Government And Institutions

The controversy over the alleged conflicts of interest between the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s duties as secretary of state continues.  

Here’s a message to all presidential candidates: quit trying so hard to be like us. And just explain how you plan to lead us.

As if a top rate of 40% weren't enough (and really 45% when you throw in health-care related Medicare and investment surtaxes). Squeeze them still more?

Democrat Hillary Clinton told Americans on Sunday that she wanted to be their champion as she officially launched her 2016 presidential campaign.

The president noted that the lackluster jobs numbers released Friday interrupted the strongest period of U.S. job growth in a decade and a half.

Beware of politicians who blame bad numbers on the weather. Ask them why they never credit the good ones ... on the sun.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio said U.S. businesses could do more to help the economy and its workers.

The Obama administration on Friday unveiled its first major standards for oil companies that frack on federal lands, including beefed-up safety measures to protect groundwater, prompting industry complaints they will be a barrier to growth.

Before the Obama administration starts crowing about cost for the Affordable Care Act coming down... they might want to take another look at what's ‘really’ going down.

The president on Monday proposed a $3.99 trillion budget for fiscal year 2016, setting up an across-the-aisle battle with the GOP over programs aimed at benefiting the middle class and funded through higher taxes on corporations and America's wealthy.

President Obama on Tuesday in his sixth State of the Union address took his message directly to middle-class Americans, proposing an array of programs and reforms intended to pull more of that vast demographic swath into the strengthening economic recovery.

The president must figure he has nothing to lose, so in the State of the Union speech he'll likely take credit for the upward tick of the U.S. economy, among other items. In all probability, the applause will last longer Tuesday night than the life of any of these measures in Congress.

Marilyn Tavenner, the top official at the U.S. agency overseeing the troubled rollout of the health law and the Medicare insurance program for the elderly, is leaving her post in February, agency officials confirmed Friday.
