The best editorial page you will find...

Is Investor's Business Daily.  IBD published easy to read editorials that tout Free Markets and Capitalism.  A must read...

Coup:  After helping topple a key ally, will the Obama administration now foolishly pressure Egypt's military? Will the U.S. help Islamists posing as democrats gain power?

Spending:  How gratifying it is to see Republicans take seriously their pledge to cut $100 billion out of the budget. They've lived up to their word — a rarity in Washington these days. But the truth is, it's only the very start.

Politics:  As states struggle to slash budgets, Big Labor's two major confederations are spending big for a new PR campaign and recruiting drive to defend public employee unions. Their act shows why they've got to go.

Policy Errors:  The administration is embarking on a campaign to promote the U.N. and America's role in the organization. This is exactly the opposite of what it should be doing.

California:  California Gov. Jerry Brown must rapidly close a $25 billion budgetary shortfall. But right now it seems almost a hopeless task since the state's disastrous budget is a symptom, not the cause, of California's much larger nightmare.

Reform:  As the head of Medicaid and Medicare services testifies in favor of ObamaCare, the CBO director says it will destroy 800,000 jobs. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

Politics:  If there's any doubt the new Congress intends to cut spending and reboot the economy, look at how it sank a $2.4 billion pork program to force the White House to live up to its promises. This is a welcome sign of backbone.

Federal Authority:  At a contentious hearing on legislation to keep the EPA from regulating carbon dioxide as a pollutant, Republicans rightly called global warming a power-grabbing hoax that is all pain for no gain.
