Examiner Politics Timonthy P. Carney: Time for U.S. manufacturers to declare independence -- from government

Timothy P. Carney - Time for U.S. manufacturers to declare independence -- from government
Big industrial lobbies continue to rail against overregulation and overtaxation, but they don't hesitate to come to Capitol Hill with open palms. In June, the manufacturing lobby pushed hard in both chambers of Congress for the preservation and expansion of a federal corporate welfare agency - the Export-Import Bank of the United States. The lobbyists don't have to apply too much pressure, though, because both parties love the subsidies. Read More

Timothy P. Carney - For Americans, 'Independence' and 'Liberty' are inseparable
A parting thought for the July 4 weekend: As a kid, I needed my brothers and parents to explain to me the difference between "Independence" and "Liberty." I think this says something about America. Today is Canada Day. It used to be called "Dominion Day." It's the day the Crown united Canada's providences into one country. This is a common theme in the West: a country's national day is often the day disparate states became one. In Germany it's unification day. In Belgium, it's the crowning of the first Belgian King.

Michael Barone - Obama's corporate jet fixation
I note that President Obama took on corporate jets five or six times in his press conference. Evidently he wants voters to think that changes in the depreciation schedule for corporate jet aircraft will go a long ways toward cutting the federal budget deficit. I doubt that voters are so naive. Read More

David Freddoso - If you're unemployed...
Consider moving to North Dakota, where the cost of living is low, the jobs are plentiful, and entry-level workers at McDonalds can make $15 per hour. In a free market, we'd see a lot more movement in the direction of a state with 0.7 unemployed workers for every job opening. Unfortunately, we are paying people to stay in places where there is no work. Read More

Philip Klein - Obama gets failing grade on "Sunlight Before Signing" pledge
As part of his drive to lead the most transparent administration in history, President Obama once made a “Sunlight Before Signing” promise to post bills online for five days before signing them into law. Yet Jim Harper of the Cato Institute observes that his bad record on this promise has gotten even worse in the current Congress. Read More

Conn Carroll - Schumer confirms White House considering ignoring debt limit
This morning we speculated that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was seriously considering just ignoring the statutory debt limit by claiming it was superseded by section Four of the 14th amendment. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., confirmed that that course of action has been considered by the White House. Read More

Phil Klein - Hawkishness and neoconservatism are not the same thing

Andrew McCarthy has a strong post over at National Review's Corner responding to the absurd attempt by neoconservatives to portray those who oppose intervention in Libya as isolationists. Read More
