This past weekend, the left’s best and brightest met in Las Vegas to discuss, among other things, how they can rush America pell-mell toward an NHS-style, single-payer, government-run health care system. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, surrounded by a friendly audience on his home turf, proclaimed the public option a fait accompli. Meanwhile, as Philip [...]

Giving Failed Bureaucrats Even More Power is Not a Good Idea

This can’t possibly lead to anything good.

Well, let’s read what he had to say about it. “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully,” the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” “The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural [...]

The Senate is going to finally privatize its cafeteria because the food and service is so bad that Senators and staffers actually prefer to walk across the street to the House’s cafeteria. The privatization is expected to make the Senate just under a million dollars in its first year, improve service, and provide better food. [...]
