The [...]
Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is having a rally on August 19th to oppose any expansion of Medicaid in Virginia (and rights-reducing Obamacare, generally). Unfortunately for all VA taxpayers, expanding Medicaid will only result in higher taxes for all, once the federal government "sugar" runs out after the initial implementation. And let's state the obvious fact...all [...]
[column col="1/2"]Well, there hasn't been much talk lately about "global warming", except in the context of trying to shutter America's coal industry. Perhaps this is because the scaremongering is unraveling, that folks are beginning to realize that the science and contemporary observation just simply doesn't support the theories/models for climate change.

A review of a report from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce shows some sobering figures regarding the expected increases in health insurance premiums nationwide.

You won't believe this (well, yes you probably will). From The Hill on Friday: With little fanfare, the House quickly voted Friday to repeal a financial transparency requirement for senior government officials, which was part of a much-heralded government transparency bill last year. Members passed S. 716 by unanimous consent, with no debate and [...]

You have likely seen discussion recently regarding "sequestration", or the mandatory federal budget cuts (a decrease in the INCREASE of spending, but that's another story) that were signed into law last year by President Obama. Now, those cuts are mandatory, but where to apply them is completely at the whims of our government. There is [...]
Why in the world is the federal government involved in setting nationwide education standards? Exactly where is that power given to the federal government? Don't these people realize that you get the absolute BEST education outcomes when states are free to experiment/manage their own education methods and standards? We're supposed to have 50 individual experiment [...]
