    Timothy P. Carney

    Updated: Mon, Apr 29, 2013

    PHILADELPHIA — “Every one of those babies died in utero.” That is the pillar on which abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s defense rests. Defense attorney John J. McMahon’s closing argument today boiled down to this: Gosnell’s supposed crimes were really just late-term abortions. The...

    Timothy P. Carney

    Published: Mon, Apr 29, 2013

    Those pushing green-energy policy usually make one of two arguments: (A) You’re either with us or you’re with big, greedy business. or (B) Big business is on our side, so join us or hurt the economy. It’s hilarious when the green-energy crowd tries to make both arguments...

  • Tim Carney: Obama should blame Tea Party, not NRA, for gun control defeat

    Timothy P. Carney

    Updated: Sun, Apr 28, 2013

    President Obama, according to his own telling, would have passed a gun control bill supported by nearly every American, but the National Rifle Association drove in trucks full of money and lobbyists, buying off senators.

    When does a free-marketeer condemn corporate profits? When the profits come from the taxpayer. At yesterday’s GE shareholder conference, free-market activist Tom Borelli stood up and, in the context of GE’s involvement in the Fix The Debt campaign, pointed out GE’s tendency to seek and...

  • When they say ‘labor shortage,’ do they just mean ‘we wish wages were lower’?

    Timothy P. Carney

    Published: Thu, Apr 25, 2013

    Most of the muscle for the push to liberalize our immigration laws comes from businesses seeking more skilled technology workers. They say there’s a shortage of workers trained in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM as they call it). This argument has currency among politicians...

    The retirement of Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the tax-writing Finance Committee, means that the Senate will soon lose an office that served as a training ground for future lobbyists and a style of lawmaking based on granting special favors.

  • If you charge high prices, lobby to outlaw low prices

    Timothy P. Carney

    Published: Tue, Apr 23, 2013

    There’s a crisis in England, apparently — binge drinking. Specifically, the story goes, blokes and lasses are buying cheap booze at the corner store, and getting drunk even before they go out on the town. The bar owners have a solution: minimum liquor prices in grocery stores. The...
