Health care reform should be focused on the neediest among us. In this regard, the parameters of Obamacare should be narrowed. As a first step, Medicaid should be available to those with low incomes. The system is already in place, and the American…

Some people are sick and tired of discussing the Obamacare fiasco. I am not. The events of the last three years, as President Obama attempted to reform health care, are likely to have a profound impact on America for decades. Moreover, the…

In case you were unaware, America is experiencing a full-blown health care crisis. There are so many problems affiliated with the Obamacare roll-out that the president’s head must be spinning. His signature initiative is about to crumble before his…

The New York Times continued its shameless assault on the most successful people in America in its Saturday edition. In an article titled, "High Income, Low Taxes And Never A Bad Year," James B. Stewart led the charge against those Americans who…

Yesterday was an unmitigated disaster for the Obama administration. In addition to continuing allegations about cover-ups and concerning the attack on the American diplomatic mission to Benghazi, the Fast and Furious operation that armed Mexican…

I'm going to support pundit John Giokaris in his excellent essay, “Blame Obama For the Government Shutdown.”  The liberals can go berserk on me as well, if they choose.  I think President Obama made a huge mistake by not taking up a Republican offer…

I was shocked to read a New York Times story on Saturday titled "Data Back Bloomberg On Disparity With Income." The Times is generally chock-full of reporting, op-ed pieces, and editorials that decry income inequality in New York City and throughout…

This past weekend, some friends and I were discussing the travails of President Obama in the face of the Syrian fiasco, the budget crisis, the debt ceiling issue, the Federal Reserve chair nomination, Obamacare, and all the other problems Obama has…

Leadership and character are two of the critical skills required to be president of the United States. President Obama has proven to be unimpressive in these regards. His pathetic negotiations with conservatives relating to the fiscal affairs of…

The Baltimore Sun is now questioning whether its city should adopt New York City's Stop and Frisk policies, hoping that an implementation of this policy could lead to a reduction in the high number of homicides and encourage population growth in…

The Wall Street Journal, in an article titled "Crime Persists As Grim Challenge For Black Men," presents data that calls into question the opposition to Stop and Frisk. There is something to be said about this data, and how it underscores the point…

There are many things about the Obama administration I oppose. During past several years, I have written extensively about the president’s shortcomings and missteps on PolicyMic. He has disappointed me in almost every important area. It wasn’t…

An article in the Financial Times titled "How The Rich Are Making Sure They Stay On Top"  perpetuates the liberal notion that there is a worldwide conspiracy to repress the working classes. This dark side of income inequality has been the hallmark…

He's the man who "lives vicariously through [himself]" and "once had an awkward moment, just to see how it felt." One year ago, I wrote this PolicyMic piece about the Dos Equis beer ad icon, "the most interesting man in the world." It's about time…

The Edward Snowden affair has intensified the debate about what surveillance techniques are acceptable for the U.S. intelligence agencies in their efforts to protect America. The overriding issue is the balance between national security and our…

New York’s Common Core Test Scores are in, and the results are predictably unsatisfying and lower than previous tests. Overall, 31% of New York State students met the minimum standard in language arts. But the most distressing aspect is the huge gap…

American cities are dealing with severe financial stress. Burdened by mounting debt to service existing debt and pay retirees, major cities will have to decrease services and renegotiate long-standing union contracts to get on solid financial…

In the coming days, President Obama will select a new Federal Reserve Board Chairman to succeed Ben Bernanke, a major political decision that has mostly flown under the radar in the media and on social networks. In normal times, this appointment by…

Recently, I picked up the 2012 report, Fire Department of New York Vital Statistics, which provides a plethora of information about the performance of our brave firefighters. After hearing about the dramatic decline in services in Detroit relating…
