    If you have heard the expression, “Sell the sizzle, not the steak,” then you are already familiar with the Republican plan to sell conservatives on the Gang of Ocho immigration bill. There still is no legislative text available, but that is not stopping Sen. Marco Ruio, R-Fla., and company...

    Conn Carroll

    Published: Sat, Apr 13, 2013

    It's hard to remember now that President Obama's agenda has degenerated into a sham gun control bill with loopholes big enough to drive a Mack truck through, but back in 2008, progressives had big dreams about how to reshape the entire U.S. economy, starting with the energy sector. For years,...

    Last night on Twitter I received from push back from followers after I asserted that one reason conservatives should oppose President Obama’s vhained CPI cuts to Social Security is that such a policy change would also amount to a tax hike on many middle-class families. It is. Here is how...

  • Morning Examiner: Obama’s tax, spend, borrow, and redistribute budget

    Conn Carroll

Unfortunately, according to the Congressional Budget Office, Obama’s debt savings are only half what...
