Yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld the 2,700 page monstrosity of a law commonly called “ObamaCare,” reminding us all that the third branch of government is still government. To those of us unimpaired by a law degree, it did not seem like a difficult question: where, precisely, does the Constitution empower the federal government to mandate […]
You would think that keeping that old car running would qualify very well for ‘sustainability’ tax credits or some gold stars from the Reuse and Recycle crowd, wouldn’t you?

What happens to the deficit? It could go down according to ‘many’ respected observers. It could go up according to ‘many’ other respected observers.

Organizers for the Democratic National Convention have announced that their big Labor Day shindig is relocating from Charlotte Motor Speedway to uptown Charlotte.
