It is 'black letter' law.

At the Supreme Court, a Big Threat to Unions

Justice Samuel Alito actively dislikes a longstanding precedent protecting public-union funding. Now he has another chance to kill it.

It matters who is appointed to the court.

Dirty School Buses, Sick Kids

Volkswagen should be forced to replace old, diesel-belching school buses as penance for its emissions cover-up.

Let the children walk.
Electrics and hybrids are possible.
Volkswagon should make repairs rather than amends.

A Placebo Treatment for Pain

Our own brains might offer an alternative to addictive opioids.

The Dying do not care if they are addicted.
Let us provide what relief we can to the dying and not addict the recovering.

AA helps those who can use it.

A Way to Start Paying College Athletes

A salary cap for college football and men’s basketball players would not break the bank nor completely abandon free-market principles. Here’s how it might work.

Play for pay is the rule I would like to see.
Football programs provide no useful education in most cases.

The NCAA should not be broadcast.
Let the fans go to the games.
Football should not be played.

Taxpayer Advocate Warns of ‘Pay to Play’ I.R.S. System

The agency plans to expand the role of tax preparers and reduce telephone interaction with taxpayers, she said.

The Republican ideal is a government that cannot tax.
Directly or indirectly a government must tax to pay its costs.
If it does not it soon loses the ability to borrow to smooth its income stream.
Taxation also raises the value of money when the banks provide easy credit.
