There Is Only One Healthcare Solution

By Jacob G. Hornberger

Ever since the Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010, conservatives have had a field day complaining about Obamacare and promising to repeal it whenever they got the chance to do so. That chance has now arrived, with Republicans now controlling both houses of Congress and the presidency.

Now they don’t know what to do. Many people have become dependent on Obamacare. They’re likely to be left out in the cold with respect to insurance coverage if Obamacare is repeal...

Can Trump Rein In The CIA?

Rumors are buzzing that President-elect Trump plans a big overhaul of the CIA and the intelligence community in general. Will he? Can he? And what might it look like when he's done?

"Replacing" Obamacare Is Not Enough

By Ron Paul

Americans need to talk about not just "replacing" Obamacare, but the concept of who should be delivering medical services in a free country. Here's a hint: Not the government!

Where Trump Gets It Wrong On China

By Chris Rossini

The ideas of 'protectionism' and 'mercantilism' are not new. They have ruined countless economies throughout history. Donald Trump did not make these ideas up. Sadly, however, he has embraced them to a large extent. The idea of trade being a zero-sum game where there are winners and losers is deeply flawed.

This flaw appears in one of Trump's latest Tweets, where he writes:

China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but...

Ron Paul Statement on Audit the Fed

By Ron Paul

I applaud my son Senator Rand Paul and my friend Representative Thomas Massie for their leadership on the important issue of auditing the Federal Reserve. Audit the Fed is the type of change the American people demanded when they went to the polls last November.

For 105 years, the Federal Reserve has exercised almost absolute and unquestioned authority over America’s monetary policy. The result has been a boom-and-bust business cycle, growth in government, increasing income inequali...

Will Trump's Trade Policy Bring Jobs Back Home?

President-elect Trump has already gotten tough with three US manufacturing giants, warning that there will be financial penalties for building plants abroad. Will strong-arming these companies succeed in bringing jobs back home?

Restaurants to Eliminate More Waiters in Response to Minimum Wage Hike

By Ryan McMaken

Colorado was among the four states where voters approved a minimum wage hike in November. Among the specific provisions for the new wage hike was the stipulation that tipped workers — such as waiters who receive tips and are paid below the standard minimum wage — willreceive a mandated wage hike of 99 cents.

Naturally, this will lead to an increase in costs for restaurant owners who will then seek to raise prices and/or reduce costs.KDVR in Denver reports:

Facts Or Fakes: Can We Trust The Washington Post?

So the Washington Post is going to lead the fight against fake news? Isn't that like putting the fox in the henhouse? Time and time again of late the WaPo is caught colluding with the US government to create fake news. Is the mainstream media having a nervous breakdown?

A great story from when America was still the Land of Opportunity

By Simon Black

Last week during a long overdue vacation, a close friend of mine recommended reading the autobiography of Rich DeVos called Simply Rich.

DeVos is a billionaire entrepreneur who started countless ventures during his nine decades on this earth.

Back in the 1946, for example, DeVos started an airline… virtually overnight.

He just bought an airplane and started flying people around. No rules. No regulations.

They didn’t even have an airport. The local airfield north of Grand Rapid...
