea of a national tax on carbon-dioxide emissions.

For a half-century, conservatives have watched Congress incur deficits and accumulate debt, making ours one of the most indebted countries in the world.

The idea of a carbon dioxide tax fits in seamlessly with the romantic, often quixotic, worldview of the modern environmental movement. It’s a well-intentioned notion that’s untethered to reality, and which would produce few appreciable gains, while causing major damage.

Maine is one of the few states that has seriously addressed the growth of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, and it should be applauded for doing so.

Everyone knows government sucks, but it will at least suck a little less with these cuts to the vacuum-based erection program. It’s just too bad they’re blowing all the savings on a new spending splurge.
