Promoting the General Welfare
Steny Hoyer (and I am sure others will follow) has claimed that the ‘General Welfare’ allows Congress to force Americans to buy healthcare insurance. He is clearly wrong, as one of my favorite law professors, Professor Shea used to say, Congress cannot legislate for the General Welfare. Here is why Hoyer is wrong. The United... »
The Importance of Being Earnest (and Vocal)

Why Cash for Clunkers is not chump Change™
Democrats in Congress are anxious to add another $2 billion to the fiasco known as Cash for Clunkers. To understand how little $2 billion is to the federal government, as I’ve said before, divide $2 billion by $2.3 trillion and multiply the result by your gross salary (so not much; about the equivalent of... »
