The most pernicious of his [Obama] proposals will be the massive Make Work Pay refundable tax credit. Dressed up as a tax cut, it will be a national welfare program, guaranteeing a majority of American households an annual check to 'refund' taxes they never paid. And it will eliminate the need for about 20% of American households to pay income taxes, lifting the proportion that need not do so to a majority of the voting population.

Growth demands investment, and investment demands stability. So the more Obama stirs the pot with his proposals and potential changes, the more he retards exactly the investment he needs to get the economy moving again.

There is literally no such thing as an idea that cannot be expressed well and articulately to today's voters in thirty seconds.

It is from the center that leaders must lead.

Much of the DOE green energy lending program is a scam. It is a slush fund of pork for paying back campaign contributors.
