The best editorial page you will find:

is Investor's Business Daily.  IBD compiles easy-to-read editorials that show the benefits of free market capitalism.

Big Government:  The lie at the heart of the European Union has been exposed this week as its leaders, worried about a monetary collapse, have pushed a new plan to make its government even bigger and more centralized.

Economy:  Stubbornly high unemployment isn't the only thing ailing this recovery. Inflation keeps rising even as growth stagnates, raising the specter of 1970s-style "stagflation."

California:  Taking a break from leading his city down the path of economic decline, the mayor of Los Angeles lectures the state on how to squeeze more tax revenue out of business.

Scandal:  As guns funneled by the ATF into Mexico continue to show up at crime scenes, three key supervisors of an operation that resulted in the deaths of two U.S. agents get moved up instead of fired.

Unions:  An Ohio contractor was wounded by gunfire Wednesday by a shadowy man vandalizing his SUV with union threats. Where's Washington's outrage at such lawlessness?

Economy:  With the Obama stimulus fully exposed as a failure of galactic proportions, columnist Paul Krugman has unveiled his Plan B: space aliens. Too bad White House policy also remains on another planet.

Racism:  Across the U.S., mobs of black youths are organizing on Facebook to loot stores and beat whites. Yet none dare call the "flash mob" attacks hate crime, least of all the attorney general.

Scandal:  The Cook County Assessor's office appears to have no record of any tax being paid on a property transfer between a future convicted felon and a future president in possible violation of Illinois law.

Failed Policy:  The Obama administration's jobs plan was based on a greening of the economy. But the green jobs aren't materializing, a fact driven home by the recent bankruptcy of a solar power company.
