Noonan: Government by Freakout

Posted on February 23rd, 2013

Obama’s scare tactics aren’t much of a long-term strategy. The president’s sequester strategy is like Howard Beale in “Network”: “Woe is us. . . . And woe is us!

Why they want to go over the cliff

Posted on December 28th, 2012

  By JONATHAN ALLEN   Washington’s Democratic and Republican power brokers have sent the message to the nation that going over the fiscal cliff is a worst-case scenario.

Henninger: Obama’s Ruinous Course

The GOP’s Cold Comfort

Posted on November 13th, 2012

  Denial is no consolation — it’s time for clear-eyed reassessment. By: Rich Lowry No sooner had the electoral thundercloud arrived last Tuesday than some Republicans began searching it for a silver lining.
