The fight over the federal government’s role in health care is far from over. Republicans’ failure to pass a repeal and replace plan did nothing to change the fact that Obamacare is failing. What it did was raise the political stakes for when the inevitable crash happens. First off, let’s put to bed any notion…

If this election proved anything it’s that voters are tired of the same old Washington players, playing the same old Washington games, in which wealthy, connected Americans always seem to win, and blue-collar, everyday Americans always seem to lose. In his 1996 State of the Union, President Bill Clinton declared that “the era of big…

It’s fitting that the open U.S. Senate seat in Nevada may hold the keys to a Senate majority. After all, it’s a seat that’s been held for decades by former Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose iron-fisted rule of the Senate led to a Republican majority two years ago.

Dysfunction, he seemed…

If nothing else, at least Sen. Harry Reid is bold in his mistakenness. In an attempt to end the legislative year on a sour note, not only did he declare that this Congress was the least productive in history, he dared the fact checkers to review his claim. “One of the newspapers here has a…

President Obama’s signature policy achievement, now known as Obamacare, has long been a political sore spot for Democrats. Voter antipathy toward the law played a large part in the substantial midterm losses Democrats suffered in 2010 and 2014. The combination of a trillion dollar price-tag, broken promises and upward pressure on health insurance prices combined…

The Iran Nuclear deal is likely the most strategically important international agreement in a generation. It is sad then that President Obama and Democrats have opted to turn democracy on its head in an effort to ram it through Congress. The problem began when Obama insisted it was a “deal,” not a treaty. The U.S.…

Harry Reid has some nerve. Not that we didn’t already know that, but now that he’s been knocked from his perch as Majority Leader, where he squeezed notions of democracy with an iron fist, he’s taken to casting stones at GOP Senate leadership over the operation of the chamber. Take a look at this passage…
