America has a spending problem. Last month, the Congressional Budget Office reported that debt held by the public will exceed the entire economic output of the country next year. Within ten years, the debt will reach 116% of GDP—”an amount greater than at any point in the nation’s history,” as the ...

The Biden administration may soon finalize rules that would deprive many Americans, especially young and healthy ones, of affordable insurance coverage.

There’s a saying that nothing good in life is free. The latest Obamacare enrollment numbers are a case in point.
