  • Budget banquet needs some humble pie

    Published March 27, 2013

    For most of Barack Obama’s presidency, a series of continuing resolutions kept the money -- your money -- flowing. Now the Senate wants to add a trillion dollars of new taxes, even more than President Obama seeks. 

  • Imperial Washington

    Published March 27, 2013

    Our government is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people...but when I look at Washington, D.C., I see a government of elites. Rules are made by the elites, for the elites. It's one reason why seven of America's ten richest counties now surround D.C. In this week's syndicated column, I look at Imperial Washington.

  • Mr. Stossel Goes to College (9PM on FBN)

    Published March 21, 2013

    Tonight, students from around the world at the "Students for Liberty" conference discuss liberty, and specific issues that affect students.

  • The education 'blob' that's crushing our kids

    Published March 21, 2013

    Union contracts limit flexibility, limit promotion of good teachers, waste money and make it hard for principals to fire even terrible teachers.

  • The Blob That Eats Kids

    Published March 19, 2013

    I blame teachers unions a lot for our failed education system. But they aren't the only ones responsible. In this week's syndicated column, I take on the education "Blob".

    The Blob includes the teachers unions, but also janitors and principals unions, school boards, PTA bureaucrats, local politicians and so on.

  • Illegal Everything (9PM on FBN)

    Published March 14, 2013

    I argue that America has become a country where no one can know what is legal.

    Kids who open lemonade stands are now shutdown by police. I tried to open a lemonade stand legally in NYC. That was quite an adventure. It takes 65 days to get permission from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

    With government adding 80,000 pages of rules and regulations every year, it's no surprise that regular people break laws without even trying.

  • Frack to the Future

    Published March 13, 2013

    In my syndicated column this week, I discuss celebrities' new campaign against fracking - the process of injecting chemicals into the ground to crack rocks to release oil and gas.

    With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I'd think celebrities would love fracking.

  • Why do Hollywood celebrities hate fracking?

    Published March 13, 2013

    With everyone saying they want alternatives to foreign oil, I’d think celebrities would love fracking.

  • Fracking is Wonderful

    Published March 09, 2013

    In my special tomorrow, titled "Myths, Lies and Complete Stupidity" I argue that it is myth to say that fracking, used to get natural gas out of the ground, is unacceptably dangerous.

  • MYTHS, LIES, AND COMPLETE STUPIDITY AIRS SUNDAY at 8 PM ET on FOX NEWS

    Published March 07, 2013

    What you think you know... is often wrong. Sunday I look at seven MYTHS... LIES... AND COMPLETE STUPIDITIES:

    • FOOD... MYTH: Government should help people make healthy choices for themselves. TRUTH: The nanny state reduces your freedom while accomplishing little.

    • MAIL... MYTH: The post office should deliver the mail. TRUTH: The private sector does it better.
