Bennett Says End TARP
Senator accuses Obama of “Bait and Switch” with inappropriate use of TARP funds.
Health-care nation: Medical spending threatens everything else
President Obama's critics sometimes say that he is engineering a government takeover of health care or even introducing "socialized medicine" into America. These allegations are wildly overblown. Government already dominates health care, one-sixth of the economy. It pays directly or indirectly for roughly half of all health costs. Medicine is pervasively regulated, from drug approvals to nursing-home rules. There is no "free market" in health care.
Student loans: Not another D.C.-run plan
The federal government has its hands in far too many pots these days. It has taken over U.S. automakers, sectors of the financial industry, and now, along with health care, the Obama administration would like to take over student loans. This would create a huge problem for Utah, where our student loan system actually works.
The Worst Bill Ever
Epic new spending and taxes, pricier insurance, rationed care, dishonest accounting: The Pelosi health bill has it all.
Public plan mirage
In the health-care debate, the "public plan" is all things to all people. For supporters, it would discipline greedy private insurers and make health-care coverage affordable. For detractors, it's a way station on the path to a single-payer insurance system of government-run health care. In reality, the public plan, also known as the public option, is mostly an exercise in political avoidance: It pretends to control costs and improve access to quality care when it doesn't.
