Daniel J. Mitchell

I despise the corrupt Washington game of obtaining unearned wealth thanks to the sleazy interaction of lobbyists, politicians, bureaucrats, and interest groups. So you can imagine my unfettered joy when reading about how this odious process is being curtailed by sequestration. ... more

Indian Gaming: The Lobbyists Always Win Sun Feb 12

Chris Edwards

K Street's Super Committee Splurge Fri Nov 11

Michelle Malkin

A November 23 deadline for agreement on $1.2 trillion in budget savings is looming, but no real reductions in the size, scope or spending of government are on the table.
