The big health-care debate in Congress this summer was over the wrong issue. Instead of threatening to bankrupt Medicare by forcing the taxpayers to buy prescription drugs for seniors, Congress should relieve the taxpayers and paying-patients of the burden of providing hospital care for illegal aliens.

Having had to retreat from legislative attempts to establish a national ID card through Social Security numbers or unique health care identifiers, Congress seems to be trying a new tack to implement this wholly un-American idea.

Where are all those strict-constructionist Republicans who’ve been complaining about activist judges who don’t respect the fact that the U.S. Constitution gives “all legislative powers” to the Congress? Don’t those Republicans realize that it is just as unconstitutional to transfer legislative powers to the executive branch?

“I am ruling out a tax increase,” the new Governor of debt-ridden New Jersey declared the day after his election. He said he is embarking on “an agonizing reappraisal of what government should do, and perhaps more importantly, what government ought not be doing.”

When demonstrators displayed anti-American signs against our President while traveling to Europe last month, we could brush it off as a bunch of street radicals getting their kicks.

The IRS tax collector, using the police power of the government, takes a big slice of your income while sweet-talking you with the lie that this organized theft is really an investment (even though it will rapidly vanish rather than grow).

Instead of the present plan to cut the death tax rates for all in small incremental steps stretched out over many years, President Bush and Congress should compromise by raising the exemption to $10 million.

Since Bill Clinton stuck his finger in the eye of all who care about American sovereignty and constitutional rights by signing the International Criminal Court (ICC) Treaty on New Year’s Eve, Congress should immediately pass Senator Jesse Helms’s American Servicemembers’ Protection Act.

Denmark’s dramatic decision to ditch the euro holds an important lesson for both Europeans and Americans: the march toward the global economy is fundamentally anti-democratic. The gulf between the euro advocates and the euroskeptics is now being called the “democratic deficit.”
