is Investor's Business Daily. IBD publishes easy-to-read editorials that show the benefits of free markets and capitalism. A sampling:
Energy: The White House billed President Obama's energy policy speech as a response to mounting criticism of record high gas prices. What he delivered was a grab bag of excuses and outright falsehoods.
Corruption: Outrageous bonuses and White House stonewalling guarantee that the Solyndra scandal, in which betting on green lost taxpayers $535 million, won't go away. But Solyndra is no isolated failure.
Tax Policy: The British government introduced a higher tax rate on the rich in 2010, promising that it would bring in added revenue. But, as any sensible person could have guessed, just the opposite has happened.
Energy: Industry leaders gathered in Houston say rising fuel output comes in spite of, not because of, the president's policies and the pain at the pump will soon be excruciating.
Election 2012: Normally a president's faith is a personal, not political, matter and should be left alone. But Obama's faith dictates his political agenda, and therefore is fair game as a campaign issue.
Economy: Failed presidents always come up with excuses, but Obama spinmeister Valerie Jarrett has repeated a White House ploy that takes the cake. In true "1984" style, she says bad times are really good.
Border: It's happened. A resident of El Paso, Texas, was struck by a bullet from embattled Mexico in the latest sign of war spillover. Is this what Janet Napolitano meant by our border safety being "better than ever"?
Energy: The left thought it found in fracking the leverage it could use to further hinder domestic oil and gas production. But fracking isn't an environmental cataclysm. An independent university report confirms this.
Energy: When gas prices hit $4 a gallon in 2008, candidate Barack Obama said it was due to previous failed energy policies. Now that prices are heading still higher, President Obama calls it progress.
